Your SWZLE Ships Soon!
over 5 years ago – Wed, Dec 12, 2018 at 05:14:00 PM

Hi Friends! 

The time has finally come and we’re getting ready to ship out all of your orders just in time for this gift-giving season. The inventory just arrived and is being packed as we speak. All orders should ship by Friday via USPS with guaranteed delivery by December 24* (*USA orders only). You will be receiving an email with tracking information shortly so you can follow along for your exact delivery date. 

We wanted to also update you on a couple of exciting things on the product side; the cases came out great and look really chic and stylish. The case material is made from recycled-PVC and has been tested and confirmed as water-resistant. The straws look quite luxe and each one is laser-engraved with the SWZLE wordmark. And lastly, we made the last-minute eco-friendly decision to not include single-use stickers with each order but rather to include a reusable linen bag that’s perfect for protecting your SWZLE case or carrying extra straws on the go - consider it our holiday gift to all of you that supported us early on! 

Now that we have full inventory in stock, don’t forget to visit swzle.com to purchase any last minute gifts or stocking stuffers for your or your loved ones. Our extra straws, brushes and cases make the perfect add-on item to any gift this season. 

As always, cheers and thank you for your continued support. 

Happy Holidays!

Hi Friends! 

We’re excited to share with you that your SWZLE orders are on track and we’re finalizing production samples as we type this update! Also, we have our tickets booked and bags packed to visit our suppliers in China at the end of the month. We’ll be doing factory visits, exploring markets for sustainable new materials and ensuring overall quality-control. 

In terms of next steps for you; be on the lookout for surveys to be sent early next week where you’ll get to choose your SWZLE case design, straw shape, size and color. Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to purchase additional SWZLE packs, cases, straws and brushes.

We’re continuing to work on new and exciting product development and partnerships that we hope to share with all of you in the coming months.
