Starting from 1st April 2022, standard shipping and handling rates will permanently increase by $1 to $6.95 or 6% (whichever is greater)
Stampin’ Up! has not initiated a cost increase to shipping and handling charges for well over a decade, even with many years of the business’s shipping-related costs steadily increasing. In fact during my time as a demonstrator (almost 15 years) there has never been a price increase at all.
Despite Stampin' Up's best efforts to manage shipping and handling costs without increasing their associated fees for us, the acceleration of shipping and handling cost increases over the past two years has exceeded their ability to continue subsidising without this increase.
Stampin' Up! collect less in shipping and handling fees from you and demonstrators than they pay to support these services. This change is about Stampin’ Up! not losing money at an unsustainable rate—not about making more money. This adjustment is consistent with the responsive shifts many companies have had to make in the continued global supply chain crisis.
If anyone has any questions about this then please feel free to reach out to me.
We have also been made aware that in the new catalogue, which goes live in May 2022, there will be some small price increases as well.
