Important Update Regarding Shipping & PPWR/EPR (August 31st, 2026)

Hi, everyone! 

Our website was closed for maintenance but it's back now. But checkout will temporarily be unavailable for   ̶E̶U̶ all customers.

Earlier this month, the EU’s new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) began to apply across the European Union. The regulation introduces new requirements around packaging compliance, documentation, reporting and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).

This affects many small businesses shipping products to customers across the EU. It means additional registration and compliance requirements. Small or independent businesses are at risk of enforcement action or penalties from national authorities if they do not meet the applicable requirements.

Over the past few weeks, we have been working very hard to catch up on our backlog, and we’ve already been able to ship a large number of outstanding orders.

At the same time, we’ve started working behind the scenes to put the necessary requirements in place.

However, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily pause shipping to ALL countries while we arrange the necessary documentation, reporting and registrations.

You can find stories from other small businesses who are facing the same challenges and sharing their experiences here

We know that some of you are still waiting for your orders and pre-orders, and we understand how disappointing this news will be. We are very sorry for the additional delay :( and truly appreciate your patience and understanding.

Realistically, it may take up to 8 weeks to get everything in place, such as registrations and compliance documentation, before we can resume shipping to EU countries. 

We are doing everything we can to work through the requirements properly and to resume EU shipping as soon as possible!

Thank you so much for your patience, understanding and continued support! It genuinely means a lot to us.

We will share more information once we gathered the required documentations and arranged the registrations.
