Updates

Hi everyone! Just popping in with a flood-related shipping update. We were able to resume shipping today, but wanted to note that for the time being, orders won’t be going out daily like normal. Orders will go out on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for the time being as we need to transport them to a post office in the next town over. They’re working on setting up a mobile unit here, so when that’s up and running we should be able to resume our normal daily shipping schedule (hopefully next week!). Our postal workers are absolutely the best, and we’re thankful for all their hard work. They are currently set up in a tent in a parking lot so we can pick up our mail!

Hello all! I just wanted to pop in and make sure to share an update here on the blog that we posted on Instagram over the weekend. Our small town experienced devastating flooding over the weekend when a levee broke after a week of extremely heavy rains. So many of you have reached out with concern and well-wishes. Thank you so much! I wanted to let you know that we (both our home and business) are totally fine and dry, and we are so thankful for that. So many in our community are not, and have lost so much. It will be a long road ahead. 🙁

We wanted to let you know that due to the flooding, we are NOT able to ship orders this week. We hope to resume shipping on Monday 7/1.

Happy Tuesday! I don’t have a Make & Tell for you today, but I do have some other fun news!

April 26th marked our first anniversary here at The Greetery! I can hardly believe it’s been more than a year since we launched this blog and our shop! We went into this not knowing at all what to expect, but we have been overwhelmed with your support and enthusiasm. Thank you for coming along on this ride with us – for your support, your comments, excitement over new products, encouragement, and the overall kindness displayed by all of you, our customers, has been the most fulfilling part of this whole undertaking! We can’t express enough how much we appreciate each and every one of you and we’re so happy you’re here!

With that in mind, we’re ready to do a bit of celebrating next week! Even though we’re a month behind our anticipated celebration date, if life has taught us anything in the last few months it’s that sometimes things don’t go as planned. 🙂 Next week we’ll be celebrating with the release of some new products, prizes, and lots of projects from the Inspiration Team + some special guests!

Stock Update: I know we have so many out of stock products right now that you all have been waiting ever so patiently for. Our manufacturers are working hard at getting back on track and getting our orders to us. Our packers here on our end are busy prepping what has already come in, and more things are coming later this week. We were hoping to do a major restock by the middle of this week, but a large stamp reorder we were expecting has been slightly delayed. In an effort to avoid frustration with placing multiple orders, we have decided to hold off on restocking bits and pieces as they come in, and instead do one large restock once everything that’s trickling in has arrived. We’re hoping to have a nearly fully-stocked store in time for our anniversary celebration!

We’ll see you back here on Friday for a fun TGIF post with Kelly!

Hey all! I’m just popping in with a stock update. We’re starting to see a few restocks coming in.

We’ll be restocking some stamps and dies in the shop in just a bit. I wanted to keep you in the loop and let you know that we have a very limited quantity for a few of the items. Because of the long lag we’ve had in being able to get product from our manufacturers, I’m afraid our out of stock email alert list has grown beyond what we have to put in stock right now on some of the items. We have more orders coming in over the next few weeks as our manufacturers work to catch up on orders. So if you miss out on this batch, we recommend signing up again for the email alert so we can hopefully catch you on the next round.

Here is a list of what we’re adding to the shop tonight!

Stamps:

• Comforting Commands
• Cotton Comforts
• Fir & Foliage No. 2
• Fleur Impressions
• Hand in Hand
• Simple Things
• Budding Beauties: Autumn

Dies:

• BotaniCuts Succulents
• Comforting Commands
• Crimped Frame (limited qty)
• Fir & Foliage No. 2
• Fleur Impressions
• Hand in Hand
• Nordic Frames (limited qty)
• Postal Frames (limited qty)
• Simple Things

Good evening! I’m just popping in with some shipping updates.

International orders: We made the decision to temporarily suspend international ordering due to extensive USPS delays. We have been monitoring international shipments and unfortunately, most orders placed within the last 3-4 weeks are not seeing any movement beyond the international hub in Chicago. Therefore we have decided to temporarily stop accepting international orders. All international orders that have been placed have gone out, with the exception of those waiting for the Sentiment Starters die. Once those dies arrive, we will ship those orders, but will not be accepting any more international orders until we start to see movement on the current orders and the backlog start to ease. Thank you for your understanding.

Domestic Orders: While most domestic orders seem to be moving through the system at a fairly normal pace, please be aware that there does seem to be a few bottleneck areas – specifically hubs in Chicago and Detroit. We’ve also noticed that tracking doesn’t seem to be updating as much along the way. Many times it will show as having left our regional facility in Sioux Falls, SD, and no further updates until it arrives at the destination’s regional facility. So we ask that you not be too alarmed with the lack of tracking updates, and give things a bit more time than usual.

Sentiment Starters dies: These are on the way! We hope to start shipping out orders that are waiting on this die beginning this weekend, depending on when they arrive (see note above about the delays in domestic shipments, which applies to us receiving things as well 🙂 ) We will get them out as soon as we possibly can because I know crafty goodies are really fun, but waiting for them is not!

Also, we’ll be taking a break from TGIF tomorrow. Originally we had some fun anniversary celebration things planned for this week (can you believe The Greetery is turning ONE already??!!), but due to the current situation, we’ll be celebrating at a later date! I can’t wait! ❤️

Take care and I’ll see you back here on Tuesday for a Make & Tell video!

Hey everyone! Happy Monday morning. I’m just popping in to let you know that we did a small restock of the clear bubbles that coordinate with the Candy Pops collection over the weekend. I know many of you have been asking about these. Please note that the stock of 1/2″ depth is quite limited, especially for the circles, but we have more of all shapes and sizes coming soon. Just thought I’d update you all on that!

We have also been getting quite a few questions on other out of stock items. We are expecting a large restock of dies will happen early next week. Most out of stock stamps are expected in about 2-3 weeks.

Before I sign off, I’d love to get some input from you! It’s looking like I will have some time this week to put together a few videos. I’d love to hear your thoughts on what you’d like to see!

Hoping your week is off to a great start!
