After the rigours of Salute, we’re having a short break at Brigade to take advantage of the two upcoming bank holidays. We’ll be off next week (May 1st to 5th), returning on the 9th after the Coronation bank holiday. The website will remain open, but no orders will be processed until we get back. All orders up to April 23rd* have already been completed, and we’re pretty confident that we can finish anything else we currently have outstanding before we go.<\/p>\n

*UPDATE – we’ve just finished the week with an empty order queue – all orders up to 3pm on Friday 28th April have either already been sent, or will be posted tomorrow. This includes EU orders – they’ve been sent to the shipping hub for distribution. We can safely go on holiday without leaving a backlog behind<\/em> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

We will be starting to add the new releases from Salute to the website next week – you’ll be able to order them immediately and we’ll deal with the orders after the holiday.<\/p>\n
