The notice was so short - I wonder if there were September kits planned or if all the designers knew that the club was closing and just kept quiet about it? That is a good question. I don't think they knew from what I have read on the FB page from the TN and Pocket Page designer. I imagine they must have had a contract and get paid for their design work even if it isn't used, but what a bummer. I just want to know when the sale will go live. Seems like it would have been easy for Lori to at least tell us if there was a specific time or at least a time of day. I hope everything is alright with her. This seems very uncharacteristic.

Idk why but I am kind of having a bad feeling about this... I feel bad for those who subbed just for the chance just to shop early. Meh, I still want the 3 kits I didn't have, so I am okay...Just 2 to go now.

Maybe a coupon code would have been easier?

I have really bad luck with online sales and seem to miss out a lot. I arranged my day so I had internet access this morning but I probably won't later today. - I have a stone-age mobile phone so no internet shopping when I'm not home!

I sort of did this (I wanted to pick up the sub, but was motivated by the chance to shop early). My sub shipped out the same day I signed up and will arrive tomorrow, so I'm not concerned at all by that. I do hope to get a stab at any sales before the general public and have been stalking here, FB and the GB website.

Has anyone actually contacted Lori about the sale?

I've never shopped at GB before, so I decided to take a quick look, since you guys are sad about it closing. There is NOTHING on the site about it closing. Nothing. Subs start with the August kit, but I don't see any notice that it was the last (?) kit they would do. I clicked around a few other pages, the shop, sale pages, the about page, and over to the blog and still, nothing. I don't think they're trying to be dodgy, but I would be really annoyed if I was a random customer signing up for a kit club that was about to close down. I would have at least expected a notice on the home page or the blog announcing that they were done.

If anyone would be willing to sell their rubber pieces from the Scrapbook kits from June and July I would gladly buy them! Also interested in the June SB stamp. Nevermind I was able to get the kits I wanted thanks to the pea who helped with the checkout info.

It's working now...the kits are marked down...not all of the other things in the shop are, yet, though. If there is anything you definitely don't want to miss out on, you should go check out. She finally replied to my email and said she'd be done updating by 4pm. ETA: 4pm Pacific time.

Have fun shopping, subbers! Hope you find what you want or need. Tagging roberta who might still have Internet access at the mo'.

I might order more, but for now I got June TN kit (adding July made my shipping double, so if I want just that, I'll go check out again later since it's only $3.88 by itself to ship), June/July/August Mains, 2 June LP and 1 July LP. My August sub is also due to arrive earlier than expected...it's out for delivery now. I'm considering going back for doubles of the June and July SB kits...shipping for them along with July TN is no different than it would have been if I had added them to my first order. I'm going to sit on it, though...if I do go for it, I might have to forego getting the Distress Oxides as I was waiting to check out to find prices and how much I wanted to order. All in all, I'm out just under $100 right now that I really couldn't afford to spend (but in my mind, I couldn't afford not to, either). Main SB's are $15 (was hoping for $10 but no complaints) and all the other kits are $10.

Darn it, I wonder if she would combine shipping if we checked out twice?

Thanks for the heads up, I've been waiting for the notice too. What happened to early access if you're a subber? The sale seems to be active for everyone?

I can't see my cart at all... is that just me or is that the case for everyone?

scrapaddict702 Since I spend my own money on scrapbooking, I'd just be hurting myself too if I used shopping as a quick fix. Sex strike is more effective... (or spending way too many hours beating his top score on his favourite game if you like your revenge served nice and icy like me)

I think she hid it to make it harder to check out so she can keep marking things down...if you click on an item to add to cart from the thumbnails, you can't see it. If you go into the details for that item and add it to your cart, it will say 'view cart'...you can click on that link to get there.

Perhaps my guess earlier about her struggling to make it subber only for a week being a likely reason for the delay was correct? At any rate, it doesn't kill me that I spent a bit more to get the August kit...sounds like she could use the money to help move to her next venture.

Okay, thanks. Wow, shipping is crazy expensive unless you check out one kit at a time...

Okay, thanks. Wow, shipping is crazy expensive unless you check out one kit at a time... It depends on where you are. I get zone shipping because I'm only one state over, so even when it's expensive, it's nothing compared to what other people have to pay. Mine didn't get any higher than $18 (the last time she had a $10 kit sale, I was able to get 10 kits for under $10 in shipping...this time I couldn't get more than 7 without it jumping to $15 for 8 and it went up from there), but I understand that it can be pricey for other parts of the country. I just figure that it's such a good price (50% off if you factor the prices at the subscription rate) it's not so bad.

This is nuts. I just bought 5 different kits between 4 orders to save big time on shipping.

Did she trick people into subbing on the premise that they got early sale access? During reveal she marks things so only subscribers can see them until launch on the first. Given the delay on the sale going live and limited information provided beforehand, I think it's less likely she was trying to trick people and more likely she overestimated the capabilities of her website.

It's $9 flat rate on my third order. I wish that happened earlier so I didn't have to do my first two orders separately

I think she could have avoided a lot of this by communicating it a lot better. Ugh.
