CRAFT HOUSE

Full update coming out to all customers in the next few days – but in the interim, for those looking for an update on pre-orders, waiting for new stock to arrive – the wait is almost over. A truck load (literally) of the product ex-China arrived late yesterday afternoon (that’s the page inserts, the dividers and the two new bulk packs options) and its been a full on day working through the pre-orders and getting them ready for shipping. A good number of orders left this afternoon… and we anticipate all pre-orders that can logically be shipped should be on the way by end of day Monday. We are still waiting for our next shipment of Core Kits, some Binders and the Page Inserts “D” (all being arranged currently – with a delivery date April/May) and we have another enormous shipment of page inserts, dividers etc due in the next 3 weeks bringing us closer to the position we are striving for where the need for pre-orders are a thing of the past and we can hold sufficient stock to handle the increasing popularity of Project Life!

Thanks to your support and the huge popularity of Project Life over the last couple of weeks, we have sold out of many of the products, however, we haven’t sold out of everything……so please check the store for what is still available.

We have a re-stock shipment of most of the “plastics” (these include the exceedingly popular Scrapbook Dividers!) arriving from China in 3-4 weeks, along with the Black and White Signature Binders and several boxes of Clementine and Cobalt Binders which were short-shipped originally.

You are now able to pre-order the out-of-stock products again….please note, we won’t ship your order until all items are received in store.

 The past 48 hours have been full on receiving our latest shipment of Project Life product….and the first customer orders began shipping today! Thank you yet again to the many who have pre-ordered Project Life product…… for your patience as it has been designed, quality checked, manufactured and shipped “down-under”.

We know the wait will have been worth it… the quality of the overall product and the increased range of designs of the Pocket Pages are everything we had hoped for – and we know you will agree.

The first shipments are for the items just received – the Amber and Turquoise ranges (excluding Binders), Scrapbook Dividers and the Pocket Pages.
The Binders are just about to leave the US, as are the Cobalt and Clementine Core Kits from China. These are expected to be with us at the end of the month… and it is our expectation that all orders will have been shipped and received by early December.

Already we have sold through much of the stock ordered on pre-order but we and the other International Distributor are already discussing with Becky the possibility of more product being manufactured!
In the meantime – if you want to secure some of what we have left of this shipment, head on over to www.crafthouse.co.nz/store now and get ordering!

Coming up on October 19 at 7pm is the stunning class that Nic Howard created for SENZ this year and we are fortunate enough to have a limited number of her class kits for the fabulous Beverley to run a class…..the theme is “That’s My Boy”….all about the boys in your life…..

There is enough product in the kit to create the two layouts you will be making on the night plus much more for a third layout!

If you would like to book in, please email mary@crafthouse.co.nz.

Thanks again to the hundreds of you who have pre-ordered Becky’s Project Life products!

By doing so, you have not only secured the product for yourselves, but also enabled Becky to get a feel for quantities to manufacture – and for us to order sufficient ex-China to cover our customer requirements! Obtaining additional stock at a later date is almost impossible as many customers sadly discovered with earlier releases. As it is we have now already pre-sold over 60% of the shipment and the orders being received daily are depleting the balance steadily – don’t delay in pre-ordering if you want more Project Life product!

So… the product update……

The first shipment, containing the Amber & Turquoise product ranges (excluding binders/albums) plus all the page protectors for all ranges were loaded on a ship heading “down-under” late last week.

Providing there are no shipping delays we should see the container unloaded into our store at the end of this month….yippeee!

We are already gearing up to turn this around immediately and providing there are no shipping delays, or you have on order an Album/Binder, the Cobalt or Clementine product range – your order will be with you a day or so after we hope.

As mentioned above – the Cobalt and Clementine ranges should be released from manufacturing early next month in China – and we are expecting that to coincide with the release of the Albums/Binders from manufacturing in Utah, USA. The shipping time from both factories is about the same – so we are again anticipating a late in the month delivery to us… seeing these heading to customers for a late November/early December delivery.

Note: Pre-orders which guarantee remaining product releases i.e. Binders/Albums and the Cobalt and Clementine ranges, will be closing off mid-October. We will send a reminder to all customers about this shortly though.

 All for now… any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
