Not right away anyway.... They've delayed their closing..... A little too late? They must have more junk to get rid of...

I'm thinkin' that's what happens when you're stuck with an inventory that NO ONE WANTS! You just, extend the sale!  |

But I'm guessing the boards are closed to new comments, right?

What? Do you have any more details?
But, yeah, I'd say a lot too late. Who the eff pulls a stunt like they did a couple of weeks ago and then changes their mind? WTF?
ETA: I went to the site's main page and there's a big red stamp with "UPDATE BELOW" on it . . . .and no update.
ETA2: Oh hell. Nevermind. I see the new dates. I'm stupid.
Why the hell did any of us put up with them for so long???

Total speculation, but it's likely they owe creditors plenty (it's pretty rare for that not to be the case when a business closes), so if they are getting good revenue from their closing sale, I'm not surprised they extended the date to unload as much inventory as possible.
They are still closing - just a bit later. They've said they are shipping and honoring gift certs, etc., until 7/24.

Yes, I'd be scared to order from them now or conduct any business with them at all given the way this has been handled. It feels random and subject to whim.

Make it 90 percent off or donate it. Their traffic must be waaaay slow...

Do we know if the boards and pea mail will continue to be accessible? I still haven't gone through my saved threads.  And I'm still PMing old peas as I think of them, about the new site. |

I just got an email which says "Access to content and final clearance products extended..." I guess that includes peamail too - can't imagine them bothering to shut down just one bit of the site at this stage. ETA The History of the Peas thread are a good place to find old pea names (some long gone sadly) if your memory is faltering. |

It was pretty dumb to close down the boards while they were trying to have a firesale. Keeping the boards open would have driven TONS of traffic there while everyone lost their minds and tried to make plans to go elsewhere. The way it went down, we all lost our shit and went to Facebook - no reason to go back and look at Two Peas because nothing new was being posted.
The final dumb nail.

I completely understand why they closed down the boards when they did. Some posts on some of the threads on GS over the last couple months discussing what was going on with the site got pretty nasty and disrespectful. I can't imagine how ridiculous they would have been once the announcement was made.

I got my order fine as usual. They are scrimping on the shipping though..Mine came in a small non padded envelope. Not the norm for them. Guess they are really watching the spending

Well we should use this opportunity to email any peas you haven't seen come over yet.

I think 30% off a closing sale is ridiculous! No wonder they still have stock and I agree I wouldn't trust it to go out either.

I can't imagine how ridiculous they would have been once the announcement was made. Doesn't make them any less chickenshit. Right? And it sure didn't prevent people from talking bad about them anywhere else. Thanks for the update. I was thinking that I still needed to save my layouts and hoped I had enough time to do so! |

I agree. It was so abrupt. Basically a "we are closing today" email. I spent almost every day there for more than 13 years. What a sucky ending!

If they had left the boards running at least they'd have more traffic and the possibility of people buying.
I haven't compared pricing - I wonder if there are actual deals or not.

I suspect there has been a spike in viewers on thier servers as people scramble to save their last bits of bookmarked threads, gallery favorites and what not. The Whites are taking it as potential buyers for their non sale.
I wouldn't buy anything from them since they won't give refunds, just "credit" Credit for what from where? They won't be open to use any credits returned.

The message I got said that content would also be available until the new closing date. The forums are still locked but available to view. It will give me longer to sort through old threads for interesting recipes. As for keeping the store open, I have not seen anything of interest. Everything I would want is long gone. The thing I want most is the Wilna classes, which of course they have removed from the possibility of buying.

--------------------------------
That is not true. I read all those posts. People were basically asking 2Ps questions? and were frustrated with the lack of response. They asked admins several times, and emails. Nothing, regarding product, etc. It was never nasty, and it wasn't ANY more disrespectful then the 2Ps treated us the buyers.
I was over there earlier, and was totally LOL'ing a the "overwhelming" response?? ah.....if it was overwhelming then WHY do they still have product??

And I'm still PMing old peas as I think of them, about the new site.
