Our people<\/span><\/h3>\n

Our priority remains the health and well-being of our team, fulfilment partners and our community. It goes without saying that we\u2019re respecting every government guideline, and following all new advice closely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our partners and supply chain<\/h3>\n

We face a tricky few weeks ahead. Our garment suppliers, printers and delivery partners are bound by the same challenges facing everyone at this time. Already our total production capacity <\/span>has been halved,<\/span> and although we still have the capacity to print thousands of items each week, we are preparing for further limitations in the coming days and weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are seeing some of our major garment suppliers suspending work until the situation stabilises. As a result, we will need to get creative, finding alternative garment options for our creators. Your patience and flexibility would be hugely appreciated here.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, we\u2019re experiencing delivery delays to countries with extra restrictions, including Italy and Spain. Understandable at a time like this, we expect further delays as the scenario unfolds but will keep you posted. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Coming Weeks<\/b><\/h3>\n

We ask for your continued patience through this period of global difficulty. It bears repeating that any T-shirt you buy during this period has a value that goes far beyond its price-tag. If ever there was a time for people to get behind independent creatives trying to shake things up, it’s now.<\/p>\n

For our creators<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • If push comes to shove, we plan to extend the pre-order period to a minimum of 8 weeks<\/strong>, allowing us more time to get our supply chain back on track<\/li>\n
  • You\u2019ll be able to continue to crowdfund orders on your Everpress campaigns as normal<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • You\u2019ll get paid your profits at regular intervals throughout the 8 week period<\/strong>, to ensure campaign profits can be put to use<\/li>\n
  • Buyers will be asked for patience and to understand that any purchase made throughout this period should be valued far-beyond the price-tag. If ever there was a time for consumers to get behind independents trying to shake things up, it\u2019s now<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    We’re constantly monitoring this situation, and will continue to keep you posted on any updates and changes as it continues. There is no playbook for navigating a situation like this, and we t<\/span>hank you for bearing with us through it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
