..And we're shut again!

With apologies to all of you wishing to place an order with us, I am sorry to say that we've had to shut the cart again.  The reason is illustrated below.

In just four days, we have received enough orders to keep our much-reduced casting capacity going for at least the next four weeks.  I couldn't carry on taking further orders with the chances of us getting the completed being pushed steadily into the future.

Many thanks to all of you who have placed orders.  We'll crack on with this lot as fast was we can, and can only ask for your patience as we get to work over the coming days and weeks.

We are open for business again

Okay chaps, this is the moment that some if not all of you have been waiting for. The Baccus website has reopened and we are now taking orders. There is still a backlog for us to clear so don't expect your orders by return of post - there will still be a delay, especially as postal services around the world are working at less than peak efficiency,

The last time we did this it took about a week for you lot to break the internet and close us down again, so we are now under starter's orders...and...they're off!

The Inevitable Covid update

As most of you reading this will be aware the cart is currently closed and we are running a reduced casting operation.   I think that its only fair to let Baccus customers know exactly what is happening.

Firstly, and most importantly, we are still working, albeit on a much slimmed down establishment.   Social distancing and keeping all staff safe means that we can only have one caster working at any one time.   This means that while casting is constant it cannot match our normal output.   Orders are being collated and sent out in batches.  These are going out fortnightly, rather than weekly.

We've had to pull the plug again :(

Many, many thanks to all of you who have placed orders. We want to get these out asap, but we are running on much-reduced staffing. As a result we have turned the Baccus shopping cart off to give us some breathing space while we work on the pile of orders. If you are waiting please be patient. We are operating on a third of our normal capacity and postal services are also affected so orders are taking longer to get to you.

On another really, really, REALLY impoortant point, please take care and stay safe.

We will get things back up and running as soon as we are able.

Shopping cart is now open, but....

Because of popular demand, the Baccus shopping cart has reopened, but I cannot say for how long.  However, it is only fair that I bring everyone up to date with what is happening.  In a bid to keep things moving as long as possible, we are now running only one casting machine and on a much reduced staffing basis.   We still have a backlog which is being worked on, so it means that there will be an inevitable delay on any orders being sent out.   As ever, we will work our damndest to get the metal shifted as quickly as we can.

OH NO! It's yet another Baccus Shopping Cart shutdown!

Sorry folks, but we've had to take the difficult decision to put a temporary halt to new orders while we whittle away at the current backlog.    It's not a decision taken lightly, but it is the correct one.

We are taking steps to increase both production and administrative capacity to handle increased volume, but these take time to put in place.

In the meantime please bear with us for a week or so.  If you have any orders for Hammerhead email or phone them through to us.  We are still open for business in all other matters - that is until the Zombie Apocalypse is unleased upon us...

Au Revoir...

Well, we are here.  Our last day of membership of the EU.   We at Baccus are extremely sorry to be leaving.   EU membership and our individual citizenship have been huge bonuses for all concerned.   To my European customers, please do not be be fooled by the flag-waving boorish antics of a few MEPs and the headlines in the trash newspapers.  We remain at heart a civil and civilised country and at least half of the country, if not more are saddened and even appalled at the sequence of events that has led to today.

We are now open for business and there's LOADS of new releases!

After a brief catch-up period, I am delighted to be able to announce that the Baccus shopping cart has now reopened and the doors to our Magical Emporium of Wonders are once more thrown open wide to visitors from all four corners of the globe!

What is more, the shelves have been restocked with a glittering cornucopia of new releases and desirable items to satfisfy even the most jaded of palates..

Shopping cart put on hold

We've had to put a temporary hold on new orders as we clear a HUGE backload received over the holiday period and in the first week of the 2020.   We'll get the casting machines spinning at Warp 9 and get things moving again as soon as possible.  To sweeten the pill a little, when we do reopen in a few days time, we'll have some rather spiffing new releases on offer.

Joy of Six 2020

It's that time of year again!  Get those diaries out and get the weekend booked off for the Joy of Six 2020!
