A quick note on pricing: From April 1st 2026, I’ll be introducing updated prices across all items and orders placed and received after this date. As a small business, rising costs in materials, supplier pricing, and shipping mean a small adjustment is necessary to continue delivering the quality and reliability you expect. This change allows me to keep maintaining high standards and improving my products and service. Thank you so much for your continued support — it truly means a lot.
