In September 2018, Badger Corp. shipped a large quantity of merchandise to a third-party warehouse for storage.
The merchandise is to be shipped to customers in October 2018. Normally, Badger Corp. ships merchandise directly to its customers, but because of pending labour problems at Badger's facility the goods were shipped to the third-party warehouse.
