Attention: Website sales will be offline August 8th through August 23rd

2020 ... a most intense and strange year. Fittingly, amidst all the upheaval, in June we received notice that our current building is going to be re-purposed by our landlord before the year-end. Prior to this, our plan was to renew for another year ... Plan changed!

Thankfully, we're pleased and excited to announce that we'll be moving to a bigger facility! This is a move which perhaps was well overdue. Nevertheless, the opportunity comes now and we're quite excited to upgrade our operation.

By the way, our move will be taking us to San Marcos, Texas, which is ~20 miles south of where we are presently (Austin, TX).
Austin has been very good to us. We will surely miss it. Nonetheless, San Marcos is a beautiful town with exciting new possibilities.

Moving dates and service disruptions

July 22nd - Early moving steps

Starting in August we'll begin our primary moving phase. This time should be relatively normal, as orders will be fulfilled as usual and our business hours will remain the same.

Although, please note, customer service might be a bit delayed during this time.

August 8th through August 23rd - Temporary shutdown

Silver Botanicals will be temporarily shutdown. During this two week period, all operations will suspend. This includes customer service, sales and fulfillment of orders (our website, Ebay, Etsy, Amazon - except Amazon FBA (Fulfilled By Amazon) - and wholesale channels).

If you have an emergency we shall still be reachable via Turn on Javascript!, plus our other email addresses. Althogh

August 23rd through September 15th - The just-moved afterglow

During this time we will be working hard to settle everything that's been uprooted. Operations should resume as normal, but undoubtedly there will be some hiccups. Nonetheless, we will do our best to serve all your customer service needs and fulfill your orders.
We kindly ask thought that you bear with us should we fall short! Please rest assured that we will take of you too, no matter what comes up.

Update - Sunday, August 23rd

Hello, and thank you for checking in on us.

Moving ... It's been quite a haul. Good news is we're about 80% done. Bad news is our webshop will remain offline until as late as Thursday, the 27th. Although, hopefully sooner, possibly by Tuesday evening.

As far as everything else, we're very pleased so far! There's not much joy in moving--especially when it begins to hurt!--but it's a necessary process form time to time. With it there's much to enjoy too. Not least is seeing order come back into our life. There's also the excitement of a new place in a new town.

With that said, we will be very busy tomorrow rebuilding the equipment and workstations of our business. Plus we will be fulfilling the longest standing orders since our shutdown. The phones will also go back online tomorrow, so feel free to give us a call!

We'll update here shortly.

Sincere gratitude.

Dear valued customer,

Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis, we are experiencing various stock availability issues and price increases. Thus, some of our products may have significant delivery delays, or may become unavailable for an indefinite period of time.

Please know, we're doing everything we can to mitigate these problems. Yet, due to supply chain issues which we cannot control, there may be undesired effects, such as price increases and stock outages.

We will communicate these issues the best we can via our website. For more specific information, please contact us.

Update 06/04/20

Good news. Stock availability and prices have relatively stabilized. Most of our suppliers are able to fulfill orders as they did previous to COVID-19. We're also seeing price stabilization as it concerns most of our raw materials (bottles, essential oils, dry ingredients, etc.).

Coinciding with this, we've lifted all purchase quantity restrictions on products like our Silver Shield Sanitizer. We've also reduced our retail prices from the emergency COVID pricing we set forth in March.

Thank you for bearing with us during this time!

First published 03/14/20

For your information we are currently experiencing various delays with the following products:

• Silver Shield Sanitizer, 12 oz (SSS12)
• Silver Shield Sanitizer, 2 oz (SSS2)
• Silver Mist Humidifier Additive, 12 oz (SMA12)
• Silver Mist Humidifier Additive, 4 oz (SMA4)

Order lead-times

Currently we have extended lead-times for all orders. The following list is an estimate of lead-times for a given channel. Please note, these lead-times do not consider all factors, but give a rough idea:

• Our website: 3 business days or less (most orders will be fulfilled within 3 days)
• Amazon: 5 business days or less (most orders will be fulfilled within 3 days)
• Etsy: 5 business days or less (most orders will be fulfilled within 3 days)
• Wholesale: 3 weeks or less (depending or order volume; most orders will be fulfilled within a week time or less)

For any extenuating circumstances which may induce longer delays, we will do our best to contact you. We will also honor any refunds due to lead-times, prior to shipment. For further information, please contact us.
