  1. I think they are talking about the ink that is flowing about the drums up there.
  2. I've upped the allowance and allowed folks to delete attachments, so should be sorted. If it's not, or something becomes an issue due to it, I'll dive back into it.
  3. Yeah, that's not happening. So, would need to put output for another location/warehouse in another country, which also entails all the laws, legalities, and taxes that go along with that as well. Well, yes, I suppose it COULD make shipping cheaper, it certainly wouldn't be viable for the outlay in funds and resources to do so. Bit of a cut the nose to spite the face situation. And shipping containers, well, those are no longer viable much either these days for most folks. Used to be, you could get a 20' container shipped filled to the brim for about $4k. It got up to about $28k-30k at its highest here this last year. It's now down to much more manageable levels, but easily double to triple original costs, not to mention three to six times the amount of time for it to ship and process. Then there are the fun bits of port backups, lack of rail space/availability on the train tracks, and the one I absolutely love, them trying to find a driver to truck it the distance. We literally had a container sit in port in Savanah just three hours away, for over a month, because they couldn't get enough drivers in there to move all the containers, and they certainly weren't about to let us drive down there in a convoy and unload a container and truck it back with us (believe me, I asked). Again, not having a dig, just this is the sort of stuff sort of randomly thrown out there of 'well this could be done, or you should just open up a business in another country, or …'. Well yes, if things were easy and cheap, we would most certainly do those things. Or there is the, ' You should work with another company, have your product housed locally ...'. Well, yes, that also COULD be done, but there are legalities that go into it (should someone not follow through, or sort things properly, all sorts of hardships to sort stuff in that manner). Then, of course, there are flooring fees, handling fees, etc. - think Amazon, and then look at why they make stupid amounts of money - usually, because they are shipping, handling, flooring everything for businesses that neither have the ability or want, to deal with warehouses and employees ... and taking a rather nice chunk of the backside of everything. Frankly, no, we're not setting up shop in another country. Companies getting together and lumping shipping/sales … that's called retail and distribution, already do that. Now, should someone figure out the Portal Gun … I'm all about it, cake or no cake. So, our options, until something more viable comes along, and we do actively seek them out, or negotiate for better rates (Kelly is a pitbull when it comes to that), it's the postal system as it stands, as completely inefficient and bumbling that it has become over the last few years, particularly with the pandemic.
  4. Show me an alternative, affordable option and we'll consider it. We don't upcharge anything. We ship in multiple ways, in the cheapest manner possible, and short of shipping it by pigeon, which likely wouldn't be any cheaper, and folks would just complain when it stopped off wherever the birdseed was anyhow, there aren't many options. The postal system alone has raised the price multiple times in the last couple of years and on top of it now, are adding fuel surcharges. I would happily charge after alternative, cheaper methods would they be viable. Not having a dig at you in the least, just want to be clear about that.
  5. Just tried it on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge (haven't installed or tried Opera as of yet) and they are all pulling up fine for me. Perhaps clear your cache?
  6. Basically when folks cut old jeans into shorts. jorts /jôrts/ INFORMAL•NORTH AMERICAN shorts made of denim fabric. "turn all your jeans into jorts
  7. When you sign back in, click on the loyalty bar in the bottom right there and it'll give you an option to cash in your points for a coupon. It'll then give you a coupon code which then you enter into the cart before checkout and it will deduct the amount that it was good for.
  8. Yep sold out. And no, preparation was just fine, inventory was just limited and a lot of people ordered them.
  9. We place products in our store one month after they've been released to distributors/retailers in order to give them the first crack. Look for it around Black Friday in our store.
  10. Ugh, that's not good. Lemme see if I can figure out what's going on.
  11. Please don't go necro'ing several-years-old threads.
  12. USPS situation apparently. Hopefully temporary. https://about.usps.com/newsroom/service-alerts/international/welcome.htm
