nicolep Have you ever gotten their grab bags before? Shipping was $9.99 for 2 bags. I was looking at #2/3 that said 'at least one 3x4' and 'multiple embellishments'. I wondered if the value would be worth the shipping since they have no value reference.

I wondered if the value would be worth the shipping since they have no value reference. Yes, I bought a $10 stamp grab bag from them during the BF sales last fall. I was really happy with it! I looked up my order and I only paid $3 shipping for it though. Maybe the embellies in these grab bags weigh more? Here's the $10 grab bag I got then.  |

nicolep Did you order today? How much was your shipping today? It only guarantees "at least 1 stamp", and it's not called a stamp grab bag, which is why I'm hesitating. Shipping just seems really high.

Thanks. If it was $3 shipping, I already would have ordered. I guess I was ordering 1 and 2? The ones with the 3x4 and embellishments, not the 4x6 and papers.

It's tell me $10.28 for Priority for grab bag 2 and 3. Yikes. That is high IMO.

Ok, so basically it looks like if you order more than 1 bag your First Class option goes away. I would place 2 separate orders and pay for First Class shipping on each.  moraie |

Every time they do a good sale and I try to order, I always get exorbitant shipping, so I've never ordered from them. I always want to because all the sneaks and stuff people post look wonderful, but with no approximate value or guarantees, it just seems like a lot to risk. I always have such crap luck with grab bags, I guess I'm super skeptical! |

nicolep That helped, thanks. I just ordered one. I may go back later, but for $12.77, I don't mind trying them out!

It wouldn't let me log in, either. I created an account when you first posted, never got an email confirmation, and it won't let me log in, but it tells me I have an account. *sigh* I used my backup email. I wish I'd seen your refreshing thing before I paid!
ETA: I tried to send a ticket, and it won't let me. I just can't win with them today!

I love everything GB has been putting out recently and have no self control. I just bought one of each of the grab bags. My shipping was $6.83 for all 3 (priority), but I am in California.

Someone in the FB group asked whether the embellishments were from the SB or LP kits and GB responded saying they are mostly overstock from the Planner kits. Bah, I do not decorate my planner and hope I don't get a bunch of paper clips or things I can't use.

My grab bags came yesterday. I got one of each kind. I've never subscribed to GB but have picked up occasional kits/pieces from previous sales so I was surprised to get a duplicate stamp and some other duplicates from a Feb kit. A lot of embellishments seem to be from planner kits. I wish I had known that before I purchased because I probably wouldn't have bought them. I ended up with paper clips and some planner-related stickers that I won't be able to use. I'm somewhat disappointed, but understand this is the risk with grab bags.

I got the 2 bags with smaller stamps. Each bag had 1 2x2 and 1 3x4 stamp, then 4-5 other items that were planner stuff except 1 sheet of puffies and a set of paper clips. I wouldn't have ordered if the description said planner. When something says embellishments, I by default figure it's scrapbook/card making. I've always wanted to see the quality of their stuff, and it did at least give me a chance to check it out and see if it's a place I'd ever want to sub or buy. |
