Canada Post workers have taken a strike action. So we are closing up our main shop for the time being. 🐾
The info we have right now is below:

Looks like my shops are going to be closing for a bit. Canada Post (and our gov) is continuing to fuck around, wanting to close rural delivery and post offices and other BS. The workers are striking, rightfully so.
Keeping an ear out for ways to help the workers.

Times are tough for artists, writers, and other creative folk. If you have the means, consider signing up for someone's Patreon, or commission some art, or buy a book. Write a skeet about a creative you enjoy. Spread the word about their work.
ACGGoods can also ship worldwide! 🎉
We'll be adding more designs in the future, including things from XIV, HSR and other fandoms as more products and sizes become available.
As a note: we're looking to phase out the Redbubble store we currently have due to the recent fee changes.

TW: Pet death
We had to help our cat pass almost a week ago. It was sudden, and we had no time to prepare. I made these Kitty Pumpkin earrings and charms to pay off her last vet bill. While all of the money from my orders go to bills and the business, money from these will directly go to her bill.
