So the workshop will be closed next week, September 15th-19th. As always, the website remains open and any orders placed will be dealt with when we get back on the 22nd. As far as outstanding orders go, all UK and RoW orders will go in the post tomorrow. US and EU orders have been processed, but because they’re handled differently, will have to wait until we get back to be shipped (sorry if you’re one of those waiting on something from us).<\/p>\n
