Chain Maille to begin shipping soon

February 24, 2020 by Stephanie Chan Leave a Comment

We cannot begin to express the overwhelming response we had to the Pre-cut EVA Foam Chain Maille. Thank you for your enthusiasm and support!

It has come to our attention that the webstore service system has sent a notification that product is ready. Unfortunately, this message was sent in error. That is entirely our fault and we apologize for the confusion this may have caused you. Your interest in the chain maille was so overwhelming that we were taken so aback we had to shut down pre-orders so we can scale up our production and catch up with the demand. 

Please understand that Foam Armory is only two people. We did not expect this to take off as much as it did. We still have to juggle our previous commitments like day jobs and our families. That does not mean that we are not committed to our customers, but it did mean we have to make a few changes and juggle our lives differently so we can dedicate more time to bringing chain maille to you.

That being said, we will be shipping out chain maille as soon as it becomes available. We will begin shipping the chain maille comes off the presses starting today. Due to the high numbers of chain maille ordered, we expect the process to take a few weeks to complete. Once all pre-orders are filled, we can build our stock levels to the point where we will re-open the webstore. And then, finally, we will get back to our favourite activity: making!

Again, we truly appreciate your support, patience. Thank you for being early adopters and joining us on this crazy ride!

Take care,

Ben and Stephanie
