Adapting to the Pandemic

May 6, 2020 update

Orders continue to ship out by next business day. With our reliance on US sourced materials and labor, and the fact we have preserved our in house manufacturing all these years places us in a strong position to weather times just like these. We continue to practice our physical distancing in both manufacturing and shipping so we’re able to take care of your toy needs without compromising our own well-being.

 

Mar 24th Update:

Shop@Home™ will be suspended until a time when freedom of movement is restored. I don’t want people feeling pressure to get returns back when they should be sheltering in place if ordered to do so.

 

March 18th, 2020

We find ourselves in unprecedented times and uncertainty seems to be the word of the day.  My thoughts have been turning to all of you I have met personally or known through email correspondence in my 23+ years of being a part of this uniquely individual and passionate community.  I have you all in my thoughts.

At the beginning of March I was still planning out travel for store visits and my MYOD workshops, looking forward to an exciting year connecting with many of you. How quickly things have changed.  Being in Portland, Oregon where things have suddenly ground to a halt, restaurants, gyms, bars and even my favorite coffee shops have all decided to close for the foreseeable future, I can sympathize with the feelings of disconnection that many of you are now experiencing or likely will be soon. As uncertainty and distancing grows, it’s important we all maintain connection somehow and be kind to each other.  

You can take comfort in knowing we are keeping ourselves safe while we continue to produce product and ship orders for you.

As far as SquarePegToys® goes and maintaining our own safety at work, we are a tight knit crew and already have our own individual responsibilities and separate work areas so maintaining social distance has already been a natural part of our daily pattern. Additionally, we have implemented new cleaning protocols for surfaces and mandatory hand washing upon entering the space. And because we need to keep the areas clean from outside contaminants, we already change clothes before entering the work areas.

Free Shipping

As more and more will likely find themselves unable to get out or travel and local stores may be forced to suspend operations at times, I’m waiving all ground shipping charges to orders within the lower 48 states until May 1st. Orders are still shipping out next business day.

Stay safe, play well, and be kind to each other,
Scott

Holiday shipping offer, and what distinguishes us from all the others

SquarePegToys® is a unique force in the toy industry.    Scott has always believed in treating you the way he would want to be treated and has built his business around one that remains unique in the industry.  With a best price everyday philosophy and strong focus on quality and service we can get you the toys you want, when you want them, so you don’t wait, and you don’t overpay because you missed a sale.

We value your business and so have invested heavily in inventory so that we can ship 99% of orders the same day if placed by 11am Eastern / 8am Pacific.

And even if your order is delayed a day, we will most always upgrade the shipping to still meet the delivery day you were quoted. Ask around, I think you’ll find a lot of happy SquarePeggers™ out there.

 

 

For the Holidays this year, here’s what you can expect:

Free FedEx® shipping on all orders placed until the end of the year
that ship within the 50 United States.

Get your order in by 3pm Eastern / 12pm Pacific* Friday Dec 20th
and we’ll take care of getting it to you by the 24th.

Yes, that means for any orders placed up to the deadline on the 20th!
Shipping will be authorized to upgrade all toy orders to arrive by Dec 24th

 

 

International Fans:  Shipping rates are even lower now, use the cart to get an easy rate quote before placing an order. Plus Canadians can take advantage of my “currency adjustment” which effectively removes the exchange rate.

Current Countries we are able to ship to are:

Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

 

*Normal daily cutoff for same day shipping remains 11am Eastern / 8am Pacific

Mega Sized Leos Added to Lineup

Adding to the collection of Leos are 2 thicker ones for a bigger stretch, and 2 longer ones for playing in the Sigmoid flexure. See them all on the Leo page.

SwapIT!™ Service goes live

100% Platinum Grade silicone can be safely sterilized in an autoclave without damage, so why not get rid of toys you don’t use anymore and put that money towards new ones, or, do an even swap with someone else for a toy you want? You don’t have to go through us, but using SquarePegToys® SwapIT!™ service ensures the toys you receive have gone through the same 2-step sterilization process that hospitals use, and you keep your address private by having us act as your middleman. Yet one more way SquarePegToys® shows that it cares about your health and well-being and not just your wallet.

New S-Series

SquarePegToys® is rolling out a new sizing convention to help you choose the right sized toy.  Small, Medium, Large, doesn’t really tell you much when trying to get a plug or toy that’s right for you.  Blunt™ and Happy Hours are the first to roll out with this, and look for more toys to be added over time.  And be sure to check out the sizing charts for more insight into what toy might be right for you.

Two New Big Plugs

You all asked for it, new bigger versions of both the Happy Hour and Blunt™ Plugs:  Monster Happy Hour and XL Blunt.   (btw XL Happy Hour is almost complete)

Shop@Home™ Program now Available

Only SquarePegToys® puts so much thought into how we can make your play as fulfilling as it can be.  A big part of that is getting you the toys that you know are the right size for you, but online images can only go so far.  Now introducing  a system with special packaging that allows you to see the toys in the comfort of your home and actually be returned if they are the wrong size, style or firmness for you. You tell us which toys you want to review and a small, non-refundable fee per item pays for the added packaging and a pre-paid return shipping label if you decide to send something back. Simply don’t open the tamper evident bag.  See the current list of toys in the program and how it all works on the main Shop@Home™ page. If there’s something you’d like to review that isn’t in the program yet, please just ask.

Toy BandIT!™ and Butt BandIT!™ kit introduced

<<No Longer Available>>

A new way to use the Peg Away Putty® to add to your toys without having to permanently alter them. Once you make your own new BandIT!s™ you can use them on any of your silicone toys to bump them up, make them fatter, add ridges or texture. Same goes for your wrists for fisting.  Kits come with 2 basic mold forms and enough putty to get you started making a few BandIT!s™ for either your silicone toys or for your wrists for fisting.

Free Ground for the rest of 2018

Just gonna go ahead and get this year’s free ground shipping started. And, recently secured some even better discounts on my International rates so I’ve passed them on to you global fans as well. Those are in place permanently.  Free ground on any purchase until 2019, lower 48 states only, or apply what your ground savings is to a 2-day air upgrade, so no matter what you do, you’re going to save.  Now how sweet is that.
