Thank you for your warm comments left on the previous post and messages sent to me at UGUiSU. Your wonderful thoughts and support are greatly appreciated and I have been comforted by each message received in this uneasy time we are going through at the moment. We are now saving electricity so I packed as many UGUiSU orders as possible before I could do it without turning the lights on. Orders received until today are now all ready to be shipped, and I have donated 100% of the money spent on the purchased items to help the victims of this tragic earthquake & tsunami through Red Cross Japan.
And I've decided to donate 80% of the profits made from all sales for at least one week.
You can also donate directly from the following link via amazon if you prefer to help that way.

With many many thanks,
Hiki
P.S.
I understand many of the items are now out of stock and that is causing inconvenience, but I would like to wait for a little bit longer before ordering new stock just to give my suppliers and the courier company less work as everyone is still shaken up though mostly staying pretty calm. Thank you!
