Important Shipping Update: Warehouse Transition
Unfortunately, the warehouse we've partnered with for years has decided to close its doors. This means we're in the middle of an exciting, but challenging, transition!
Right now, all of our inventory is in transit to our new warehouse facility. This large-scale move affects items across the board Some posters, guides, and other materials will continue to ship during this transition.
We understand the delay is frustrating, and we sincerely appreciate your patience. We are working hard to set up our new operations and expect to be shipping materials again around November 10th.
Thank you for bearing with us during this difficult transition. We'll post another update if this date changes.
