big things

We will have a new payment system up and running soon on our web site and at our Red Hook store.

A group based in Des Moines breaking out into a nation-wide cashless payments system with extremely low interchange fees, dwolla.com
That is what their logo "might" look like. They are so new, it's not quite hammered out yet.

These guys have a clean and simple model in place: do it simple, do it cheaper.

Once we get the system integrated, we'll be offering an initial 2% discount on all purchases made with Dwolla. Why bother with sketchy convoluted "Rewards" programs when you can enjoy the transparency and simplicity of taking your savings NOW.

We'll still have PayPal (Visa / MC /AmEx) as a normal payment option. Dwolla is for those who want to save a few percent.


Other news: We'll also be opening our web store to International customers soon by adding a "landed cost" shipping service.

What this means is customers in over 200 countries will, in a single click, be able to instantly see the Landed Cost (shipping / taxes / customs / duties) of items - right there inside our shopping cart.

Pay once. Wait for the items to arrive - usually within a week: Simple, no hassle international shipping.

Yes indeed. All coming soon.

Stay tuned for more tricky goodness.
