Temple who manages the Spreadshirt forums (and writes Temple’s Tips for the Shop Partner newsletter) just sent me a link to the new shipping FAQ page.  I hope that you find this helpful in figuring out how long it will take to process your order and have it shipped to you.  I am usually ordering things last minute and trying to figure out what level of shipping that I need to use.  Click on the screenshot of the page to visit the Shipping FAQ page.

The winter weather is causing a few more problems than just having to turn up the heat.  UPS has issued a statement about Winter Weather Delays.  Sit tight your items are still on their way - but may be a day or two late.  From UPS…

Winter Weather Delays

Severe winter weather in the U.S. is affecting all transportation carriers. UPS operations have been impacted, including UPS WorldPort, our main air hub in Louisville, KY. Poor highway conditions have also affected ground and freight transportation. UPS has deployed contingency plans and is making every effort to keep your shipments moving.

The UPS package guarantee does not apply when transportation networks are affected by weather. You can track your shipments or view the latest information in the
Service Update on ups.com.

We just wanted to share this information about shipping to the Washington DC area next week. There may be some delays in shipping next week as a result of heightened secturity in the Washington DC area for the Inauguration. Here is the message from UPS about delays in shipping next week…
