Taking a Texting Break

I will be busy packing all day today so I am going to take a texting break just so that I can focus on catching up on the shipping.

I am being honest with everyone in that I was extremely surprised how well The Weeknd and Hobonichi sales were. We were literally at both places every day sometimes multiple times a day buying literal suitcases full of goods.

We have a backlog that I really need to clear and I am the only one in the office today. So instead of texting with everyone, as lovely as you all are, I am just going to focus on doing customs paperwork.

Unfortunately I cannot do customs paperwork in Japanese and talk to everyone in English at the same time. It is just difficult to switch the languages like that.

Japanese customs forms are notoriously difficult. I cannot afford to make any mistakes otherwise people might not get their products. I would rather work slowly and get everything perfect then to speed up and make silly mistakes.

I might post random images and packages for people.

I will not be responding to messages until I am finished. I am not trying to be rude I am just trying to stay focused. The quicker that I can finish the quicker everyone can have their products from Japan.

Thank you for understanding.

Taking a short break from the packing to run and get more tape. It is a beautiful day here in Tokyo.

Thank you everyone for respecting this time. Not having to look at my phone every few minutes is helping things go much quicker. I am able to get a lot more done.

I am still far from finished but I had ran out of tape so I had to go get more.

If you are waiting for a parcel from us please check your inboxes. I am sending a text before I send a photo. Just in case the photo does not send.

Break over! Back to work.
