Weekend Round Up!

Plied Knowledge: The week that was…

At the warehouse:

• Portland spent the begining of the week dealing with the fallout of a weekend of snow followed by a massive ice storm and Twisted was no different. To everyone whose orders were delayed, thank you for your patience and understanding!
