Our team will be taking a much needed holiday break at the end of the year. Please keep the following dates in mind when placing your orders before the holiday. The online store will remain open during the break, but some orders may not ship until we return, depending on inventory available for fulfillment. Response to emails may be a bit delayed during this time as well, so we appreciate your patience in advance.
Orders placed on or before 12/17/24 will ship on or before 12/22/24.
Orders placed on or after 12/18/24 will begin shipping 1/5/25.
