Here is our most recent Newsletter:
๐ญ - ๐ฑ๐ฌ% ๐ผ๐ณ๐ณ ๐๐-๐ต๐ฏ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ - for starters, we have put 50% off DK-93 SNAP PRESS MACHINES for this week until Wednesday 4 February.
๐ฎ - ๐ก๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ ๐ ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ต๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ต๐ผ๐๐๐ฒ ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ๐น๐ผ๐ด - Hamish has been back in NZ now since early December, and dispatching orders daily now - and there is a list of house keeping tasks he is working through the rest of the day after the orders have all been dispatched out. We are expecting that house keeping list to take around 9 months to get all completed with how big it currently is. So while for the first part of 2026, you shouldn't expect to hear a lot from us here at Greenbeans while we get a lot of house keeping done - we will be here dispatching daily if you need anything and place that order on our website when you need to and understand we are working through a significant house keeping list of to do tasks.
๐ฏ - ๐ฆ๐๐ผ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐๐ฝ ๐๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐/๐ถ๐ป ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐ผ๐ฏ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐น๐ - we are still closing down, and once we sell out of a product line it is not being restocked. There are a number of product lines where we have limited stock in them and expect to have people who hung out for them to go on sale to be disappointed that we simply sell out of them in normal trading over 2026.
๐ฐ - ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ / ๐๐ฎ๐บ ๐ฆ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ ๐ด๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฝ ๐ฐ๐ฌ% - one of the many house keeping tasks on the too do list is doing a catalog wide price review, consideration, and analysis. While some of this commenced in December, it has not been finalized. In the work done in December, the one product that stood out significantly is Plastic Kam Snaps and that they should increase from the current $5 per packet to $7 per packet - a 40% increase in price. A standard maximum discount of 30% off $7 takes them down to $4.90 per packet - effectively the current price they are listed for. Again, stocking up now prior to the price review of all products is going to be advantageous in you obtaining supply at very fair prices - and with items like Kam Snaps where we only have 2 packets of B36 left - it will allow you the chance to grab them before we sell out and they are not replaced upon being sold.
๐ฑ - ๐๐ฎ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฆ๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐๐ฎ๐บ ๐ฆ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ - Socket & Caps & Individual Parts - in 2025 we ordered in Stud & Cap parts to convert all our Socket & Cap parts into Full Sets of Size 20 Kam Snaps. One of the house keeping tasks on our to do list is going through and doing this repackaging. We have now gone through and repackaged all our B1-B60 colour range and where we had any Socket & Cap sets left over - those have been enabled and stock managed on the website. Any of those Caps, Studs, or Sockets left over that cannot make up a Full Set - have been set aside in a plastic box waiting for their future - which if they are not sold as individual parts - they will be mixed up by colour, counted out into 1,000 mixed colour lots - and sold as DFG Snaps to DFG. We are currently working through all the custom Colours repackaging them. If you wish to order any individual parts, now is the time to contact us - replying to this email works - listing what colours and individual parts you are chasing - and doing so prior to us mixing all snaps up and package them up as DFG Snaps. Socket & Caps are listed on the website - and Custom non B1-B60 will be added as we work through them over the next 1-2 months to be repackaged and listed on the website then. Now is the last chance to balance up your snap stash if you desire to - as we will only have Full Sets or DFG snaps on hand come Christmas Day 2026. The when that task is ticked off our house keeping task list will be when that occurs this year around everything else on that house keeping to do list - this is your one and only opportunity to stock up on those individual parts.
๐ฒ - ๐๐ป๐ป๐๐ฎ๐น ๐๐๐น๐ธ ๐ข๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ถ๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ "๐๐๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐น" - for the past 2 years we have advised customers it is highly advised to move the ordering of their needs to our Annual Bulk Ordering time frame. That advisory now moves from advised to "Essential". While we are shutting down from buying, owning, storing, & supplying product in a "just in time" format, we will continue to supply product to customers who order in Bulk once a year in the same time frame as all our other customers. That time frame is ordering from Valentines Day - 14 February-28 February and that the product from those orders being manufactured and shipped out to land to ship out and supply to you in July each year. So if you think this applies to you, contact us by replying to this email with your query - or call Hamish on 027 2799745.
๐ณ - ๐ ๐ฒ๐๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ - ๐๐๐น๐ธ ๐ข๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ - we have been sold out of metal grommets and die sets for a while now - and our advice to customers is to make contact with us from Valentines Day - 14-28 February bulk ordering time frame window - and if we can between all customers get enough orders for 200 packets of a size or two - that we will look to get those metal grommets out. This "may" require you to buy 3-4 packets instead of 1 packet to get supply and get us to the 200 packet MOQ we have to order to have any supply - but the first step is for you to contact us from 14 February - ideally via email - so replying to this one works on 14 February of what you are chasing with Metal Grommets - size and how many packets. We will set those emails aside to look at closer to 28 February, and see if we can pull the supply of a size together. We are expecting 6mm & 10mm to be the most likely sizes that we pull the numbers together to order them.
That is it for now - expect things to scale up towards the tail end of 2026 after we worth through all the house cleaning that we are currently working on and we can only again stress the importance of stocking up today while we have stock left on hand.
