Just curious if anyone is buying anything at 2peas?

No way! I would be worried about them taking the money and then getting nothing or defective merchandise.

I'm not. Mainly b/c they went about this the way they did. Gave no heads up and locked us out of the threads. Those of us on the swap board have no way to communicate. Some of the swappers only check in on their phone so they don't know to check peamail. It's made it a NIGHTMARE to make sure the swappers are completing their obligations. As a current hostess, it makes me furious and makes my job near impossible.

Definitely not!

Not really, I bought a stamp I had been wanting and that's it **shrugs** the site was acting crazy and a lot of stuff was sold out. I figured I might as well save my money and shop elsewhere.

I did place an order the day they announced the closing. I'd already had some things in my cart, and then I added a couple more things. Things were going VERY fast. By the time I was ready to check out I only had $15 worth of product. I submitted it and then got a 502 Gateway error, so I shut down and said 'screw it', but then I got an email that the order did go through. It was a moment of panic, and I regretted it the second I got the confirmation email. As the day went on I was even more disappointed I gave them my money. Thankfully it was only $22 but still...not my finest moment, lol!

Nope, plenty of other places to spend money.

Nope. Not even if they offered free shipping.

Nope, I don't trust them. The situation with the classes sucks. While I figured out how to save them. They could have figured out a way to get the videos to the people that paid for them. I'm sure there will be a lot of people that won't realize there are ways to download videos.

So I don't trust that they will deliver an order. Or if something goes wrong, it would be a hassle to get it straight.

No. I dislike paying for shipping and what happens if they don't hold up their end of the deal? Just too much hassle on my end then.

I did some extensive looking in the store today,and there really isn't much left.

JamH

Nope. Having read some of the posts over the past few months regarding damaged paper and missing items I figured it just wasn't worth the gamble.

I looked, put a few things in my cart then said "do I really need this". I didn't.

I just happened to be online when they sent out the closing email, and I had stuff in my bucket so I immediately scooped up some deals on products I had wanted anyway. I got a lot of items, including newer collection kits and stamps at a good discount, so I decided to eat the shipping cost. I placed my order within 20 minutes of the newsletter going out, and I received it two days later in a USPS Priority box. The order was complete, packed well, no problems.

I am saddened that the site has ended this way, the store essentially being run into the ground by bad business choices and customer service issues. I have gained so much creative inspiration and learned so much from the Garden Girls, the videos, the gallery and the message board, all of which I understand are very expensive to maintain. I was happy to support the site, which provided so much "free" content to so many. I think that once the issues with the store started too many shoppers left, and the cost to maintain the "free" content just wasn't sustainable. I do not have experience running an online business, so I can't speak to what should have been done differently to stem the tide, but I am sad that such a great community has ended this way.
