It is bittersweet that I need to make this announcement. You see, we are so happy to have had a successful Summer Sale last weekend. It makes our hearts happy that so many of you are stamping and crafting and journaling and memory keeping!! However, we strongly dislike disappointing Happy Crafters who are eagerly awaiting for their crafting supplies.
We are so appreciative of the customer support during our HUGE Summer Sale last weekend! As many of our regular customers know, it was the biggest sale in the history of Simon. Simon's logistics department is working 7 days a week and practically around the clock to get orders out the door for you. Always, we strive to ship all orders within 3 business days. Unfortunately, we have fallen behind. Please note that our normal fulfillment times have fallen behind by approximately 1 week. We are hoping that by the end of next week we are all caught up and back on track.
Great pride is taken in our ability to fulfill orders in a timely basis. During unusually high order volumes, we do our best to respond effectively. Rest assured, your order is in good hands and we are working to fulfill it with great care and speed.
THANK YOU! and WE APOLOGIZE for any inconvenience this may cause you. Our customers truly are the heart of Simon and we appreciate you so very much!
-Heidi

That is awesome for you to let us know that. As a customer, I appreciate that very much. That being said, I have had nothing but OUTSTANDING customer service at Simon Says Stamp. The one time I had an issue with an order I had an employee over the phone take care of it for me with her apologies and the wrong product that I received I was able to keep. I want to thank you for your open and honest post and I'm glad you had a successful sale.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the update and congratulations on your success.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting this! As a newish customer with only a few orders to date, I was wondering why I hadn't heard yet that my sale order had been shipped. Now that I understand you are simply overwhelmed, I will wait patiently for my goodies to catch up with me.
ReplyDeleteLet me take this opportunity to tell you how much I have been enjoying SSS. Your designers are incredibly creative, with projects the average person (me!) can do. I learn so much from all of them every day (and put lots of products on my wish list, to purchase when I can!). Your everyday prices and shipping are reasonable, and I've hit a couple really nice sales too.
Congratulations from me too on your success and thanks again for the update info!
Thanks for the update! I was also curious why I hadn't gotten a ship notice yet. The best way to make it up to us is to have another sale! ;)
ReplyDeleteSo sad to have missed the sale! Love your store!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sale and getting my order shipped!
ReplyDeleteI placed my order last Saturday, and it was here today - nothing wrong with a week. You're doing great! I love what I got, and it was all there, so kudos to your team! :)

ReplyDeleteAnd this is why we love you and Simon Says Stamp, Heidi. The sale was amazing and so are you and your team. Keep up the awesome service that makes Simon Says Stamp the wonderful company that they are. ♥
ReplyDeleteHeidi, as you and your team take such wonderful care of your customers, I wasn't concerned about the shipping time. With a sale like the one last weekend, waiting a few extra days is not a problem, it just draws out the anticipation!
ReplyDeletePlease let everyone know we appreciate the extra time they are putting in.
Thanks for all you do......
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for letting us know, Heidi!
ReplyDeletei have nothing but good things to say about your store, customer service and shipping! i am a happy customer!
ReplyDeleteNo worries at all. Thanks for the great sale!
ReplyDeleteIt will be worth the wait!
ReplyDeleteYour customer service is superb. Happy
ReplyDeleteyou made so many sales that you've fallen
a little bit behind.
Love to hear you are doing so well that you fell behind :)
ReplyDeleteYou all totally ROCK!
ReplyDeleteDear SSS, really appreciate that you are taking the effort to inform us about the delay - which I'm sure all of us can understand :) I look forward to more sales and more awesome products in stores :)
ReplyDeleteLike others, I think SSS has great customer service and I really love the designers you have on the team. Just a side note though - I would love to shop at SSS more if the website could be more user-friendly.. For example, it would be so much more helpful if we could sort products by type/price/date of release/brands, and also have a button where we can request for sold-out items to be restocked.. That would make shopping at SSS totally an awesome experience ;)
Thank you!
No worries :) SSS has always had great customer service and been very helpful to me so I have no problem waiting extra time (especially because we got the bonus from the sale!)
ReplyDeleteYou guys ROCK and while I missed the sale I am sure those that bought product understand, especially since you took the initiative to let people know what is going on - how can anyone fault you for that?? Love you guys & your products & your customer service & your prices :)
ReplyDeleteHey the best things in life are worth the wait. :)
ReplyDeleteno worries! thanks for the update, I appreciate you notifying us!

Thanks sooo much for letting us know, then I might give my parcel a few more days to arrive, as I admit, I have been really worried, since it´s been almost 3 weeks now and I still haven´t seen it as I´m also still missing my May cardkit, but the customer service said to give it all up to 8 weeks to arrive, which I find quite a lot??? And I have recieved the June kit, but still miss the MAy kit and also the order from early June yet. But will give it a few more days, and if it´s still not here, I´ll have to write you again. But I´ll like to add, that this is higly unusual for anything from you, and now I´ve got the cardkits every month since the very beginning and this is the first time, it´s ever taken this long.
ReplyDeleteNo problem, as long as its getting here... Good to read that it was a succes and good of you to let us now! Greetings, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update Heidi. I got my shipping notification yesterday so I guess my sale haul will be winging its way across the Pacific Ocean as we speak, lol. Thanks to you and all your hard working, talented crew for provinding such great customer service.
ReplyDeleteYou can't be perfect all of the time.
ReplyDeleteThanks Heidi!! I have no problem with waiting and think it's wonderful that you had such a huge and successful sale!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post. This was my first order, placed on Sunday, and I was planning to call tomorrow to ask what was going on. I was getting quite grumpy, but I'll go back to being a patient customer.
ReplyDeleteAs a Canadian customer I have to have lots of patience...its always more than a week after the shipping notice that I get my happy mail. I think its so thoughtful of you for letting customers know about the delay. I've heard grumblings from others about delays with other companies that weren't so up front about delays. I love SSS and will continue to spread the news of what an amazing company you are. Keep up the good work:)!
ReplyDeleteNo worries... the sale was AMAZING! Totally worth the wait.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us know! Thanks too for the great sale, glad to hear it was successful! I'll be patient....

ReplyDeleteI just missed the summer sale :( too bad!
ReplyDeleteI just got my first order at Simon Says delivered a couple of weeks back.
Love your packaging and quick shipping.
Looking forward to more shopping

I am sure most people would realise that you get super busy at sale time. Good things are worth waiting for.....
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting us know, this is really appreciated. You have the best customer service ever.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this information...I placed my first order last Monday and I was beginning to wonder how long it would take to ship...I didn't know there was a sale on! This puts my mind at ease, and of course I understand how very busy you are and so much more when there's a sale and a huge increase in orders.
ReplyDeleteThis makes perfect sense.
Many thanks

Thanks so much for the update. I was beginning to think there was a problem with shipping to my area. I love SSS product and have ordered a great deal from you and appreciate you taking the time to post and let us know the situation. I look forward to a long and great relationship.
ReplyDeleteHeidi, I got my order in record time but even if I had to wait, it's always worth it. Your store is awesome - it's the only place I shop online! The sale was great and I'd happily place another with Simon Says - sale or no sale!
