We've been waiting weeks for an order of N95 masks, alcohol wipes, and hand sanitizer ...

Just been informed that the order was canceled because these items are restricted from export ... from China.

But remember, trade wars are a good thing!

... many weeks ago, and early tracking showed them stuck in Hong Kong.

Coincidentally, tracking finally updated this morning that they're going through customs in Los Angeles. I'm curious if there will be a snag there.

(I bought similar masks in the meantime from a supplier in the USA. Those arrived fast.)

That is far better than a cotton bandana.

I bought three of them online from a vendor here in the USA.

You get free shipping (USA only I guess?) if you spend $50. I found a 15% off coupon to use at

which is = 5XL8-YM03

I received them in a few days via Priority Mail.

You might consider these instead.

Best of luck finding what you need.
