The Busy Season is Here

We are now entering the busy season for printing and promotional merchandising. Here are 3 things worth considering during this time to ensure that your projects are delivered before Christmas.

1. Heavy Production Workloads

Our general production lead time is 10 – 15 working days. We ship out your project as soon as it is finished. However, during this busy time, we may need the full 10 – 15 working day period for production. This is due to the increased volume of projects.

In addition to the 10 – 15 working day production, please also take into account the delivery time which is another 3 – 4 working days to metro areas in Australia.

2. Limited Stock Availability

It has been more difficult to restock inventory because of COVID-19. Heavy delays in manufacturing and shipping have resulted from the lockdowns. There are items and colours that are more popular than others (black, for example). Note that many organisations tend to compete for similar products and similar colours resulting in low stock availability.

We can always check stock levels for you. We can also put a limited 48-hour hold on eligible stock to give you some time to finalise design and budget decisions. However, this hold cannot be extended.

3. Potential Shipping Delays

Couriers and shipping companies are experiencing delays due to the sheer volume of packages. Potentially more delays are to be expected due to COVID-19.

We will do our best to track your shipments and follow up with necessary recovery actions due to delays. We will greatly appreciate your patience if your project experiences shipping delays.

I personally dislike saying “No” to projects and clients, especially during this busy time. However, we would rather be honest with our valued customers because we never want to under-deliver on a deadline-driven project.

My best advice is to reach out to us early regarding any project that must be delivered before Christmas. We are happy to assist and provide you with the details to help you plan and budget accordingly.

I’m looking forward to working with you this holiday season!

Stay safe and stay healthy!
