Does anyone know if Kondos in Ely is still there? We ordered some packs two and a half weeks ago and have been trying to contact them to make sure the products were in stock. We haven't gotten a confirmation of them being sent and they aren't replying to emails or phone calls. We need to order them from somewhere else soon if they are no longer there. The website and Facebook page still seem to be active.

I am sure they are still in business they make all the products for the BWJ as well. I agree a little unsettling they haven’t been in contact though.

I know it says allow 3 weeks for delivery so tomorrow or Monday would be it
I like the products we've gotten in the past and I'm trying to support local businesses, but a little communication goes a long way to keeping customers happy. Kondos if you are listening, please answer your phone messages or emails.

Your statement that Kondos makes all the products for BWJ was true up though the 2019 season. Since then Cooke Custom Sewing (CCS) has been making 7 different packs and the 10 x 12 Tarp that the BWJ magazine /catalog resells.

Hi Dan, I checked your site too, but we were looking for 10 liter compression bags with quick release connectors. The one we already have from Kondos is exactly what we were looking for. I hope they come soon. I guess my son who's staying here can overnight them to us if they come after we leave. By the way, it might be a product you could consider making. They are great for clothes, especially fleece so you can squish them down and fit them in better.

I just received an email reply from them today. Kondos is still around. Sounds like they are struggling to keep up with demand.

Yeah, we're picking them up there hopefully. They are super busy and I think having trouble hiring people like the rest of the small businesses.
