Bad news everyone!

by sam kalensky
It's with much disappointment & a pretty heavy heart that I've decided to close international shipping for both my Etsy and Samkalensky.com shops today & for the foreseeable future: due to the removal of "De minimis" + US Tariffs taking place at the end of the month. – Hopefully its just temporary & I can open up again soon? But for the moment I've decided it would be best to stick to setting my Shipping options to local / Canada only.

(yes, sadly the des minimis removal affects small packages & thus Patreon gifts too. (Fees can be from $80-$200 for even small packages/items.) • More about what this means for small businesses here: https://globalnews.ca/news/11313050/donald-trump-de-minimis-exemption-canadian-businesses/ 

To my long time Patrons please hang tight: I'm hoping that this blows over by the time the next club packages are supposed to ship out? – Otherwise i'll be keeping track of what i owe everyone and will make up for it as soon as I'm able to again. – If ya'll have suggestions on something to make up for the lack of packages in the meantime, i'm all ears too!! always trying to think of ways to make patreon more fun. :)

Thank you for your understanding and patience as usual! we'll be back to our usual monster posts later this week - i'll keep drawing as long as i am able to.
