April "Sakura Cafe" Stationery Box DELAYED SHIPPING

6/10/2026: Replacement items have finally arrived! Packing and shipping process has started and will take about 3 days to complete. Thank you so much for the patience!

5/23/2026: No updates regarding boxes stuck in customs. We have now decided to remake all the missing subscription items and have them expedited to us. The remake will take 10-15 business days and expedited shipping will take an additional 3-5 days (if no customs delays). New estimated shipping timeline will be early June.

5/11/2026: We currently have 2 boxes of our April stationery items stuck in customs since April 9. We have continued monitoring the tracking closely, but at this time, April subscription shipments will unfortunately be delayed until further notice.

At the moment, the only items we have on hand are the washi tapes. If you are subscribed only to the washi tape tier and do not plan to shop the Secret Shop or combine shipping, feel free to email us at hello@sumlilthings.com - I can ship your washi tapes out on the normal schedule.

3/24/2026: Due to a manufacturing issue where several designs were produced in incorrect colors, part of our punch stamp order is being remade to meet our quality standards. This remake will extend our timeline, and the updated estimated ship-out date is now end of April. We sincerely apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience as we ensure everything is up to standard.

3/16/2026: Due to Lunar New Year closures at our manufacturers, factories are currently working hard to complete backlogged orders. Our manufacturer updated us on March 16 that the shipment will ship out from the factory at the end of March. Shipping from the factory to our studio takes approximately 1.5 weeks. The updated estimated shipping date for preorders is now mid-April 2026. Thank you so much for your patience while we wait for the shipment to arrive - we’re excited to get these into your hands as soon as they reach our studio!
