Coronavirus and Package Safety

​FlipFlop Leos is following all of the safety guidelines issued from the CDC and just wanted to add some information that I hope will make you more comfortable about purchasing from FlipFlop Leos during this time.

FlipFlop Leos is a home based business with my shop on my property.  I live on 5 wooded acres, which is a nice amount of "social distancing".  As a senior citizen I have isolated myself totally for the last 4 weeks.  I use Instacart, so the only human-to-human contact I have had is through USPS, UPS, and grocery deliveries, and I do not have any close contact with any of these delivery personnel.  I am telling you this to point out that there is no infection in my home, much less anywhere near me.  Mail is picked up from my home mailbox so I do not even expose myself to the Post Office.

The USPS has issued this statement about the safety of packages that have traveled through the postal system process: 
"​Specifically, according to the World Health Organization, “the likelihood of an infected person contaminating commercial goods is low and the risk of catching the virus that causes COVID-19 from a package that has been moved, travelled, and been exposed to different conditions and temperature is also low.” And according to the CDC, “in general, because of poor survivability of these coronaviruses on surfaces, there is likely very low risk of spread from products or packaging that are shipped over a period of days or weeks at ambient temperatures. Coronaviruses are generally thought to be spread most often by respiratory droplets."

I see numerous Facebook and Instagram posts about gymnasts working out at home and I know all of us are eager to get back to normal.  If you think a new leotard from FlipFlop Leos may help motivate those work outs please feel safe with FlipFlop Leos shipments.
