It’s worth pointing out that some of us are rather challenged when it comes to vision. It’s just plain harder for me to see the light text, and I doubt I’m the only one.
Nothing is stopping them, and yet the vast majority of people don’t do it. And why should they? It just adds additional keystrokes.
I got an email from them the other day saying they had “arrived”. When I typed my zip code in, (11216) I also got a “not available”.
Eh, who needs ’em.
according to their website they do not deliver to any of 11216 nor 11213. They deliver to parts of 11225 and 11231
