I really hate being the bearer of bad news.
Please don't hate or kill the messenger.

Idaho Governor Little ordered all "Non-Essential" businesses to close for 21 days, effective today, Wednesday, March 25, 2020.​

Since manufacturing is not an "essential business" (except for the employees to continue to pay for housing, food, utilities, etc.) yon can expect at least a 21 day delay (Not Buck's fault) on any custom shop order, and recently sent in for SPA service you may have. :(

May as well postpone sending anything in for an SPA treatment for at least 21 days/3 weeks. :(

PLEASE REFER TO POST 20

I think the only "essential" manufacturing is food and medical related, such as medications, bottles/jars and lids and caps for such.
I don't know if Buck makes scalpels and other operating room necessities, or if they do, if that will be enough to keep them open.

I know farms, slaughter houses, and dairies don't have to shut down, since they are food related.

I dunno about the liquor stores. Maybe if they offer drive-through service?
I know restaurants that don't have drive through or delivery have to close.
(you can still get your McDonald's et-all or Domino's pizza?)

Not that I'm particularly worried about it. Being retired I don't "make" enough to pay taxes on. (yet. They may lower the income threshold. I wouldn't put it past them, anyway.)
 
If wd buy all of the current stock then Buck will have plenty of work replenishing it when they come back!
 
Construction, manufacturing certain areas in WA still considered essential. Home Building etc. So far so good in WA. Some will be affected.

I do too. Was hoping it would be finished and shipped before this happened. Supposed to be sent to my moms house since I work out of town, maybe it's there already? One can hope!
 
It would be much easier to just say "tattoo parlors, hairdressers/barbers, shoeshine shops and gyms will be closed".

A lot cleaner. I could not think of too many businesses that weren't part of the above comprehensive list of essential services.

I heard that in Illinois the pot stores were also considered essential. I guess if you can get whiskey.....

Here in south-central TN, near the Alabama border, it is business as usual - I got a haircut on Tuesday, and went to the Home Depot and Walmart yesterday. I imagine it is coming though.....
