Preorders allow you to secure popular GE Designs items before they arrive. Because many involve fabric production, they follow different timelines than regular in-stock orders.
Here’s everything you need to know.
1. What Is a Preorder?
A preorder is an item purchased before it is in stock.
Preorders are common for:
-
Fabric-based kits
-
Retreat boxes
-
Books and pattern collections
-
Seasonal boxes (Advent, Holiday, etc.)
2. When Will My Preorder Ship?
Every preorder has a ship window listed on the product page.

3. Why Ship Dates Sometimes Change
Ship windows may shift due to:
-
Fabric mill delays
-
Vendor production timing
-
Freight/labor delays
-
Large quantities during peak season
When this happens, we update:
-
The product page
-
The Status Page
-
Verbally on our Tipsy Tuesday and Happy Friday shows.
We prefer transparency — even if dates move.
4. Combined Shipping (Preorder + In-Stock Items)
If your order includes both preorder and in-stock items:
✔ Your entire order ships together
This prevents double shipping charges and keeps your order consolidated.
If you want to get the in-stock item immediately, then ensure you place your orders seperately.
5. Updating Your Shipping Address
You can update your address before your label is created.
