Alas... americans.... we will see you on the flipside. I'm sorry it's probably been pretty disheartening but until we can figure out what's what (and finally sit down to sort it out) we can't ship to you.
We still have a digital store: windywallflower.itch.io

Graphic notice that says: NOTICE ON US SHIPPING. We are currently still working on solutions to continue shipping to american customers. Our shop set up right now doesn't allow for us to collect duty fees (yet). But we hop to sort this out soon, we thank you for your patience and hope to have this sorted ASAP. It has been really stressful..

Things have been a bit of a logistics nightmare lately BUT we are progressing. A big bunch of Canadian & International orders from the Theropod Kickstarter should be going out tomorrow if all goes well. We're still waiting on the charms & some of the new stickers which should be arriving tomorrow

MTL's transit system is also pushing back and is on strike currently. Stop fucking licking boots of the shitbags higher up. Stand with blue collar workers. They're fighting to keep things CHEAP and FAIR for EVERYONE around them. Come on.

Windy & Wallflower @windywallflower.bsky.social · 7d

Rain or shine our posties are out there making sure you get this shit on time. Sorry do you remember the SPEED at which these guys undid the ENTIRE backlog the last time they were on strike? DURING THE HOLIDAYS. These workers deserve everything they're demanding.

They are always the CHEAPEST and MOST RELIABLE SHIPPING OPTION IN CANADA. I CANNOTTT stress this enough.

Over the course of over 10 years running both W&W and before this we've lost a grand total of maybe 10? packages? out of thOUSANDS.

ALL of our small books, pins, stickers, patches, tiny items that fit into 'big parcel letter mail' with STAMPS will actually start to cost YOU all sHIPPING. if we're forced to switch away from Canpost.

We can ONLY offer free shipping across Canada BECAUSE of Canada Post's exceptions.

i’m not on threads but i did come across these posts about the Canada Post strike from someone on there that i felt worth sharing… mostly because i wanted to make a similar thread on this but haven’t had a chance to do the price comparisons. 1/

God it's been such a fucking trial all year!!

Windy & Wallflower @windywallflower.bsky.social · 12d

CUPW deserve the demands theyre putting forward. Canada Post refuses to even try to cooperate. This isn't a for-profit business this is a national right to postal services. the canpost company would prefer to cut most rural postal services than try to negotiate is that really fair? I don't think so.
