Anyone subscribe to citrus twist?
I am considering subscribing but the cost as an international could become too much if I get caught by customs.
I have picked up this months PL kit though to give a go.
Please share any and all thoughts on CT with me!

I have looked at CT as well- I am in Australia so shipping always high although no customs/tax
Somehow I don't like it as much maybe Hip kit (except for the pink)

I have subbed in the past (until my kits starting to overtake my storage) and really loved them. Wonderful customer service always, shipping was fast internationally and I would definitely look again in the future.

Great customer service. I bought 6 months of kits but ended up taking them apart because I don't think she dies a good job coordinating. They really didn't work for me

The kits have lots of neat products and cool extras like velum, ribbon, book pages, etc. I like them because you get some "outside the box" sort of things. You also get a decent amount of product.
They are my least favorite of my 3 kit subscriptions, though, because the stuff just doesn't coordinate very well. It seems really random- no color palette or theme or anything to make it go together. I end up splitting up the kit and use it to supplement my other kits.

I did sub for awhile and liked their kits a lot! I quit since I was trimming my budget at that time and kits were piling up. I did keep my SC kit (which I still have) and haven't gotten around to signing up for CT again yet. What I notice is their kits are a little more pastel/feminine that I want so frequently and while I love their stamps, they also don't have a lot of variety in their style. Their kits are a better value than SC, in my opinion. I especially loved the little bag of embellishments you would get from CT - it was always a good quantity and variety - just right for a monthly kit.

Interesting, thanks so much everyone. Perhaps it's a good thing I didn't commit to a sub at this stage. I've tried a CT kit before but that was about a year ago and I didn't love it. But I regularly buy from the shop and have been happy with my purchases.
I hadn't noticed that the kits weren't that well co-ordinated. I am mainly looking for good quality, well designed pocket page cards and a good mix of embellishments.

I also used to sub to the SB kit and agree about the lack coordination issues. IMO it started (or at least started increasing) once CT started introducing exclusive papers. I stopped my sub as a result.
Fantastic CS though!

I'm a current subber and love them so much I added the pocket kit too! So I guess I'm no help!

I subbed for a few months but I found the kits looked the same to me and I got bored pretty quick.
The website also DROVE ME NUTS. I could never find what I wanted and it seemed so confusing to me.

Agreed It took me a long time to get over the, have to email to get a shipping quote and invoice thing. I like to add products to my basket and umm and ahh over them. But I've loved the shop products I've bought so much that I can look past it. |

Just reviving this thread. I decided not to subscribe but instead buy one off kits that I like the look of. The difference in price is only $5. I just LOVE the embellishments from this club. I don't have to think about how to use them! Their ephemera pieces are great too and easy to use. www.citrustwistkits.com/kits.phpI just purchased this months Pocket Life kit. |

julie5 How long does it take for your kit to ship? I’m a bit worried because on my order confirmation email it said ‘December 2017 Kit’ but I thought my one off purchase was for the Nov 17 Kit. Also haven’t heard anything about it being shipped.

Also haven’t heard anything about it being shipped. I just went and looked and I think the pocket kits are sold out for this month. When I tried to buy one as a one off, it said December in my cart. Definitely email her. These last few months have been selling out. I think her usual shopping day is the 5th, but with that falling on a weekend it got pushed back. I haven't gotten my shipping notice yet. Good luck, I hope this works out ok! |

I just started getting the PL kit last month (Oct). I don't buy it to be a kit, I separate everything as soon as I get it. I just want a variety of products to expand my horizon.  I received my Nov kit yesterday (Nov 6th). Which shocked me. |

I’m looking forward to this months! |

I just checked my paypal and it says Dec 17 there too. That’s really naughty and unfair if it lets you check out on the kit at its one off price and doesn’t make it 100% clear you’re receiving next months kit. Wahhhh. I’ve emailed Trina but I’m not holding out any hope now  |

I emailed Trina and she managed to find me a Nov kit after she had finished packing the other orders. Feeling good right now but also need to make sure in future I double check what kit is going into my basket. 👍

I just ordered the kits and some extras as well. It should be here soon.... it was super great to get a direct response from an email in very little time. And she answered some of my questions too. Love the CS, which is more than I can say for some other kits.  |

I had an order dispatched from CT on the 28th of January and have seen no sign of it, the USPS tracking wasn't updating so I had succumbed to the idea that my package had been lost in the mail. I was going to wait til 28th February before I really resigned to that fact, but I decided to check the tracking on the off chance today.
It took my parcel TWO WEEKS to go from Washington to California. TWO WEEKS.
Sigh!

Completely different experience from another seller - I ordered some felt off Etsy for my Christmas ornaments. It shipped from Illinois and has arrived in NZ 6 days later. That's the kind of shipping I like!

Just couldn't stand the delay. I am just absolutely baffled because I’ve got packages from CT in something ridiculous like five days before. This package seems to have taken an odd route too, my package usually ships from San Francisco. We shall see. As long as it arrives I’ll be relieved. |

It took 2 weeks or more to get from Minnesota to Ohio. I finally sent a new package and that one arrived in just a few days. It's so crazy. |

After taking two weeks to get to Los Angeles - my package is now in London. I feel full of hope that I will have it early Mon/Tues next week. Just a shame it will take a miracle from Royal Mail for me to have it this weekend to play!! |

This is me, I ordered the pocket kit and while I didn’t mind what I got for the price and I like most things in the kit. I felt like every kit was too similar. I kept it the required four months and then quit. I ha e tons of stuff left and to be honest I can’t tell what goes with what month. |
