I usually get my stuff shipped within a couple days. Unless I order around a huge sale. And funny I'm in canada and I usually have it in 4 to 5 business days. I'm 10 hrs from ohio.

kstampin I'm afraid to try heat, and if I could get one up enough to get a grip, I could get the rest up. I picked up a set of plastic pallet knives tonight, I'm hoping if I can get under an edge I can use that as a lever without damaging the stamp. Cross your fingers for me! JustTricia If yours come right up, would you please lmk? I'll call them and try to get an exchange if I just have a messed up set.

OMFG... So...I ordered the stamps I wanted right away and paid full shipping. My old free-gift coupon had expired, and they sent me a new one literally RIGHT after I ordered. Heidi's bday was 2 days after, so I missed the free die, too. Then I get my stamps and can't peel one set off the backing. I really wanted the Altenew limited edition, but I couldn't rationalize $7 in shipping on ONE set of stamps when postage is $2.70ish, so I was waiting for a few more LE sets to come out, plus I needed to get paid. Then last night I get my "birthday" coupon for signing up for their newsletter last year, 10% off a purchase in the next 24 hours (who knew?). I was driving, didn't get home until late, and had to put my money in the bank this morning to order my stamp, but I figured yay...that'll help offset shipping, and I had other stamps I wanted so woohoo! No. FML. I put my money in the bank, log in, and they're sold out unless I want to pay $55 to get the dies. SERIOUSLY? I gave up and sent my Altenew money to a Texas rescue to remind myself there are people with REAL problems, but I'm still annoyed by the whole thing. *sigh* Then, as if my day isn't sucking enough, I was putting my Spectrum Noirs in order by color family, and I'M MISSING TN8. I have them all. I have the color swatched in. I own the bloody marker and I KNOW it, but clearly the marker does not! I have checked under all my furniture, in all my drawers, on my shelves, behind my jars...it's GONE. The marker has never left my room. If I can't find it by bedtime tonight, I'm ordering a replacement because the hole is driving me nuts. And my mail came and I'd ordered a stamp and die SET from somewhere...they sent me the dies and no stamp because it went out of stock. WTF??? A stamp with no die, ok. But wtf am I going to do with a die to stamps I wanted but don't own? (The adorable N&T birthday set.) Oh...and my ex-SIL who stole a bunch of stuff from me came into my work today...and I was sweet and cheery and gave her the best service I could but...just ew. My day HAS to get better right?

Thanks. I ordered my marker. The hole will still drive me nuts, but at least I know it's coming! DH, my mother and kids all offered to pitch in the second I mentioned it. I might be a bit anal. O.o

lisacharlotteLoL...I know I will, and then it will annoy me to have 2. But it won't show up until about 3 days after the new one arrives, and I have a plan. I'm taking it to work to be abused as a common Sharpie. Hopefully that scares the rest of them into submission and they stay put where they should!

I ordered September 1st. Since it was a holiday weekend I didn't expect anything to happen with it until at Tuesday at the earliest. I just logged in and checked and it's still "processing".

So...today's exclusive release is a Tim Holtz set. STAMPTEMBER $34.95 This is Tim's regular SA release STAMP STENCILThe stamp set seems to be a resized compilation of several sheets, I only showed one. The snowman is out in 2 different sizes in the regular release, the little border strip at the bottom is available as a full background, the sayings are from another sheet. I kind of like the LE Tim set, but I'm still getting over my annoyance with all the freebie/mailing/no-altenew-for-you drama and can't decide if I like it enough to pay and extra $7 postage. Has anyone found a $5 coupon yet, and what do you guys think of the new release? Worth it? ETA: You can see Tim's full release HERE to see were the different stamps are from and get an idea for the size difference.

My order from the 4th is doin' nut n' honey. Now I know not to expect it for an even longer time. You'd think by now they'd realize the volume of orders received during Stamptember and staff accordingly.

Giants Fan I received my order with the Lawn Fawn otters on Saturday. Think I ordered on the 4th. I'm in Ohio, so that probably helped a little. Have only ordered from them twice now, but fairly quick so far. Thanks to work being insanely busy I haven't had the brain power or energy to play with my stuff yet. Will probably have to wait until the four day retreat I'm going on Thursday. 😊

You'd think by now they'd realize the volume of orders received during Stamptember and staff accordingly. That's the other reason I'm trying to decide if I want to order. I watched the video, and seeing the size differences is great, but ugh...how long am I going to be waiting if I order at this point? ETA: melissa2day We cross posted. Thanks for the update on your shipping time!

I stopped shopping at SSS. I don't even bother to look at their branded stuff because I know it will take 2+ weeks to get an order from them (I live in CA). I started shopping at Scrapbooks.com (they are in AZ) and I can order something Thursday night and it will be delivered on Saturday. That's hard to beat! Agreed. I've been using scrapbook.com a lot more. I've only ordered from SSS maybe three times and it took them forever to ship. Considering the amount of money they charge for shipping, which IMHO is outrageous, that package should be sent out within a day or two of ordering. I also don't like they don't do anything shipping wise for Stamptember. I mean, if you want to get something before it sells out you're stuck paying for shipping everytime you want to make an order. No thanks. I just ordered something last week and received it today (3 days processing, they mailed it on Friday) but I think that'll be my last order with them, esp since I can get whatever they are selling from either scrapbook.com (who has always been awesome) or Amazon.

Unless it is an SSS exclusive, I stopped shopping there. I hate having to pay a lot for SLOW shipping. I have been shopping at Butterfly Reflections Ink - they have everything, a great rewards program where you get spendable points right away (don't have to spend a ton to get $5 off) and NOBODY ships faster than they do. I can order by noon on Thursday and it is always here on Saturday. My last order, they literally shipped within 30 minutes. Oh, and they do offer free shipping at like $70, but otherwise, the shipping is reasonable and FAST.

I'm in NC, ordered the Altenew Stamp set on the 6th and got it today. Oddly enough, I placed an order on the 3rd and it still hasn't been shipped I caved and bought the Tim Holtz set because I truly love it- last year I talked myself out of it. Sorry you had such a lousy day moraie, hopefully you had a couple of nice days in between!

Am I the only one still waiting for my Lawn Fawn Stamptember set? It must be a good one, because it's been cooking since 5am EST on the 4th!

kstampin I'm afraid to try heat, and if I could get one up enough to get a grip, I could get the rest up. I picked up a set of plastic pallet knives tonight, I'm hoping if I can get under an edge I can use that as a lever without damaging the stamp. Cross your fingers for me! JustTricia If yours come right up, would you please lmk? I'll call them and try to get an exchange if I just have a messed up set. I received my order placed 9-3 today. I tried all the hats and a couple of the sentiments. They were tough to peel up, but I was able to. I'm glad I read your post about it; I probably would have pulled them up like I do any other set and torn the stamp. I wonder if yours are defective? The order didn't come with a coupon code like it has in the past.

JustTriciaThanks for letting me know how yours are. I've gotten the large words up, but I can only do one at a time because it takes so long and I start losing my patience. I don't want to rip one because I'm frustrated. If I can't them all peeled up by the end of the week, I think I'll call.
