Over the last couple of months the US Postal Service has changed their shipping rules for going to the EU. USPS First Class is now non-compliant with EU Customs standards for everything other than priority mail.

Because of this I am changing shipping to use a 3rd party service (Pirate Ship – cute name and Asendia USA) that is an international shipper. This adds a considerable amount of labor on my side for the orders, but should result in cheaper shipping and customs compliant shipping to you and will arrive faster (10-14 days is the guidance they give)

Sorry in advance of any delayed parcels that are returned, ANY package that comes back to me will be re-shipped out at my cost on the new process ASAP.

All the orders that came in while I was on my short vacation have shipped today! I also came back to a change in USPS shipping rules that may end up saviung International customers some shipping costs coming up (tryign to understand the cost structure first). But this could/should see a savings (even if its more work on my end)

All orders from 8/4-8/9/26 will be delayed shipping until the 10th due to a small summer break I am taking. Sorry for the delay!

This site was made by me in a rush back in 2021 when I designed a solution for a action camera lens protector that no one else had made. In the 5.5 years since then the site had aged and was really… blah. So I spent the last bit redesigning and testing a massive refresh on the UI. More changes are going to come, but I wanted to refresh the look and feel and will be updating the products, instructions, etc… over the coming week as well. Enjoy the new streamlined look and feel!

As I’ve been offering cheaper shipping options for the US and International customers, I ran into some snags with some post offices returning the packages to me and I had to re-send them as the expensive shipping. So I pulled the cheap shipping for a while as I tested a new mailer style and I think its working better now. So I’ve re-listed the cheaper no-tracking shipping options in the system!

These packages are right at the edge of what cheap 1st class shipping will allow so its a knife edge to keep them in compliance.

I am adding some new shipping options to save costs, but with the impact of no parcel tracking. I’ve had others ask for special low cost shipping options that may be slower and lack tracking info for cheaper International orders. This is under half the price of the normal shipping, but without tracking I wont be able support missing orders if they don’t make it, and they may take longer. If you order that option you will be accepting that terms and conditions.
