We recently let you know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreadshop.com\/blog\/2020\/03\/31\/spreadshop-march-31st-covid-19-update\/\">here<\/a> that certain products could be printed once again, because our production facilities temporarily allowed for it. As it turns out, these printing techniques are too complex for our production facilities to handle with employees observing guidelines from the CDC and working in smaller shifts.<\/p>\n<p>In order to print and ship as many orders as possible, we\u2019ll be focusing on digital printing techniques for now. As you might\u2019ve noticed, all of the recent changes are temporary and we\u2019ll let you know when we have more information. Until then, please read through the following list to see which products are affected:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All colored mugs (product ID\u2019s: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreadshop.com\/products\/detail\/full-color-mug\/949\">949<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreadshop.com\/products\/detail\/full-color-panoramic-mug\/1134\">1134<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>All hats &amp; bags that require laser transfer printing technique (product ID\u2019s: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreadshop.com\/products\/detail\/full-color-mug\/949\">129<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreadshop.com\/products\/detail\/trucker-cap\/1040\">1040 <\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreadshop.com\/products\/detail\/duffel-bag\/636\">636 <\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreadshop.com\/products\/detail\/lunch-bag\/1445\">1445<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreadshop.com\/products\/detail\/fanny-pack\/1430\">\u00a0<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreadshop.com\/products\/detail\/carry-all-pouch\/1442\">1442)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As before, these products will be displayed in your Shop as \u201cavailable again soon.\u201d Similar to our last post, we encourage you to make sure any marketing or advertisements for the above products are cancelled for the time being.<\/p>\n<p>Another note on promotions, the promotions feature (Shop Settings &gt; Promo &amp; Prices &gt; Promotions) remains turned off until further notice. This affects all current and future promotions in your Shop. By limiting promotions, we\u2019re able to ensure production is manageable for our employees.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, our delivery times will be a little longer than usual. You can check current delivery times in our <a href=\"https:\/\/help.spreadshop.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360010528659-Shipping-Times-and-Costs\">FAQs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re sorry for all of the back and forth, we know the world feels unpredictable right now. Moving forward, we\u2019ll do our best to be as consistent as possible given the current situation. Like the rest of the world, we\u2019re all trying to define what this \u2018new normal\u2019 looks like and that is not an easy task!<\/p>\n<p>The health and well-being of our Shop owners, communities, and employees is a top priority right now. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please let us know. Until then, we hope you and your families stay safe, happy, and healthy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For all .com, .ca, and .co.au Shops certain products will temporarily remain marked as \u201cavailable again soon.\u201d This is due to a shift in production methods, keep reading to see which products are affected by this change. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreadshop.com\/blog\/2020\/04\/02\/spreadshop-april-2nd-covid-19-update\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":809,"featured_media":21043,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"publish_to_discourse":"0","publish_post_category":"21","wpdc_auto_publish_overridden":"1","wpdc_topic_tags":"","wpdc_pin_topic":"","wpdc_pin_until":"","discourse_post_id":"49873","discourse_permalink":"https:\/\/spreadshop.com\/forum\/t\/spreadshop-april-2nd-covid-19-update\/8113","wpdc_publishing_response":"","wpdc_publishing_error":"","_cloudinary_featured_overwrite":false},"categories":[18625],"tags":[2381],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v19.3 (Yoast SEO v19.7.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Spreadshop April 2nd COVID-19 Update - The Spreadshop Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Get the latest information regarding your Spreadshop and COVID-19.
