Price reminder 

The Q4 pricing goes into effect on Oct 1st.  If you have been following up your competitive set, no change needed but if not, now is the time to evaluate your pricing.  Our increase is lower than food inflation or what is felt by other roasters, so you will remain extremely competitive.   

Fulfillment Time/Demand

Demand remains extremely high and we expect it to just get larger during Q4.

Currently, we are fulfilling all orders in 3-5 business days and this should hold during the holidays.  Please be sure you include shipping expectations on your website.  We did have a period where we were upstaffing and improving equipment so times were as low as 1 business day.  If your customers expect this is norm, you may need to clarify.
