When and how will my order ship? |
We typically use FedEx Express, UPS, or the US Postal Service to ship orders. We aim to get orders that are placed before 8am out the same day, but there are times when it take an extra day or two to get all the products gathered, packed, and shipped out. We send the tracking number to the email address you used at checkout as soon as your order ships.

Do you ship outside of the US? |
Yes, we do! If you find that shipping appears to be beyond the normal pricing expectation, please contact us and let us know what you're interested in, and your shipping address. While we rely on our website program to calculate most shipping costs, every once in a while there's a need for us to step in. We want you to have access to our collection of incredible products, no matter where in the world you are!
International shipments are sometimes sent Global Post Economy International which is a service that ships through USPS, but we also ship through other services such as FedEx. We base our carrier selection on many factors including weight, product value, and package dimensions.
All International shipments are processed through Los Angeles, CA and tracking information is often not updated, even though the package may continue to move towards its destination. Please note that it will be your responsibility to pay any import taxes, fees, etc. generated by the destination country.
For expedited shipping on international orders, please contact us prior to placing your order. We are happy to help find a shipping method that best meets your needs.

The website says there's a problem with my credit card. Why is that happening? |
Sometimes, orders are not processed by our system because the billing information for the credit card being used is not entered correctly. If that information doesn’t exactly match to the information on file at the bank, then our system will reject the order. Here is what the shipping screen looks like during checkout:
If shipping options are not showing up, select the destination state (in this example, we chose Washington):

After entering the shipping information, the next screen looks like this:

See that little blue checkmark? You must uncheck that box that says “my billing address is the same as my shipping address” and then enter the billing address associated with your card.
That should solve the problem and you’ll be good to go! If it doesn't, feel free to reach out to us - either via email or phone.

What happened to the brick & mortar shop? |
We moved our location to 8041 S. 180th St, Kent, WA, 98032 where we have a showroom and lounge/classroom. There, you can see many of the items we sell.
Customers place orders online (either using their own phone/device or the computer that is located in the room), and select curbside pickup at checkout. Let us know that the order is placed and we can gather your items from our warehouse while you wait.
Traditional curbside orders usually take about one business day for us to prepare. All the details about curbside pickup will be included with the email notification that lets you know your order is ready. Pickup hours are Monday - Friday, 8am - 3pm.
