How did you get orange??

 

[Pat S]

Just curious if anyone in the US has received their order in the past few weeks. With all the tariff changes and DHL saying they will not deliver certain items to consumers starting today, I’m curious how this is impacting receipt of orders from the UK.
I ordered it back in January and it was scheduled to ship at the beginning of April but it’s still in process.

Local is 3-4x the cost for a M2M suit. No thanks
