Hola MephHeads!
It’s been coming for a while, but we wanted to give a decent update about some improvements and future plans for our store.
We’re aiming to bring all stores closer together in terms of offerings, freebies, opening times and stock varieties.
It’s not the easiest thing logistically to do, as the size of each store is different, number of personnel, demand and so forth differs. So, there are certain considerations and allowances to consider, but we now have a master planner on the team, and we are doing our very best to provide a great buying experience.
……
Freebies!
All stores will now have three featured freebies per month listed.
We don’t always have freebies in the same quantities, so some can run out. We’ll have two non-listed freebies to sub in if one does run out, and people hitting the highest freebie tier with their orders will get the two non-listed freebies as well.
Drops!
· All stores will have the second 2022 Illuminautos drop on October 31st. Each regional store will also get one exclusive Illuminauto cross.
· All stores will have a late 2022 Limited Edition drop.
· Secret Santa event this Holiday season - Santa knows if you open them early!
Purchase restrictions:
Whilst we’ve been working away to build up a better stock levels of all strains, we’ve had to limit orders to one pack per strain per order. With the increase in inventory, you can now purchase 5 packs of each strain.
Variety:
With our distribution teams well practiced and settled, we’ll be expanding the number of strains listed per week in the short term, with the aim to use that as a steppingstone to be able to list all varieties all the time in the not-too-distant future.
Opening times:
To coincide with the above variety point we’ve been working for a while now to keep the stores open for longer and ease the pressure to grab things on Mondays only. So, these will be expanded, and store specific details will be listed below.
Swag and Merch:
We’ve been sampling merch and coming up with ideas for nice swag items all year. There are currently several things in the production pipeline, and we’ll hope to get details on those out as soon as we have a better timeline internally for when things can roll out.
Shipping times:
With the new opening hours, we thought it a good time to slip in a quick reminder. Our distribution teams generally work with the aim to get an order out within 5 business days, but we still have in place our maximum of 10 business days. This can apply during this transitional period, and for the two upcoming drops where order volumes can be substantially increased over the norm.
New strains!
Ravenberry will be available in the UK and Canada stores as a Reserva in November and will hit the US store in the Spring.
You also may have seen the new CBD project going out to testers, Jacky CBD x Walter White. This new medical project will be available early next year.
The Spain MG facility has been cranking non-stop this year and last developing new strains. A number of those strains are nearly finished and have been passed to the US for final production runs that should be knocking on the door for release in late spring. - from new and punchy, breathy, sweet to super old skool.
……
Store specific details:
US:
- Store open Monday through Friday
- Starting in November, 10 strains listed per week.
- Aim to be open 24/7 sometime next year
UK:
- Store open Monday through Friday
- Aiming to expand to 7 strains per week soon.
CA:
Much change in the great white north, we have a brand-new team there. It was quite an operation to move locations and get them up to speed, but we fully trust in them to take care of business and look after you guys.
We want to ease them into the store openings, so for the remainder of this year it will be:
- Fortnightly Monday openings
- Note: new opening time change to 12PM PST
- 5 strains per opening with a better planned variety
- Listed freebies
We will be looking of course to be open more frequently in CA and offer more strains in line with the other stores, but we want them to get established first.
We also have setup a small MG farm in Canada to have more stock of more varieties up in there.
EU and Worldwide:
We still have our partnership with Seedsman for EU distribution and have much expanded the varieties available with them from our catalogue, so Illuminautos and Limited’s will have a place with them too.
Just bear in mind it does take time between when they order from us and when stock gets listed on their sites. But we will communicate to you as soon as things are listed.
In the short term Our .EU and Worldwide .net landing pages will come back and act as a landing page to re-direct to Seedsman.
In the longer term we have been working for months and months to get a legal way of importing Seeds to Europe in place, quite a lot of red tape to handle, but once that’s taken care of, we aim to get our own MG EU store back in action which could service worldwide orders also.
….
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this!
We love you, and if you’ve any questions drop them below.
Cheers The MG team!
