We just shipped an order to Norway, making it the 26th country we have customers in. To be fair, included in this list is Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands. (As Puerto Rico suffers for lack of water – and representation – it seems right to include them.) Our 25th was China, marking for us a victory greater than all of them combined. With so many products made in China, it just felt good for us to ship our little package there. Justice of sorts, no matter how imbalanced.
Canada was our first and until tariff wars sullied our relationships, it was also our second biggest customer base after the United States. Of course, being the kind, eco-citizens they are, many of our products come came from Canadian companies. This is a story for another day.
This brings me to the US. We have had customers in 49 states, including the non-contiguous states of Alaska and Hawaii since 2023. Our one holdout is Wyoming. Why? Even after our best efforts to lure Wyomingites — offering a $25 gift certificate to both the referrer and buyer — Wyoming continues to elude us.
Why?
Some of our customers have proffered logical reasons such as Wyoming’s small population. Hmm. While it’s true Wyoming is at the bottom of the list, coming in around 600,000, it still doesn’t make sense when Vermont, Alaska, and the Dakotas are right behind. AND it certainly doesn’t explain why the US Virgin Islands with even fewer people have become customers.
Another customer suggested that Wyomingites are homesteaders, living off the land, making their own soaps and personal care products and therefore have little need of eco-friendly products. Is this true?
So I ask you, why is Wyoming holding out on What’s Good? Let’s hear your reasons. Better yet, if you know someone in Wyoming, please give them a nudge. We’d love to have them — and complete our objective of having customers in every state.

P.P.S. Note that we always ship in the most sustainable methods possible, including reusing materials and boxes, eco labels/stickers, and boxes that fit the order. Plus, carbon offset credits are always available.
