Sliding panels are now available to order again from our Roller Shade and Woven Wood Collections.
We have made some adjustments to the options and logistics for sliding panels. See below for details.
ROLLER SHADE VALANCE OPTIONS
We have discontinued the dust cover valance for Roller Shade Sliding Panels. As an alternative, we suggest ordering our Box Valance or Fabric Valance. Our product guide has been updated to reflect this change and can be downloaded below.
The Woven Wood valance option will remain the same.
SHIPPING
To expedite the shipping process for sliding panels, we have changed the way they are shipped. Fabric panels and valances will be shipped directly to you from the factory. Tracks will be shipped directly to you from the fabricator.
This means your sliding panel order will now arrive in two parts. You will receive separate tracking information for the panels and valances and separate tracking information for the tracks. Please make sure all the parts of your order are received before scheduling installations.
With this new shipping process, the production time for sliding panels will match the standard production time. Up-to-date production times can always be found in the Franchisee Toolkit.

We would like to thank you for your patience as we have been working through the production of our new Natural Shade Collection sample book, and we apologize for the production delay.
We have seen such incredible growth from our woven wood factory over the past year, thanks to your continued support of our collections. As we grew, it was important for us to know that our factory had production and communications regarding your orders under control. As a result, we prioritized your orders to make sure that we and the factory were taking care of you and your customers.
Sample book production did become delayed in this process, but we are pleased to announce that book production is now well underway. We expect to begin shipping books by no later than January, and we will be shipping book orders in the order they were received.
With these new books, we are adding 23 new natural shade fabrics, 4 new colors of edge binding, and a new light filtering black liner. Keep in mind, these updates will only be offered in the new books, and will not be available in a sample pack update.
Please remember should you choose to continue working from our current Woven Wood or Natural Woven Collection sample books, all the fabrics shown in these books will remain available until December 2022.

WOVEN WOOD AND NATURAL WOVEN COLLECTIONS
We were made aware this week of production delays on five high volume patterns in our Woven Wood Collection. They are:
Alton Natural
Nassau White Sand
Sanibel Flax
Sanibel Wheat
Morocco Inkwash
Current orders in these patterns will be delayed. If you have a current order with us in one of these patterns, we have reached out to you separately with more detailed information about your order.
New orders for these patterns will require an 8-week production time until the factory builds back inventory. All delayed patterns are currently being woven, and we have sufficient raw materials to weave them. We will be switching more looms to these popular patterns to meet the demand, restock our inventory, and avoid any future delays.
Unfortunately, weaving got behind because of power outages at the factory’s major yarn supplier, and because these patterns are slow to weave, the lack of yarn has backed up production for orders.
We apologize sincerely for the late notice on orders we already have in house. We have talked to the factory several times this week, and they have adjusted their ERP system and how it calculates material needs to improve the accuracy of forecasting in the future. They have committed to keeping us better informed going forward.
Please note we will also be extending the production time for our Woven Wood and Natural Woven Collections to 4 weeks. All patterns in both collections that are not included on the list above have roll goods in stock and a 4-week production time.

We regret to inform you that our stock of Smart Home Collection hubs has been depleted for our shade collections.
We are working closely with the hub manufacturer to replenish our stock of hubs, and will advise the restock date once it is confirmed.
If you have a current Smart Home Collection hub on order with us, your hub will be shipped normally.
Until our stock of Smart Home Collection hubs has been replenished, please order hubs through Rowley, or consider ordering Inspired Shades standard motor options with the Connector Hub.

We are currently experiencing longer than usual transit times with orders that ship through Shanghai with UPS. While our production times remain stable for our shade collections, you may find that tracking numbers take an additional 10-14 days to move after the order has been turned over to UPS.
This is due to shipping backlogs caused by COVID 19 related shutdowns that are slowing UPS' shipping capacity.
Starting September 15, we will begin noting order and shipment confirmations with a reminder about these shipping delays.
You will continue to receive order confirmations that include your order's expected ship date from our factory; this date reflects our current production time. You will also receive shipping confirmations with tracking information once the order has been shipped from our factory and is received by UPS or DHL.
Once tracking information is received for your order, please allow an additional 10-14 days to see movement on the package. As always, we advise to hold on scheduling installation appointments until you have orders in hand.
