Did you try
www.ahh.biz ? That's where we got our material, it was shipped and received in a few days. (Top of Google ad list.)
I wouldn't castigate FIRST too much over this issue. You knew from Jan 7 what was required for bumpers. I am reminded of the saying that pops up on cubicles from time to time: "Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part."
