I ordered very early. I ordered the planner that was a dollar and four sets of refills. I actually want to use it for some journaling of my OLW. A couple days later I threw in some alphabets and a couple scrapbook kits that were super cheap. If that planner is oversold and I do not get that, I'm going to throw a fit. I only paid that shipping of $10 because the planner and refills were normally $114 and I was going to pay $4 plus the $10 shipping.
My order hasn't shipped that's why I'm getting nervous that I'm going to get the oversold notice and end up paying $10 shipping for stuff I wouldn't have ordered if I wouldn't have got the planner initially.

I understand completely how you feel, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that you don’t get the oversold notice. If you do I would keep opening conversations until you get your 10.00 refund. The worst part is, if you do get an oversold notice that doesn’t really mean they don’t have it. We all know their inventory system is non functional and items that people have gotten over sold notices for before have shown up in later sales. I would love to know how they are shipping orders. Do you think they just printed up all the packing lists and threw them in the air and just had their packers pick any piece of paper and start packing? There certainly doesn’t seem to be any real system to it.

So...my orders are still showing as active, but I have a shipping notice and a 28 lb box coming tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
(and how complicated is their order/shipping system that it's too hard for most people to learn to do correctly?)

Mins is still active but no shipping info yet. I started a convo and was told to watch out for shipping info by early next week.

I received mine today and everything was in it. I ordered pretty early that day of the sale, but not sure why some of you haven't even shipped yet! I have been very vocal about how they run their business, but this was a very good sale as far as I got so much product so it was hard to pass up. Especially since I am basically on a spending freeze in 2018. I hope things go smoothly for those of you who have not received your stuff yet!

I'm just excited to receive my order because with the holidays, no real scrappy packages here and I'm going into withdrawals.
When I ordered from Ali's recent sale, my order shipped and delivered without updating on the web. It just randomly appeared. I'm hoping my SC stuff does the same. Who knows. My citrus twist kits will be here this week too and I'm more excited about that. Lol

To share in the nerves - I have 2/3 of my Inked packages. 1 of those is at the post office. So either my AE sub has got lost in the mail or one of my SC sale orders has.
I’ll find out on Wednesday 😫

Their shipping is so screwed up. I am always a one day point from them. This morning I got an updated delivery day (tomorrow now instead of today). It went from Bowling Green, KY to Nashville, TN. I'm in Ohio, lol. I've never seen a package from them go south first and then come back north. 😕

We have two Amazon warehouses in the suburbs of Indianapolis. Three packages in December were shipped from those warehouses (both places being less than 45 minutes from the delivery address) and all went to Kentucky. Two then came to me, one then went to Ohio then back to me. So bizarre.

It seems like a waste doesn't it? Normally SC packages go from BG to Maumee, OH and then to me.

Yep. No idea why, but it took 2 weeks to travel and the box was in pristine shape. Isn’t that crazy? I actually looked on a map to make sure I knew where Guam was when I was tracking the package because I couldn’t believe it went to Guam en route from LA!

I have like ten orders from the sale and none have shipped. Maybe today. The thing that sucks is you have to check to make sure everything is there. They don't just refund or say oversold. You just don't get it and have to complain to get your money back.

I got a shipping notice this morning and was excited until I realized it was for the new sub I started (using the free code) on Jan 6! Still waiting for my clearance stuff from December to ship.

Not SC but shipping does seem to be weird at the moment - last month’s Cocoa Daisy kit went by ground from MI to CA instead of leaving from Chicago like it usually does, then sat for a week in LA before going to San Francisco where it finally left the country. Then when it got to NZ it was promptly lost by the Post Office and has only just been located. Hopefully it’ll be delivered today but I’m not holding my breath!

I chatted with CS again and was basically told that now they expect orders to ship by the end of the week due to the subscriptions being shipped today. I was also told that if you placed multiple orders, say, one of the first day and then more throughout the bundling period, you could be pushed back in the queue for shipping, but there's no way to track where/when you might be packing. So, you are now being penalized for placing multiple orders, especially those who might have used their extra 20% off at the end of the sale.
It's been said a million times, but how is SC still operating? You can't take into account the fact that you ship subscriptions EVERY month at the same time you might have to ship a big batch of sale stuff? Then you can't have your "new and improved" shipping handle the fact that someone placed bundled orders and it then pushes them to the END OF THE FUCKING QUEUE and means they might not get their orders because you are notorious for overselling?
I'm so done with them. I skipped the BF sale and then got tangled up in this sale and I'm done. Never again.

I think I might be used to slow shipping - one of my other hobbies routinely takes a month to ship out to me, so I am now trained to be way too patient. Anyway, FWIW, I ordered on the 29th and 30th and I'm still listed as active with no shipping notice. I certainly wouldn't expect to move to the front of the line ahead of the people who ordered super early, but hey, there's a late data point to add to the mix. And a reminder of why I don't pay full price at Studio Calico.

That is a bunch of crap I made 12 different orders and I shipped apparently before anybody else on here . I’m also pretty ticked because the very first order I placed was for the Laina alphabetand and guess what I got today in the email? Yep, a notice saying that it was oversold and they were refunding me my 399. My order shipped last week, and was one of the early ones to go out. How could it have been oversold, and why did it take them so freaking long to notify me? I wonder if people who ordered after me got one? It is my own fault for ordering with them, but I am pretty annoyed anyway.

I inquired about my shipping today too. I was just looking for an approximate timeline.
I was told that since I didn't order until late in the sale, that I would be shipping at the end.
I responded with:
The sale was from December 26-31. I placed my first order (planner) on December 26 at 3:32 PM-day one of the sale. I placed my last order (alphabets) on December 28 at 11:44 AM.
I do not consider that placing my order late in the sale. It was a total canned answer (which was part of their survey questions) and then after my response of not thinking the 26 and 28 was "late" if the sale went until the 31, I got a "thanks for your patience".
I really will only be annoyed if I get an oversold notice for the only thing I really want, but I don't understand if you know things are an issue, send out a survey about them, and then keep doing it.

I figured shipping would be slow but knowing they are not going in order and they oversold stuff, now I am getting a bit perturbed. Mine still shows active for my two orders. Praying everything is in stock and that it ships soon but not holding my breath.

Mine arrived yesterday (in 2 boxes!) and everything was there except for one small stamp set. I got the email about that as I was checking my order. Creepy LOL! I have a whole lot of fun stuff to play and I'm happy with my order overall.

I've never seen a package from them go south first and then come back north. 😕 My SC packages always seem to stop in Nashville, then they head to Buffalo (sometimes another stop in the middle, I can’t remember where) and I live 6 hours southeast from Buffalo in New York State, so it’s completely illogical.

Mine is out for delivery today. I have a total of 3 orders. One medium order I would say and then two small ones. I am used to SC's dysfunction so whatever I get I get lol. ihaveonly1l I ordered 3 of the Heidi Swapp/SC (whatever they were lol) planners. I'd be happy to send you one if you don't get one in your order.

Mine are still active and my last order was placed the morning of the 27th. I cannot imagine the chaos in their warehouse, especially having to set everything aside to get subscriptions out. I'll be ticked, too, if I end up with oversold items. There were a few items that were limited quantities when I bought and of course are the things I want most. Wth is the deal with their inventory control?? You would think it would have improved when they changed their shipping process.
