Lottery Info
There will be lottery emails going out this Friday for Black (Vader) and Blue Isogrip pens. I have some colourful variants planned for next week but more on that later. Watch for the passwords...timing is about right to avoid the US tariff nonsense as well. About that...
Presale Info
I have never sold via presale but this steely eyed rocket man came up with a fantastic method of 'timed presales'.
Basically the store will open for a short duration (1min or the like) and ANYONE can purchase a pen. There will be more details out on this but I think its a workable solution for people to purchase the pens they want and not swamp my production with 1000's of orders.
Lots of kinks to work out for my US customers (and your ever changing tariff requirements) but I think I have solutions in mind for most things. I will likely start with the most popular pens (Frags and satin / nebula finishes) to test the waters. As always I will do my best to keep things fair and try my best to cater to those who have been waiting the longest in the lottery.
US Tariff Info
By the time you are reading this the information is probably out of date but right now CUSMA is still protecting my products for US import. A blanket 10% did apply a few days back but I believe its suspended for the next (insert favorite number here) days
The 50% tariff was in effect for a few days but did not apply to my specific export category. That has also now been suspended for...(insert speed of unladen swallow here) days.
Everyone shipping outside of the US is unaffected.
Fun Stuff
I do a podcast with my friend Jamie every week where we talk shop and small business fire storms...or just rant about what is currently tickling our brains. Check it out here if that's up your alley. We also sell silly shirts to fund our weekly talks.
