Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s long weekend? Were you able to get some shopping done? Did anyone start to decorate? Being sick put me a little behind with my decorating. I’m usually all done by now, but I just had no pick me up. Plus, I had to go into work both days, so that really messed me up too. I have always had the weekend after Thanksgiving off to get my decorating done, but we are shorthanded at the hardware store so I had to work. This pneumonia has really knocked me for a loop this week and all my get up and go got up and went. Hopefully I’ll be back to myself soon.

Update to Stampin’ Up!’s Backorder Policy Beginning December 1st

Stampin’ Up! provided us with the following update related to their backorder policy:

As you may have heard reported in the news, unprecedented shipping and logistics issues have resulted in a global supply chain crisis. This is affecting businesses world-wide and Stampin’ Up! is no exception. Due to extreme difficulties caused by these issues, starting 1 December 2021, Stampin’ Up! will no longer take orders for products that are not in stock.

In other words, Stampin’ Up! will no longer accept backorders. This change will help to reduce frustrations from unpredictable product availability and allow you to order products that will be delivered right away, rather than products that may not be delivered for months.

If you’d ever like to know if a product is available, please check the online store Here.

The online store is a great resource to browse products, determine availability, and place orders for in-stock items with me. 

If you currently have items that you’ve ordered that are on backorder, those items will be shipped out to you once the stock as been replenished.  No need to do anything to ensure that your backordered items are delivered.

Let me know if you have any questions.  Hopefully the worldwide supply chain crisis will be resolved in the coming months and we can all get back to normal!
