Update for US customers
As you are likely aware, the United States has suspended the $800 de minimus threshold on incoming shipments. In addition, the US government has mandated that all tariffs and duties be collected by vendors before a US-bound package can enter the country. As a result, I had suspended all orders from the United States.
Shipping companies here in Canada have finally put systems in place to start managing the tariff collection process, and as of this week (week of October 5), I should be resuming orders from the US.

Canada Post Strike
Canada Post has once again walked off the job, leaving us mail-order businesses in the lurch. Worse this time is that it was a snap decision leaving no time for us to find workarounds. As such there area small number of orders that are stuck waiting for the strike to resolve.
As my next order window will close in time to catch pre-orders for 1/48 Luftwaffe Modelling Workshop and its November 5 release date in Japan, I’m crossing my fingers this latest stoppage will be resolved by then.
