A quick heads-up that Iron Age will be taking a short shop break from Friday, October 2 through Monday, October 19.
The website will remain open during this time and all in-stock products can still be ordered normally, but shipping and order fulfillment will be paused throughout the break. Orders placed during this period will be packed and shipped once fulfillment resumes on October 19.
Starting Friday, October 2, I’m offering 15% off sitewide for anyone who doesn’t mind waiting a little longer for their order.
Use code FALL-15 at checkout from October 2–19.
I appreciate everyone's patience during the break, and I'm sorry for the added wait on orders placed during this time. The discount is simply a small thank-you for the understanding and continued support.
A Couple of Picks Returning Friday
Also, for anyone interested, a new batch of Ducat Brass guitar picks and the classic 1.5mm solid Carbon Fiber picks will be added back to the site on Friday, October 2 at 12 PM Central.
These are simply another batch of two older Iron Age designs becoming available again, and they'll be included in the same FALL-15 sitewide discount during the shop break.
