3 days in: thank you r/footbag 🙏

Quick update from Japan 🇯🇵

It's been 3 days since I posted about FOOTBAG MANIA shipping worldwide. The orders from the US haven't stopped coming in. My wife and I have been packing boxes pretty much non-stop.

Honestly didn't expect this. Just wanted to say thank you.

To everyone who has ordered: your bags are on the way 🙏

For anyone still looking, we still have stock. We make them ourselves so we can keep producing. Quick info:

- Hand-made footbags, multiple designs

- ¥2,000 each (~$13 USD)

- International shipping from Japan, EMS option (5-10 days to US)

- PayPal accepted

- Order: footbagmania.com → Guest Checkout → select OVERSEAS

Thanks again. This community has been amazing.
