We know this question sounds self serving, but we actually get this question from people fearing that we are using cheaper materials or something like that. The answer is very simple. We do not advertise on the online marketplaces like Google, Facebook, etc. Most people do not realize how expensive online advertising is and on average about 40% of your purchase via these online sources goes to the advertiser, not the company selling the product. So, while it's more convenient to buy via these marketplaces, you should know that a lot of your money is going to them instead of the company selling the product. We prefer selling direct and passing along some of the savings. Win-win!
