The short of it is - we ran the 50ALL 50% off sale for a week and we are 10 days behind -- so we will be working over time to get as many orders as we can out before Thanksgiving. Make sure you are signed up for the newsletter and you will get a special Turkey Day Treat. [emoji12]
Lots of people have been asking "Why" -- so I will leave it here. The time is right -- there's a constellation of issues I have to consider.
I don't know where to begin.
Katy. You all know she basically ran Nicoticket. When Katy left for a great job in the legal field it was a devastating loss for Nicoticket. Then, a couple weeks ago I lost Josh -- my wholesale guy, to a great job in the IT field (more the direction he wants to go). He was a tough loss because he was the person on the team that understood our inventory system. Beau is loyal -- he is what's left of the people who really made up the business side of Nicoticket. I am fortunate that Beau is sticking with me this long as he is because all of the above left for one reason, really -- there's no future in the vape industry.
My bottler (look on any bottle) is going out of business. I was their primary source of income and they needed 5 of me to make it viable.
I look at the last 40,000 bottles and get nostalgic -- I've eat, slept, and breathed (literally) Nicoticket for the last 3+ years. I've experienced a wide range of feelings about closing -- everything from anger (regarding the FDA in particular), to nights and nights of praying about what the right thing to do, was. After 100s of thousands of bottles I think we held up our end of the basic business bargain -- we provided value and created a vibrant community that will never die. I'm proud of the work we did -- I am especially proud that you'd have to dig really deep into the internet to find a "customer service issue" that wasn't addressed or in some way rectified. Every broken bottle. Every missing package [emoji403] (thank you USPS, even if you did lose a few) We did out best to make up for all of that and more -- every email we received when this bottle or that didn't live up to expectations-- helping everyone from total noobs to hardcore competition Vapers and everything in between -- we did it proper and we managed not to kill anyone faster than a cigarette.
I started Nicoticket when I was just out of Bellevue University with a Masters Degree in Clinical Counseling -- Nicoticket took off so fast I barely got the opportunity to use my degree -- truthfully, looking forward to working with people that have hardcore issues with substance abuse and dependence.
