Site Online

I guess that last phone call did the trick. The site is now online.

Thanks for your understanding.

Site down temporarily

JodiB — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 04:09:11 +0000

Mon, Oct 24, UPDATE: As usual I’m waiting on someone else to finish up work that was promised days ago. I’ve spoken with the people doing the update on the site and it should be done within the next couple of hours. I’ll post again if that changes.

___________________________________________

I’ve got the site down right now. I’m waiting on some updates and hope to have it back up by the weekend.

Thanks for your understanding.

Cheers,

Jodi

Shipping Resumes

JodiB — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 20:31:42 +0000

Yay, we have our shipper back! They are starting to resume operations today and will be taking new shipments as of tomorrow. So any parcels that have been waiting on this will be shipping tomorrow from our office.

Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding with this situation.

Alternate Shipping

JodiB — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 20:51:09 +0000

I’ve spent the last day or so trying to get alternate shipping set up on the site, but it’s not going well. It needs an update to the software, but the update is breaking the site functionality. I’m working on fixing the problem, but my skills are limited and I may need to bring in a developer.

In the meantime, I’ve read that the Federal government is prepared to discuss legislation that would force the workers back to work. This discussion may take place as early as Monday of next week, which would have the mail going again possibly as soon as Tuesday next week.

If that happens I don’t want to spend hours and dollars fixing something that won’t be broke come Tuesday. So, I’ve decided to wait it out until then to see if normal shipping resumes. If not then I’ll get someone in to get the site up to speed for the new shippers.

I’m sorry for the interruption in business, but having looked at all the options I think this is the best short-term solution.

Patterns will be available to view and all versions for computerized systems are available as usual.

Shipments that did not clear Canada or are destined for delivery within Canada will be delayed due to the labour dispute.

Shipping Woes

JodiB — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 19:57:32 +0000

Well, Canada Post in it’s infinite wisdom (NOT) has decided to lock out it’s employees, putting all shipping at a stand-still.

I had already set up accounts with some of the other shippers, but just now find out that I have to upgrade my site software to use them properly. So, the site is down for me to do that. I’m going to take this opportunity to load another piece of software that I bought also, so it’s going to take the better part of the day – barring errors – for me to get this done.

Worldwide Shipping

JodiB — Tue, 03 May 2011 18:12:50 +0000

Just a reminder that we do ship worldwide. Which means that customers in the UK, EU, Australia, and New Zealand can all get patterns shipped directly from Willow Leaf Studio.

Shipping quotes can be obtained right on the site. Just fill up your cart and then click on Checkout. Around the middle of the cart page there is a Shipping Quote box that you can use to get a shipping price for your country.

There are a few countries that we do not ship to, so if you don’t get a quote contact me and I’ll let you know specifically whether yours is one of them.
