If you are here in Northern VA, you'll know that we are in the midst of a very rainy day. If you happened to be in our warehouse this morning, prepping for your box deliveries, you would have grabbed a few of these handy covers to put over the boxes for days just like today. Sometimes our clients are not home when we deliver their orders to them. And sometimes it rains. Client experiences matter. We wouldn't have it any other way.

Rainy day, boxes delivered!
