Wow Rockermorsans's comment on that constructive criticism thread is like being scolded by your mom! I really hope that she re words it! I really like and respect Magdalena a lot, but her comment really rubs me the wrong way.

I get an iced Americano - shot of espresso & water on ice. Doesn't come with syrup. This is also my drink. I'll add cream and cinnamon, and it is so good!

kellyv checked my mail today and got your awesome parcel! The dividers are so much cuter in person than I imagined. I love them and will use them with lots of love and gratitude. Thank you so much for sending them my way. I appreciate it with all my heart.

Ugh. That sucks. I hope you get to feeling better, too. I've been fighting feeling like crap for the past month - we went to an amusement park and spent a lot of time in the water area and my husband is convinced the water made us all sick. I've had low grade fevers off and on and last weekend it finally spiked high enough to go to the doctor. Coughing, short of breath and chest pain and still having the fevers and am so worn out. Takes me twice as long to do my regular work. I've been on 2 different antibiotics and I'm so over this! I had a chest x-ray last week to rule out pneumonia and they did a flu test and strep test. I had no idea bronchitis did this. :/ Totally sucky. yikes! A month? Jesus.

Make Halloween Cards Start designing Christmas cards Keep plugging away on PL Make a few more LO's from my Story Kits. Almost 15 days into the month and I haven't done a dang thing. I've been so sick with ZERO energy (thanks, bronchitis). I'm truly hoping to get some ambition back and get some pictures printed and get some stuff made. me too! I don't know if it's bronchitis; I got the flu and was sick with that for a solid week, then went back to the Dr because I wasn't getting better. Turns out I got a sinus infection, too. Took antibiotics for that, finished them the day before yesterday, and I'm 75% healthy, but still really coughy/congesty. So I'm debating going back to the Dr again, but I don't feel like taking any more medicine! I'm so over this. I feel fine, I just sound like crap. I hope you feel better soon. It really does zap all of your energy, including the creative energy.

whoa, did you see this posted on the smack blog?? Seems like there is a disgruntled SC employee Anonymous Anonymous said... think the biggest scandal is about to happen. Want to know what I think it *really* is? People are going to open those duplicate boxes. You know, the ones with the vastly different shipping weights listed? And they are going to see they contain EXACTLY THE SAME QTY OF MERCHANDISE. Which will beg the question: Why are they saying things are heavier than they really are? Is it to soak more shipping money out of customers? Do not ask me how I know this. This situation stinks to high heaven big time. Please wait and see. I also HIGHLY ENCOURAGE all customers to weigh their boxes themselves. Care to ask how the same customer shipping list was somehow created twice with the different weights listed? Perhaps it had something to do with a new employee not being up to speed on how they pad their shipping fees to maximise profit. Oops, printed the wrong manifest with the "old" rates calculated. I can't say anything more. But not everybody is a happy worker bee over there. If you think they treat the customers badly, think of the packers and shippers in our warehouse. September 14, 2015 at 8:39 AM but NO ONE is going to do anything about it. That's the sad part.

Thanks for copying for me.....you'd think with all the legalese, that their lawyer (s) wrote, they would know how to run a legal contest......lol You know, I'm kind of guessing that their marketing "guru" had thought that up and neglected to brush up on the regulations. I doubt she ran that by their legal counsel; sort of running off with an idea because it seemed "cool" at the moment. I really wish that I had ordered as a result of that contest so I could stir the pot a little. I'd get it refunded in a minute and report them to the FTC for running the stupid contest in the first place, then bait and switching me and cancelling it after the fact.

Rally the troops, so to speak. 60+ pages is a lot to sift through. It's a pretty daunting thread! Entertaining as hell, though. Well, I was kind enough to send them to page 52 where Amanda and Lindsay first mentioned getting the messages. haha, of course you did. I'm so duh sometimes.

I'm willing to return the double box because I don't want other to miss out on stuff they ordered, but if they are just sending out sorry we oversold cards and they aren't keeping track of who was shorted then what's the point? If they restock the returned product in the store that doesn't guarantee that the people who got the oversold card will be able to buy it again before it sells out. They should be communicating to both sides what happened. I believe people would be more than happy to return the duplicates so others don't miss out.But is there even a choice of returning or not returning, regardless? If I received a double by mistake and I don't return the extra, wouldn't they just charge me for it? (I guess I'm not really understanding this SC double and oversold issue clearly!) Thankfully, that's illegal. If it wasn't, SC probably would've charged everyone by now.

My order from Labor Day was shorted because they sent doubles to everyone. The stickers I ordered contained a nice little note saying sorry but we oversold (a.k.a. Sucks to be you.) They said they would be in touch but, of course they didn't let me know before they shipped my order. Or after they shipped my order. I've heard they will offer a store credit rather than a refund. Does anyone know if this is true? That would be a violation of FTC rules. I don't understand how they can be so profoundly bad at customer service and business. They make the same mistakes over and over. Sending out the double kits was the cherry on top. I don't see them in business three years from now. I think we need to start a pool.

They should be communicating to both sides what happened. I believe people would be more than happy to return the duplicates so others don't miss out. Why would they do that when they could just restock the item in the store, notify the folks who got the oversold card, then let them duke it out who gets to buy it the fastest before it sells out again, and charge them shipping on that one item.

I did not order the kit but I was able to buy some of the embellishments. I really love this company. The quality and quantity of that kit is amazing. Just the stamp set and album alone is worth about $40. I would go for it if you really like it. (Or you can wait and see if this year's kit is more to your liking.) I nearly bought the GB kit last year, but went with Ali's from the year before which was on sale. I've seen a couple of sneaks for this year's December Memories kit and it looks pretty good too. I haven't seen any sneaks either. I'd love to check it out! Can you point me in the right direction?

janeangel hilarious. You should. @skellinton I have 2 boxes coming but mine are just add-on kits from the labor day sale. I didn't order the Halloween stamp or I would totally send it to impearia. impearia I agree - don't let this mishap slide. cath4k ugh. Nope, your pose was not against TOU. But it talks about things they just want to sweep.under the rug. Too bad I PM'd quite a few people yesterday letting them know about getting banned. So, people are gnna know. When I posted I didn't want to mention you two by name, so I had quite a few people PM me and ask me what was going on. I directed them to this thread so they could read it for themselves. Rally the troops, so to speak. 60+ pages is a lot to sift through. It's a pretty daunting thread! Entertaining as hell, though.

I ordered the PL Main kit (my sub) Bakelite and Saturn addons 2 tubes of Color Theroy ink class kit I got doubles of all of these. The only thing I even want to keep is the alpha from the Saturn addon lol maybe some cards from my PL kit that I really like, but nothing else. I could see them wanting the class kit back because I don't want someone to miss out on that because I got 2, but I really doubt they need any of the other stuff back. Of course I'm willing to send it all back. you're sending it back? No! Damn I wish I was one of the double box people! My stuff hasn't even shipped yet! (My fault, not SC)

On another note, I received my PL kit and I am happy, Happy, HAPPY!!!!! Why? Because it's the last of them. I am out! Done! Finished with SC products. I'm still on the fence with Ali and am committed through the end of the year. But next year, I just don't know. And I've been a huge Ali supporter. I guess all the drama has worn me out. so you're finally free at last?

Just wondering - did anyone use the Gossamer Blue kit last year. I want to try a kit for the first time ever and noticed that last year's is on sale on their website. So I'd love to know what anyone thought about it IRL I did! I have SO MUCH left over after making my album, too. I agree with everyone else and did not care for the album, so I painted the cover and made it work. With a discount, it would still be economical to supplement with a handbook or something in your stash. I thought the designs were really modern and did not compete with my photos, and I found the kit very easy to work with. But again, after doing everything I wanted with my album, I still had a ton of product left over. It was worth it to me completely.

Link? How the heck have I not known about a smack blog? Is it about SC? scrapsmacktoo.blogspot.comIt's about SC and then there are rants about other stuff. There is a lot of yuck stuff, but pretty much everything about SC is spot on! wow, that blog is nasty! Entertaining, but definitely not sunshine and rainbows.

My boyfriend is almost convinced that I'm making this stuff up. He thinks SC is going to run themselves right out of business within a year. If they keep on like they have been, they might just.
Not gonna lie, my disappointment is turning right into abject hatred. Like, I want to start an anti-SC social media campaign just to make sure they don't gain any more subscribers.

According to the comments on Facebook, they have billed people and shipped on the next months kit, a lot of people said that happened to me too! Shocking!! These people need to contact their credit card cos and contest the charge. Per FTC rules on unordered merchandise, you don't pay for something you didn't order and you keep what was sent. If the SC customers had given fair notice of cancelling then they did NOT order the merchandise they received. people need to report this crap!
