In bound shipping to BRH is back on track so there
should be no further delays in getting your orders
to you in a timely manner!. At this point there are
no weather delays that we are aware of.
Walthers Flyer Download Issues
On line links to the Walthers Flyers that they have
supplied BRH around the 20th of each month have had some
issues with on line security certificates. I had brought
this to the attention of Walthers but it has taken some
time to get them to resolve the issue. While clicking
through the error messages coming from Google Chrome,
Firefox and IE would not cause any issues on your
devices, it was a real PITA! As of yesterday this
finally addressed the issues and they seem to have fixed
them.

FEDEX SHIPPING DEBACLE CONTINUES
As soon as we are
caught up, Fedex has again created a mess with the
improper routing of trailers coming to Greenville.
For those of you with orders from over the weekend up
until Monday 12/09/19 6am, the shipment with your order
in it was routed in correctly on Tuesday to Edision NJ.
It is currently on it way down to Charlotte. Expected
arrival was yesterday, Wednesday, however we most likely
will not see this group of products to complete you
order until Friday afternoon at the earliest!
Orders from Monday 6am until Tuesday 6am seem to be
tracking correctly and we expect, at this point, to
receive this group of orders around noon today but that
is not guaranteed.
BRH has been in business for almost 16 years now and we
have never had this many issues with Fedex before. What
a mess!
12/10/19 10am
As of this update all 'lost'
packages have been received and all customer orders have
been shipped.
Currently, Fedex is about one day behind the normal
shipping schedule as of this update.

As of this news update I will be picking up
what is available from the list of missing /

9am. I will be working as fast as I can to
process the orders for shipment through Monday
and Tuesday. Hopefully, there will be no more
issues from Fedex.
