Difficult times in the run up to Christmas

We are living in difficult times my friends.

The ever increasing cost of living is having a huge impact on all of us, we are not immune to these and the production costs are impacted greatly by the price of Electricity.

Kirkby Printed Creations are proud to use a supplier with 100% renewable energy, but at what cost?

This energy is under constant demand and market forces force the price per hour up and up!

We held off on changing pricing as long as we can but at a point we had to adjust to account for the price of inflation to remain profitable.

Deliveries are likely to be disrupted by the industrial action planned by the Royal Mail throughout November, several of these days are scheduled to disrupt Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Customers who place orders around these dates we will endeavour to minimise the disruption where we can by alternate arrangements or redirecting outgoing mail.

 

Please be patient as this action is outside of our control and like many small businesses we rely on the Royal Mail for our logistics both local and International.

Our best advice is order as early as you can to allow for any delays in production, supply or delivery.

Items which we have to special order in for example such as embroidery may also be subject to delays.

 

Thanks for your understanding

 

Dave,

Kirkby Printed Creations.
