LOS ANGELES — Fun Factory has announced that they will continue shipping throughout the coronavirus pandemic.
The manufacturer says that its warehouse will be open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. until noon, with workers scheduled on staggered shifts in an effort to reduce social contact, and the rest of its staff working from home.
"The health and safety of our warehouse team is a top priority," a company rep said. "Should the recommendations change, we will adjust and be in touch. And, as always, we offer 16 sick days that are readily available to any employee who needs it."
Fun Factory further noted that because of increased online shopping orders, delivery times may be delayed. Customer service agents will additionally be on hands Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. (PDT) to answer requests via email at customerservice@funfactory.com.
In an act of solidarity, Fun Factory also encouraged consumers to support the industry by shopping online at their favorite retail stores.
"Right now, sex positive retailers need your support," the company said.
"Our industry is built on the passion and ambition of sex positive retailers and their staff. These stores don’t just sell toys, accessories, and books. They also provide free, quality sex education through conversations with the staff and workshops, encouraging exploration, pleasure and fun.
"Now is the time to support your local shops by buying from their online sites."
As many storefronts move towards temporary closures in the interest of public health and safety, Fun Factory says that it will be helping to highlight its retailers and educators online via social channels, as well as in its newsletter.
"As always, we celebrate and support the vibrant Fun Factory community," a rep said. "Stay safe and masturbate!"
