Important Stock Updates! Several of our manufacturers are experiencing longer than expected ship times that have interrupted our supply.
FUZZI BUNZ - The manufacturer is now saying 10 weeks for retailers to get orders. We placed an order on March 8, when shipping was quoted at 6 weeks. So our best guess is that our order will arrive no earlier than May 1, and possibly not until June 1.
BUMGENIUS - Our next order arrives on Thursday, April 10, with another to follow in 2 weeks.
KISSALUVS - The manufacturer estimates that our order will ship by April 15.
Due to the weak dollar, our Canadian suppliers have needed to increase their prices. Combined with an increase in fuel costs and freight, out cost on Sugar Peas and BerryPlush products have increased and we have not re-ordered. Stock on these products has also been spotty at the manufacturer, with only a few sizes/colors in stock at a time, which makes it difficult for us to order since it is not cost-effective to order just a few items at a time. We love these products but they will not be re-stocked until the manufacturer has sufficient stock available and/or the costs come down.
We have also just been notified that the cost on hemp has dramatically increased for our suppliers (50-75% increase in cost to them). Some of our suppliers are also experiencing a shortage of hemp. This of course means a much higher cost to us, and in turn to you, the consumer. We have not raised any hemp prices yet, but as new stock is ordered at the new cost, we will unfortunately have to raise the prices. The first products to be affected will be Happy Heiny Hemp Stuffins and Happy Hempy diapers (which are out of stock currently due to manufacturer being out of stock).
We realize that shortages are very frustrating, especially when you are working on a gift registry! It is so frustrating for us too. For gift registrants, the best thing to do is register for lots and lots of things, so in the event that something goes out of stock, there will be other items for people to choose from. It is also good to plan ahead- don't wait until a week before your due date to order diapers!
We are so grateful for each and every person that chooses to shop with us. If we are not able to meet your needs due to a stock shortage, we sincerely apologize. We are doing as much as we can to get re-stocked as quickly as possible. Thank you so much for your understanding. |
