I'm still here

Hi Everyone, Thanks for your continued support.

I can’t really explain how much you mean to me.

An update on the situation is in order: There is still no shipping to the U.S.

As of late August, ALL local postal services and businesses have suspended shipping to the U.S., considering that there doesn’t seem to be a way to collect the necessary tariff on packages entering the U.S.

This includes DHL, FedEx, UPS, and the others, as well as the privatized National Postal Service in Portugal known as CTT.

When/If it is again possible to ship to the US again, I will be happy to resume regular shipments, and help you with your special events, and productions. Meanwhile, there are LOTS of masks already in the US.
We knew about six months ago this was going to start, but not how it would be implemented.
Fortunately, I was able to send A LOT of masks to the US, and we can stay open there shipping my original work from my US assistant.

In addition, my assistant there, Janet, has learned a lot of mask making techniques over the last decade of our friendship. She’s happy to assist with your special project while we wait to see what will happen with the tariffs. The courts have said the ieepa is not valid, but have upheld a sort of stay, so til that’s resolved, I’m not aware of any company or service to send things to the US.

My deepest apologies if this news disrupts your plans. I will try to stay in touch. Meanwhile please reach out to me by email, instagram, or on my Etsy. If you’re in the US, please use my US Etsy. If you’re anywhere else, please use my Etsy PT link, or we can work things out another way.

Thanks again for your continued support.

Sincerely,

C
