Hi friends, how goes it?
As you know, things are going to look a bit different around here this year, with me chasing another dream simultaneously to keeping LoobyLou going. Not so different it’s dramatic, mainly for me. You can still order whatever you want online, stocks will show accurate, and orders will be sent accordingly. The biggest change is possibly some wholesale lead times, in that we’ve have ridiculously quick lead times all these years for product made by hand, and it’s really burnt me out. Too quick arguably, and it can’t continue.
That being said, if in stock orders will still be packed as they come in, there just may be occasions you have to wait longer. I’ll be living between Australia and Nz this year, and have decided to not have the pressure of regular staff, rather opting for casuals to pack orders as they come in. When I’m in Newcastle, I’ll make like an absolute machine, always endeavouring to have shelves left as full as possible.
This is your final warning for custom and any larger wholesale orders you may have been putting off. My first stint is mid March or thereabouts, so the last minute urgent orders can no longer be accommodated.
