"We tried to explain over and over again that it's because of the marching mammoths!" said Mao Hongyun, a staffer in charge of the company's e-commerce sales,"Those elephants were spotted around Hongta District, where our farmlands are located, several days ago. However, some of the customers clearly didn't buy it, saying that the reason was "absurd," with hundreds of complaints pouring in. The e-commerce platform has compensated customers for the delay and the company recently resumed shipment of orders after the elephants left Yuxi, Kunming and continued heading north. - Global Times
