Amazon is actively working on approaches which we are hopeful will resolve the delivery issues and meet UMBC's needs.  We will be monitoring their efforts closely and expect to have a further update soon.</span><br><br><span>We are fully aware that the temporary suspension of Amazon is a challenge for our campus community.  We also recognize that it was a major factor in getting the attention of their senior leadership.  If you need any assistance to find items from other suppliers, please reach out to us.</span><br><br><span>Elizabeth Moss</span><br><span>Executive Director, Procurement &amp; Strategic Sourcing</span></div>
