Catalog Launch details impacted by COVID-19
Stampin’ Up! has navigated the pandemic very well. They have made modifications in the warehouse and offices to keep their employees safe and healthy. This resulted in a few additional days for orders to get out which was no more than a mild inconvenience for those used to a quicker turnaround time. Most of their manufacturers in China are operating at full capacity. SU! foresees a possible problem with ink refill availability because the company that makes the bottles has been focusing on producing products the medical community needs.
What does this mean for you? It means that all customers will be limited to 1 ink refill bottle of each of the 5 new In Colors. That goes for demos as well as customers. Having said that, SU! does not guarantee that there is 1 bottle per color available for everyone who wants one at this time. The good news here is that because these are new colors, you will be buying new ink pads and by the time you need to re-ink, the re-inkers should be back in stock.
There are a couple of other products on back order or not currently available. This is because of manufacturing or shipping delays caused by the pandemic. SU! is working to get those products restocked as soon as possible. Please know that these delays are out of Stampin’ UP!’s control. The SU! Team has worked diligently to minimize impacts to customers wherever possible. So, if you get a “product is backordered” or “product is currently unavailable” when ordering, please be patient. Back order means that you can choose to include that product in your order and it will be shipped when in stock. When the back order list reaches a limit, the message is changed and the product can no longer be added. However, the intention is that the products will be available again and a future date.
Stampin’ UP Cutting and Embossing Tools
You will get a wonderful look at the new Cutting and Embossing Tools as the SU! Annual Catalog goes live. Yes – I said tools! (plural) You are going to love the options. BUT before you get too excited, I need to tell you that they are not quite yet ready for purchase. Don’t despair, they assure us they will be available early on during the new catalog’s tenure. They opted to put the machines in the catalog so customers know how close we are to having these items available. Knowing that these tools will be available soon may help inform your purchasing decisions.
As their availability draws near, I will be sharing details!
Happy Annual Catalog Launch Day!
