Thank you for the link... I am sorely tempted but after buying tonnes of scrap supplies yesterday, I need to somehow remain strong and say no... But it's hard, LOL.

I would also verify that this is actual Simple Stories, as Peachy Cheap tends to produce knock-offs, under the guise of actual brand name scrapbooking supplies.

Thanks, kendramage, I didn't know that! I've only purchased from them once, and it seemed pretty legit. How will I be able to verify if the Simple Stories kit is a knock off? |

How will I be able to verify if the Simple Stories kit is a knock off? No problem-I was SHOCKED when I found out they did this. Please know I purchased paper and die cuts that was marked with the company name-this is a company that had gone out of business so I expected PC just bought out some of their stock. I did not expect that they bought licensing rights and made their own. When I reached out to them about the product I ordered seeming flimsy and not of the quality I expected, they explained that sometimes they purchase the printing rights to different lines and then the have the ability to reprint those items. I expressed my disappointment as I thought I was purchasing the *actual* items and instead got reprints of a lower quality-I did ask how this could be avoided in the future, and they said to email and ask before buying. I felt this was quite the burden to put on the consumer and had to stop purchasing paper and die cuts from Peachy Cheap. In this case, I think Simple Stories is alive and well, so it may be on the up and up. |

The company told me they acquired the licence for some of OA's later lines and had done a limited reproduction run, so while the quality wasn't top notch by any standard, they also aren't knock offs in the illegal sense. I do wish they had been more upfront about that to begin with. Every other branded product I have bought from them (and I've bought more than my fair share over the years) has been legitimate product manufactured by the brand on the product label. |
