NH COVID-19 UPDATE: Online Orders Still Shipping
Posted by The STRATosphere on 27th Mar 2020
In full compliance with New Hampshire Governor Sununu's emergency order #17 we will no longer be open to the general public through May 4, 2020. We certainly hope this will be adequate time to stop the spread of the virus so we can all resume our normal lives.
Per the governor's official schedule of businesses allowed to still operate we are authorized to keep our online only warehouse running in the meantime. We have rearranged our warehouse layout to allow for proper social distancing protocols & have/will continue cleaning the shipping facility meticulously. All orders you place will still ship within the same time period and our entire inventory is available through purchase on our website and marketplaces. We appreciate all of your support and hope everyone stays safe.
For additional details on the New Hampshire emergency order & business exemption list please visit the New Hampshire Department of Heath & Human Services website at: https://www.nh.gov/covid19/resources-guidance/businesses.htm. Refer to page 11, “Other Retail- Curbside Pick or Delivery” of the Essential Business List.
