ATTENTION: US Customers
Due to uncertainties regarding next week's tariff event, I have disabled orders for US addresses.
The central issue for my store is the "Section 321 de minimis" provision which currently allows my type of shipments to enter the US without tariff considerations. There is the possibility that this provision will be phased out, which will complicate my shipping procedures, with greater levels of reporting (and possible charges). Until I can figure out if/how I will have to deal with this I will err on the side of caution so that American customers don't find their orders hanging in limbo.
Currently, I have 2 orders outstanding for US addresses. These will be processed and shipped this week, in time to avoid implications of what happens on April 2nd.
My apologies for the inconvenience to my many American customers.

PS Please, no comments about politics/politicians. I don't care about your opinions on those matters, and I don't offer mine.
ATTENTION: US Customers
Now that the 'hammer' has dropped, the "Section 321 de minimis" provision remains in place*, so I've un-disabled orders for US addresses. Please resume ordering with enthusiasm and gusto!
* the provision is no longer available to items sourced from China, which means the MausMouse shouldn't be ordered by Americans. (honestly, very, very few orders include this item, so not much of a loss there)

Sticky Overlays - New Product
Removable self-stick overlays are now a thing. These are printed on clear plastic and need to be cut out.
Instead of cutting the backing with the overlay, the recommended approach is to start peeling off the plastic and cutting each overlay and re-applying to the uncut backing sheet.
Because of the clear plastic, there is no need to cut exactly along the overlay edges, so cutting is faster and easier.
The photo below (enhanced for viewing) shows how the cut overlays can be kept on the backing sheet.
These sticker overlays do not mar the surface of a mapboard, even after several days. Because the centers are clear, you can quickly align the overlays to the centers printed on the board.
