Oh what a bummer!! This must be why I haven’t received the order I placed on June 16th. I was really hoping to have this by tomorrow as a suprise for my husbands birthday. He has wanted one for soo long! Will I get a notification when it does ship?

Yesterday I made some changes to the back end of the DIY Packraft shop to make payments easier for people outside the US. The most noticeable change is that now prices can be displayed in your local currency, and […]

This is just a quick update to announce that the TIZIP 50 cm SuperSeal airtight zippers are back in stock after a factory delay threw off the timing of my resupply, so they were listed as “backordered” for a […]
