Out of Stock? Find out why...
You may have noticed that we are out of stock on a lot of items. We want to apologize that we are unable to maintain stock levels right now. But we wanted to let you guys know what's going on.
First, we are moving! Most of my production was done in the basement garage of our house. The biggest issue with this is climate control and the challenges that presented. The new house we are closing on at the end of July has a dedicated Choppy Seas space that is heated and cooled. I can't explain how excited I am to be in a climate-controlled space. This is huge for us when so many of our recipes depend on temperature. With that being said, stock levels will remain low through the end of July as most of my raw ingredients and equipment are packed up.
Second is, of course, COVID-19. A lot of raw material is still back-ordered because of the virus. It is almost impossible to find plastic bottles right now. Some of our items are out of stock because I am currently unable to source the ingredients that I need. Because we utilize print-on-demand for our apparel, we won't run out of "stock" per se but closures have put a stress on the supply chain as orders are funneled through one or two printers. Right now, we are working with a 10-15 business day production time before apparel even ships.
With all that said, please continue to check the site to see what is available. And thank you to everyone who still wants to support us. And a huge thank you to those who purchase apparel and have the patience to wait out the extended production times.
Please stick with us over the next couple of weeks as we close on our home and then get moved into the new house. As soon as we get everything settled, I will be able to work on producing as much as is available to me. Make sure to keep an eye on our social media accounts and emails - we will keep you updated on when we are back up and running!
