It seems like there are lots of recycled themes/images in the last few kits, and CS getting worse than before (and it was never great to begin with). I’m wondering if KP will be closing up shop in the near future

I do like her stamp sets, but her kits are generally too themed for me to use. Or at least themes I would rarely use.
I did notice this sticker sheet on her website for $3.99 is a Korean brand? (Suatelier) that you can get on Aliexpress or quite a few other websites for cheaper.

Same, however we keep buying her stuff and I'm assuming she's making enough money to live off the sales so she keeps limping along. I keep hoping she'll shut down so I don't have to cancel my subscription. 😂 I did notice this sticker sheet on her website for $3.99 is a Korean brand?

It's really annoying that it is the 13th of the month, and there are NO sneaks for anything but the main kit, and even then, we've had minimal sneaks of the kit stamp (which at least looks like it is 4x6 this month). I'm out at the end of the year if KP doesn't pull the plug sooner than that.

I’m canceling at the end of the year, pretty sure. The kits are definitely not giving me the value in usable product. I’m thinking about signing up for Not For Boys or the Hip Kit for next year instead.

Okay, we're making a pact, we're going to cancel our subscription after the December kit.

Do we think there are no additional items for release tomorrow? We're less than 24 hours away from the shop opening for subbers, and still nothing in email or an Instagram. I even checked my spam folder to be sure.
I feel like I'm watching a beloved series limp along for far too long.

We've been talking about PP spiraling the drain for a while and it makes me so damn sad. I wonder if she'll even have a DD selection this year. I am absolutely shocked she didn't post anything today for the release and/or an e-mail to newsletter subscribers. I almost wouldn't be shocked if we got an e-mail within a couple weeks saying she's packed up and those were the last orders. COME ON, KP!

Just got an email from KP/PP—Aug Release postponed to Sep 1st, will include Halloween stamps and kit(s). Monthly Aug kit will be sent out to subbers on 8/25. Not sure how the “free” shipping bundling will work for subscribers if we order shop items on 9/1

I seriously do not understand how she (and Inked, for that matter) can't get their shit together. They have people begging to give them money. She has the design skills that people want to see on her products. How is it they can't get their shit together enough to have decent customer service and a great product? People are begging!

She’s making it easier and easier to cancel at the end of the year. I’m wondering too about the bundling for subscribers.

I sent a message through the "Contact Us" thing on the PP website.
"Dude. I have been a subscriber with KP/PP for years and years. I know we are a prickly bunch, but we are begging you to get it together. I'm not talking about delays because of supply chains and shipping issues. For years, we've been told that there would be more sneaks / product examples. The social media account for PP is dead, minus the comments about the lack of Customer Service. The number of places to get quality products has been dwindling for years, but we are still here. We want your products and designs. We want clear communication, and we would absolutely love it if it wasn't sent to us 7 minutes prior to a release. If you're going to have a release for December Daily, please let us know sooner rather than later. If you have to close shop again, please let us know sooner rather than later. I think that's all it boils down to... communication. We are still holding onto the hope of this ship righting itself, but it feels more like we're on the Titanic."
I can't believe you would put out a sneak, go radio silent minus billing people, and then issue that e-mail. They didn't even post it on IG.

She needs to just close and be done with it. She’s making it easier and easier to cancel at the end of the year. I’m wondering too about the bundling for subscribers. Agreed, I am almost ready to cancel now.

mich5481 A little late but here is Pam to validate the cancellation pact. This is one of the saddest (and longest) train crashes I've ever witnessed. I so love KP. Nobody does documenting products like she does. But that shop is such a mess and it's getting worse. I can't blame anyone for unsubbing. You all have hung in there way longer than expected. And she still won't ship to the EU or UK for a reason beyond my understanding. Ship through USPS and let us pay the import fees. We get the drill. Although, at this stage, I'd more scared than enthusiastic to finally be able to place a physical produc order with PP. I can't believe she still has enough customers to warrant specialty product releases at this stage.

Work has been busy (which hasn't been helped by the fact that I had no power this morning due to a storm last night), and I just logged into PP.
I am gobsmacked that there is no release today.

Also, AE sent out a sneak peek email for the DD main kit. If you share it on your FB, you get extra images. I shared it, but set the privacy so only I can see it. 🤣
KP needs to find a logistics partner so she can do what she excels at!
