It's not that we are not appreciative of what US soldiers do for our country. Its the mail service. We had a total of four orders last year that took over 30 days to arrive at their destinations. We get really pissed off emails demanding to know why they haven't received there costumes. I don't know why it takes so long. They think it was somehow a mistake on our end when the packages always turn up very very late. We ship the day after payment is made. This year we made an exception to a man who begged for us to send him a mask. Sure enough three weeks later emails demanding to know where the item was. It turns out it was sitting at his base for 20 days. So now we will ship to any family members address you want and they can in turn ship it on to you. Works much better this way. They know we ship on time every time.
