We've made some changes to our international shipping options and pricing. Due to the 400% increase is the price of USPS International shipping over the last few years we've had to remove USPS INTL First Class Airmail as one of our free shipping options. The good news is Fed Ex international shipping is still free for orders over $200! USPS International First Class Airmail is now $15.00

First and foremost, thank you for stopping by and checking us out. Please email/call/chat if we can be helpful.
Shipping news: the USPS is pretty much back to normal (based on our recent delivery stats). Unless you need your order asap the Free USPS shipping option is again a great choice. We will continue to offer FedEX shipping for free on orders over $200 and free USPS on orders over $50.
Crushed opal tubing: we continue to update
this section every few days with new tubes. If you have a color you'd like to see please let us know and we will see what we can do.
Thanks again for stopping by! Nate

We are back to normal here at Profound after
that impressive winter storm named Uri. We lost power, heat, water, internet and so on for a few days but thankfully that is now behind us - its 75 degrees today if you can believe it! Despite this, FedEx, UPS and USPS say they do not expect to be getting back to normal until the end of the week due to a large back log of shipments. Therefore, despite us shipping things asap, there will likely be a delay in your shipment being delivered.
Please msg us if you have questions about shipping times. Cheers, Nate

We are having a shipping delay due to FedEx and USPS suspending operations in Austin TX due to the
winter weather that has cut power to 500,000 homes and businesses for the last three days. Looks like the weather should let up on Thursday (18th) or Friday (19th). Please email us if you have questions. Sorry for that hassle y'all. Nate

Thanks for stopping by!
We are continuing to update our
crushed opal tubing page every few days so please be sure to check back often. Also, if you are looking to have a custom pull done please give us a call or email to discuss the details.
Also - the USPS is taking forever to deliver some packages. This is especially true for shipments into California (really the entire west coast). If you want/need timely delivery please consider FedEx when checking out. Give us a call if you have questions 877-844-5573.
Cheers! Nate

Hard to believe its May!
We continue to ship daily and are here at the shop during normal business hours. Seems that USPS, FedEx and UPS are back to normal and the delays experienced earlier in April have been worked out.
We are adding new
Crushed Opal Tubes almost daily so be sure to check back often if you are looking for something specific.
We also added
"Encaseable Diamonds" to our offerings. There are very cool and keep the outline of a diamond once encased. Use them just like an opal and you wont experience any issues.

Just a quick update on what we are up to here at Profound Glass.
Yes we are still open and shipping Monday - Saturday.
Seems that all the parcel carriers are experiencing issues. The USPS seems slower then usual and FedEx and UPS are having trouble with tracking updates though packages are still arriving on time for the most part.
We are updating our
crushed opal tubing section regularly so be sure to check it out. If you have a specific color/size/weight combo you are looking for please get in touch. We probably have it.
I hope everyone is staying safe! Best, Nate

I wanted to provide a quick update due to the COVID-19 events over the last couple weeks.
Yes, we are open for business, taking orders and shipping orders same or next business day.
Yes, we are taking an abundance of precautions to stay safe as I hope you are too.
Seems that the USPS delivery times are becoming a bit slower, similar to Xmas time, so please keep that in mind when choosing a shipping option.
Please stay healthy! Nate
