Online Store Closing for One Month

[Karda]

Just to make everyone aware......

When Auntie Yangdu goes to Nepal on September 16 - approx. October 16, the Online store will be effectively shut down and orders from the store will not be able to be filled until her return.

From the Online store Main Page :

I am Excited!

In three weeks I will be on my way to my beautiful Nepal to visit the shop and the Kamis. I will leave the US on 16 th September and return in mid-October.

You all need to know that, while I am in Nepal, I cannot take your orders or ship anything to you. The HI store will be closed for the month I am gone. Your orders, while I am in Nepal, will have to wait for my return to get filled. But I promise that, when I return, your orders will have a priority.

I can hardly wait to meet the new Kamis and to see what they are working on for your collections. I will post the events of the entire month when I return. If you need something now, order quickly in the next week or two, so I have the time to ship it to you.

It'd be nice if it was a vacation......
She's going to try to make time for visiting family and such, but this is a business trip really.

I can't wait to see the pictures she brings back I would love to go see that part of the world one day.

The website is basically an archive. it will probably never have everything that has been produced.
Many of the items you see here on the forum arent actually part of the regular product lineup.
A good portion of what is here at the forum are custom, one off or trial run items.
Some things may be added, like the farm knife. But in order to make the website, the item has to be popular and sold regularly.

So she's back ?

Thanks, Karda.

I ordered my first khukuri, and I ordered it a few days after she started her travels. :dispirited:

One of the few times where procastination didn't pay off.
