Massive Crystal Shop Update!

I've listed over 100 new crystals in my shop and now the shop is fully stocked! Along with altar supplies, some handmade jewelry, and even journals and prints.

To thank you all for your support and patience while we get the shop up and running again, I'm doing a little promotion - the coupon code THRIVE10 gives you 10% off at checkout and the first 20 people who use the code get a little extra crystal gift!

US customers: the tariff is collected for you at checkout and prepaid so you don’t need to worry about it. We take care of it for you.

EU customers: since we are within the EU your cost at checkout is the final cost, all taxes are included.

This weekend (as in, before Monday, August 10th) is the last time to order from the shop before I need to drastically update my shipping policies. My shop offers handmade jewelry, crystals, and witchy supplies/other home decor, and I am based in Austria.

Two things have happened:

Due to last year's US tariffs causing a months-long shipping hault in Austria, I didn't ship enough packages, and have now lost my contract with the Austrian Post. This means my costs to ship to the US have almost doubled.

Due to a new EU law, I would now need to pay for 27 different packaging licenses and legal representitives to continue shipping to all 27 EU countries. My shop is not even close to being financially recovered from last year's mess, and I simply do not have the thousands of euros to do this.

What's going to change after Monday:

Shipping prices across the board will need to be adjusted, but US & Canada shipping will increase the most. It will most likely now start at around $22 per package, but this isn't yet concrete. I still need to calculate some things. Of course I'm going to do my best to keep it as low as possible. However, with this increase, I think I can offer free shipping on bigger orders (most likely around $300 and up), which will also apply to open box orders. So if you slowly order things throughout the year and wait until it adds up to $300 to ship everything together, I may be able to offer free shipping. Again, I need to go over all the numbers and make sure this is feasable, but I think I can figure out some kind of balance.

I will need to pause shipping to most EU countries. Austria and Germany are safe for sure (I don't need that license for Austria since I my shop is based here, and I already have the one for Germany). I will most likely go through some data and see which other EU countries I have had the most sales to and see if it's affordable to get the packing license for them as well. I really hate to do that, but I have a little hope that due to the massive backlash they will adjust this law eventually. We just have to wait and see.

So, long story short, if there's something from the shop you've had your eye on and want to order, now's your chance before the above mentioned changes go into effect.

I'm really sorry I have to keep coming on here and dumping bad news on all of you. And I am really, really sorry to my fellow artists and small shop owers whose livelihoods are now being threatened by all of this.
