Hey folks,

just a quick note to let you know that I’ve added live help functionality to the shop. WooHoo!

That means that if I happen to be online, you can click that button and it will start up a chat with someone from our customer service department.. which is also the sales department.. and executive management.. well you get the idea. We’re a small shop.

So if you’ve got some questions about a product, a purchase, tracking an order, or just about anything else having to do with BubbaTanicals, just get to clicking and we’ll do our level best to make sure that you’re taken care of.

I hope it works out for the guy. I think his premise is absolutely correct that if you can remove some of the barriers to entry that more people will be keeping backyard poultry.
