With the transition to our new warehouse management system, we will no longer include printed packing slips in orders. Most warehouse management systems have eliminated it as an option, including ours. But don’t worry, you’ll still receive a digital packing list!
- As soon as your order is fulfilled and shipped, you’ll get an email with a digital packing list (separate from the tracking email). It includes all the information you currently see on the printed lists.
- To ensure that you receive these emails, save DoNotReply@stampinup.com as a contact in your email address book.
- On your packing list, you will find your order number and container number. That container number is also printed on the side of the box, near the barcode. So, when you receive multiple orders around the same time, you can use the container number to match lists with boxes.
- This change will reduce the amount of paper we use and is another great step toward sustainability and cost management.
- Packing slips were removed from South Pacific orders last year as our distribution center there also discontinued that service.
Of course, if you ever have difficulties, let me know ASAP!!

DISTRIBUTION CENTER UPDATES
May 23, 2023 (Stampin Up Updates)
We’re excited to share a significant change to our North American distribution center—we’re upgrading to a new warehouse management system! Our first full day using the new system is 22 May.
This is an important change for several reasons; here are just a few:
- We’re significantly changing the way we pick and process orders, which will help us improve efficiency.
- The cost of labor, warehousing, fulfillment, and transportation all increase every year. Improving efficiency will help us manage those ever-rising costs.
- This upgraded system provides us with opportunities for continuing improvement in the future.
Of course, every change comes with a learning curve. Our employees have already begun training with the new system, but it’s possible there may be minor shipping delays shortly after launch. It’s also possible that we may experience small system bugs as we move everything over. We’ve been testing on weekends and are working to prepare as best we can, and we’re confident it won’t take long before everything is running smoothly.
IMPORTANT: As part of the preparation for launch, within the next couple of weeks we will begin routing orders to our new system. Until the new system is fully in place, the status of these orders will continue to show as “submitted” rather than updating to “in picking”. Despite the unchanged status, your order will continue through the normal process. Once we have moved everything to the new system, order status updates will return to normal.
We’re committed to a successful launch and will do everything we can to make it as seamless as possible.
