I got six scrapbook kits and 2 documenter kits yesterday. I decided to put everything into this Iris organizer. I took everything out of its original packaging. All of the embellishments (minus the big arse wooden stamps) easily fit right into this organizer. SC charges over $300 for this. This is one 12 x 13 x 1.25 piece of plastic. Add in the paper and it makes it about 2 inches high. How does SC get away with charging so much for these kits? I realize everyone just waits for the big sales now, but who is still buying them for these prices? I've never seen that style of Iris organiser. That's pretty neat. I usually take an Iris box with me on vacations when we are driving. But it's the open style with no compartments and everything is loose. I like the idea of having compartments. Can you also include 12 x 12 paper in the box or is there no room with the organiser? It's funny that you brought up this topic because this weekend I broke down all my old DK kits. I decided instead to have my stamps more readily available than kits as I use my stamps the most. I put the cards into a drawer and all the embellies went into 3 stackable 3 by 4 boxes on my desk and they were no means full and I was thinking the exact the same thing. How the heck did I ever pay full price for some of this stuff because when you collate it together, it's seriously nothing. I guess DK and SB kits are like Louis Vuitton to paper companies. We pay insanely over the odds for it, and it may explain why SC is still in business despite their shenanigans and non stop sales, because they are still laughing all the way to the bank. You can easily fit two of these in one Iris container, or you can put at least an inch of paper underneath it and put this container on the top and snap it closed. I took it on a flight last year.

Finally received a shipping notice, but it's not updated on ups yet so I can't track it. Fingers crossed that it will be here in a couple days since I only live in the state next door.

Yes, that. I got a shipping notice last night too but it’s not active. I know it’s waiting to be scanned by UPS when they actually have it in their possession. I ordered on 12/27 and just now getting my shipping notice. Praying I get all that I ordered. But wouldn't it say "label created, awaiting shipment"? Mine just says no info available. Ugh what a hassle. And our ups delivery guy really pissed me off yesterday, left 15 boxes outside, didn't even try the garage keypad and then left. I had outgoing packages inside. Husband called them which is really unusual for him. He usually makes me handle all phonecalls. Our regular driver has been filling in on other routes so we have a sub and we really don't like him. I had one on December 2 that said no info available for weeks. I started a conversation after a couple of weeks, as it never update, and was assured that it had been sent but they couldn't track it, as it was international. Ten days later, I sent another conversation and a different person responded with the actual tracking information. Basically the first staff member had just made up a story about the tracking and hadn't even bothered to check. Unfortunately by this time, the parcel was half way back to SC, after going half way around the world. The post office said that if I had that info weeks earlier, they would have been able to track the parcel down before it was sent back. Now waiting for a replacement parcel to arrive. Too bad it was all their new Christmas collection...now set to arrive to me mid January.

So tracking says my box is 15.5 lbs. and will be here Monday. FINALLY. Can’t wait to see if it’s all there but the weight sounds promising.

My shipment has finally posted-it says it's 10.4 pounds which is highly likely because I mostly order alpha stickers-like 70 sheets. I have no shame to my hoarding game. The number of alphas I bought is kinda ridiculous! I received my order and all is accounted for. Iris Organizer Tray is a link to a pair of them. I find them a little pricey so I ask for them on my Christmas wish list. They fit in ArtBins too. I have one bin set up with the tray for Disney and one for Christmas. I anticipate I'll need another one for Travel soon.

Well everything is here! I'm shocked! It was supposed to weigh 10 pounds but it felt closer to 15 to me.

And the Maggie Holmes paper pad is way better than the individual pieces were, more vivid colors.

I got my package yesterday, and I live in CA where the freeway has been closed for more than a week. I can't believe how much I got. I now have enough SC supplies to last me until next year at least, all purchased on sale.

I found them at Michaels or JoAnn's several years ago. They were less than $10. Now Amazon sells them for $26.99 a pair. Yikes!

Did you see SC has a free shipping weekend. Sure hope they’ve shipped all parcels from the sale before they have to deal with more orders!

I now have enough SC supplies to last me until next year at least, all purchased on sale. Between this and the mega mega sale, I'd say I got around $1000 in retail value for $200 or less! I'm good for a LONG time lol

I ordered 12/30 and received my complete order today on the west coast. I've never subscribed nor ordered from them before, but I've read enough about them to keep my expectations very low.
I bought mostly documenter kits and was bemused to see that they are normally $29.99. While I liked what I received, I don't think I would even pay half that for these kits. I can see why subscribers complain about the value and are further upset when they have these rock-bottom sales.

I finally got my shipping notice Thursday (and it shows as shipped in my account) with my 16-lb box scheduled to arrive Monday. Tracking shows that it arrived in town early this morning, so I’ Hoping that since it’s UPS Ground it might come today. My AE kit should arrive today too. Go figure.
