Some things are worth the wait

I want to personally say a huge and heartfelt thanks to the first people to get behind my idea for a personal shopping trolley,

Your willingness to invest in Shoppacart before the first trolley had even rolled off the assembly line gave us the support and confidence to turn our big dream into reality. The interest generated via our initial Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign, followed by strong advance online sales inspired us to make some design improvements to the Shoppacart prototype. While this meant delaying our production plans by several months, we felt it was worth waiting a little longer to end up with something truly amazing.

What we couldn’t have predicted was a global pandemic, which has impacted everything from manufacturing capacities and material availability to international shipping schedules. Add a worldwide shipping container shortage into the mix and you have a timeline disaster.

What started as a small delay blew into a month on month waiting game which I understand has been frustrating for everyone who has bought a Shoppacart. I sincerely apologise for any inconvenience and want to let you know that our first two shipping containers have finally arrived. Our warehouse team is working to fill orders as quickly as possible based on the available supply and the order in which they were received.

So if you happen to see someone happily pushing a Shoppacart in your local supermarket please rest assured yours won’t be too much longer. We are eagerly anticipating additional shipping containers docking shortly and will keep dispatching the trolleys as soon as they hit the shore.

We hope you all can stick with us for a little longer as we know that as soon as you receive your Shoppa Cart you’ll agree it was worth the wait.

Kind regards,

Jeanne O’Donnell
Founder & Director of Shoppacart
