Weird! I placed an order during the whole debate and it worked fine and it went into shipment okay.

Yeah; i checked it and saw. I see no reason why we should assume it has anything to do with recent debates; unless there were some independent squabble going on we don't know about or need to.

If you're in a hurry, I'd just try sending him an email asking if there is some way you could place an order that way.

Yea. I don’t know what’s going on - other than what I’ve read on a few posts. To be honest right now all I want is peace, calm and kava! I’m getting in touch with Chris.
Hi everyone, I am sorry but I closed my website for a while. I am going on a vacation. If anyone needs to order some kava, please send me an email at [email protected]. My brother will fill the order and I will send you an invoice later. I trust all of my loyal customers to wait to pay until I get back. Please let me know if any of you have any questions. Aloha nui loa.

I find this quite odd. Other vendors, who are small and take vacations (not knocking any of them) will usually post a small note to the forums that they are not taking orders for a few weeks and will return on a particular date. Adding that note to the website is also recommended, and just shut off the ordering process. I don't think putting your whole website on maintenance mode is the best approach. Just my opinion.

I assume he has to go on a tour of Fiji, Vanuatu, New Britain, etc, and buy all that $20/kg cheap rotgut root to bring back to Hawaii and stick in his KavaTransmogrifier that turns it into exquisite $60/lb fake awa that tastes and feels just like awa. I don't know how he does it and frankly I don't care, it's a miracle.
It's all about the root, that's what we don't want to forget. Keep your eye on the birdie. Is it good root? That's all that matters. He sells good root at a fair, evidenced by people's willingness to pay, and complaints when they are temporarily unable to enjoy that privilege, price. Sure he's a little weird but ain't none of use here a poster child for normal. We're all Bozos on this bus.

According to my email inbox, I placed my order on Saturday, the shipping label was created Sunday, and it was at the post-office on Monday. But looking at current USPS tracking, something is different; 'cause it seems to being going through 4 plus towns before leaving HI, whereas previously I only remember it going thru a couple towns before leaving HI.
I agree that it isn't the smoothest way to go about it. But there could also be various kinds of "vacations." People deserve some privacy. For example, (and only for example: purely hypothetical), a family emergency (sickness, funeral etc) could require someone to take a "vacation," without providing a clear return-date.

I don't disagree @Krunkie McKrunkface it was just more of a future suggestion. No biggie. Being a small business is tough no matter what, and Chris provided a way to keep up orders if you really need it. Keeping us kava hounds happy is more than a full time job.

enjoy vacation you need it lol
This is actually my first vacation since I was a kid with my mom and dad going on a vacation. Yes you are right, it is MUCH needed.
I don't even know where I am going yet but my wife and I will certainly be enjoying ourselves. Aloha.Chris
You've been at this kava thing for a very considerable amount of time. You deserve a break. I hope your vacation is perfect.
Take pictures for us, Chris. Show us how amazing a place is that a person who lives in one of the most beautiful places on earth goes to visit for vacation
(no tongue-in-cheek there, I'm serious. I've always wondered where people who live in Hawaii go for vacation)
