We’re taking orders again!

We’re moved in to our new location and all of the ordering buttons on our pages are live again! We’ll start shipping again tomorrow (August 15).

Some wigs are still out of stock due to our wildly successful run of conventions (thank you everyone!) and still other wig styles are being discontinued- they’re marked as limited edition, with how many we have left. So be sure to check the wigs you’ve been waiting on buying!

We’re Moving!

The Five Wits are soon to be changing location, due to one of us getting a new full-time day job. Don’t worry, we’ll still be selling wigs online, going to conventions, publishing the webcomic, and doing everything we’ve been doing. However, there will be a brief hiatus while the wigs are in the moving truck and getting unpacked, and we’re getting internet hooked up at the new place. All the “add to cart” buttons are going to be disabled at this time, and while you can still email us and talk to us on Facebook we might take a while getting back to you.

In brief: We will not be taking website orders or shipping wigs from Aug 1-approximately Aug 15. The start date may be earlier, depending on how fast the move goes. We’ll keep you posted!

We’re resuming Canadian shipping!

With the Canada Post strike over, we’ve re-enabled our Canadian shipping option. :D For those of you who told us to hold your order until the strike was over, we’ll have your stuff mailed for sure by the end of the week. Thanks for your patience, and please bear in mind that Canada Post has a giant backlog of stuff to ship now, so your receiving times may be a little slower than usual for a bit.

Shipping delays to Canada

Unfortunately there is a postal strike going on right now in Canada, so we are temporarily unable to ship any orders to our Canadian customers. We’ve disabled Canadian shipping options, and for everyone affected who has ordered in the last week or so, we’ve emailed them to let them know their shipments that have already been sent will be delayed somewhere along the line. We’ve looked into alternate shipping options that don’t involve Canada Post, but FedEx starts around $35, which is too much for most customers to pay. If you are in Canada and have a wig emergency and don’t mind the high shipping cost, feel free to email us at thefivewits@thefivewits.net to set up arrangements. For everyone else, sorry about the bad luck, and as soon as the folks at Canada Post get this sorted out we’ll be up and running again!

We want to thank everybody who has Donated to Japan!

Its been great to see how many people are working together to send support to Japan.  We all obviously owe a lot to the Japanese people, and not just their famous artists, writers and celebrities.  We want to see everybody cared for and given hope.

Paypal is offering an easy way to donate to a number of reputable agencies on the ground. And its is covering all the processing fees, so that your entire donation goes where you meant it to.

Donate through Paypal to any one of the listed aid agencies, and forward us your e-receipt along with the email or snail mail address you want us to ship to, and we’ll send our own thank you!

Donate $5 and we will send you a matching discount code for your next order.

Donate $10 and we’ll send you a matching discount code for your next order.

Donate $20- $25 and we will ship you a free T-shirt.

Donate $30 or more and Birdy will draw you a Chaotic Goods style Stat Block, or portrait or whatnot as requested.

We’ll keep this up as long as we can.

Thank you!
