Good Morning all, and a delayed happy new year! I apologize for the lack of updates in December/January, a lot has happened and there was so much to process that I was unable to take a moment to sit down and write this blog. Let me give some insight as to why.

First, December was hectic! Thank you all for the support and the rush of orders over the Christmas break, we made record sales for a small business like my own and I'm hoping all of you got exactly what you asked for over the break. In the last two weeks of the month, we were able to fill more orders than I thought would of been possible and that's all thanks to all of you!

January was not how we wanted to start the new year. Right after Christmas and leading into New Years Eve, we started to wind down and spend time with family. Right as we lead into the first week of January my fiancé and I caught Covid-19. I myself suffer from RA and autoimmune disease, and we both struggled for a few days but came around after two weeks! Thankfully for us my brother stepped in and helped fill the few orders that came in during that time so that we could stay away from the possible spread of the virus. 

We had to move... again! As many of you know, Eldritch Lair is still a 1-man operation ran out of our home. We had recently moved to a larger house this past August to accommodate the growing store stock (we're not nearly close to needing a warehouse, that's still a long way aways) and unfortunately we received the news mid January that the owner was selling the building; What terrible timing! Thankfully they liked us and offered us another building nearby and offered to let us transition over for February... so here we are!

All's well that ends well; or so they say. We're all moved over and ready to get back into full force and just in time! We have a ton of pre-orders coming into stock over the course of this month, so without any further delay check out our lists below!

All of these orders will be filled in the order of which they were received. We will make another post when we start shipping out these pops in the following weeks.

Changes to existing ETAs

Our distributor continues to experience unprecedented delays at the receiving port for a lot of our product, and after speaking multiple times with my representative on the matter all I can do is ask all of you to remain patient as there doesn't seem to be any relief in the foreseeable future. You can find the most up to date ETA on each product listing in the description. We will always actively update the products to reflect the info given from our distributor. That does not mean the product does not arrive sooner, it just means that if we were to order at that exact moment that's when we could expect it to arrive.

It is a very unfortunate matter as we all want to receive our product but continuously keep getting pushed back, and only ends up costing us more in upkeep expenses in the long run.

Some product has come through to other stores as our distributor receives partial stock of items but they operate in a similar fashion as a first ordered first served, and the line of stores awaiting stock is vastly large; Even though we get our orders in before the general public even knows the pops are coming out, we still get stuck onto a list and have to wait for our turn.

I ask all of you to remain patient as we wait for our stock. I am a small business with an ever shrinking budget due to delays, which is why we have the policies in place that we do. I will always keep doing my best to get the best collectibles into the hands of collectors, as quickly as possible. Thank you all for supporting Eldritch Lair thus far, and I hope to continue serving you for long into the future.

Kind Regards,

Jordan Amaley
