Operations Update:
New York Office Closure
Our New York office is currently closed due to the high Covid case count in NY. It will remain closed to in-person visits until at least the 16th February.
CBMA Letters in Globe –Allocations where you are not the primary CBMA holder.
Over the New Year, we updated all of the letters we received for 2022 from our customers for their 2022 allocations. However, if another of Elenteny’s customers wants to use the CBMA allocation from the primary CBMA allocation holder, they MUST have the primary CBMA holder send us an authorization letter to cover the 2022 period.
The 2021 authorization letters for 2021 allocations, where our customers share the CBMA for their allocations, are no longer valid.
