Hello Jomorgan,
So there is no confusion with the reply that Sherrie has posted, the Tim Holtz brand is licensed by many manufacturers; Advantus, Sizzix and Tonic to name just a few. None of these companies own any part of the Tim Holtz brand. We all make product in different categories that incorporate Tim's input and/or design ideas.
As to availability, Tonic has pushed back the availability of the Glass Media Mat because our China factory could not produce enough product to meet demand before the Chinese New Year. Some factories have already closed and will not return until the end of February. Once production starts up it takes several weeks to fill a container and approximately 4 weeks to get the product to our warehouse. The Media Mat was NEVER a limited "One Time Production". I do not know who is making up these rumors but they are entirely false. If a publication or blog wants to report something about any product they should contact the manufacturer and get the facts directly from them.
As to your question to Australia, Tonic will have distribution in Australia once product is available. As you know, products are more expensive in Australia due to the location. If a single unit is being shipped from the USA, the freight cost are going to be much higher because of the weight and distance it needs to travel. However, we ship containers all over the world which reduces the unit freight cost dramatically. Australia will have product once it is available to ship.
Should you have any other Tonic questions, we welcome you to contact us directly anytime. Our number is +1 (209) 253-0596.
Sincerely,
Gary Torres
General Manager
