Mercy Tiera starting a kit club~

I'm excited to see what it offers!

Isn’t she in Canada? Or am I thinking of someone else?

I'm really excited for something new. I would give it a try as long as shipping to the US isn't too crazy.

US shipping will be at cost. So I guess that means weight of package and then determined by zip instead of flat rate?

Premier kit will be up in a couple weeks (so this month) and will have 12x12 papers, embellishments, letter stickers. Add one (paper and embellishments) will also be available. Thoughts of additional add on or other kits are being thought about.

You can just order each month as you like or get a small discount if you subscribe.

This is exciting. I like the idea of a kit club in Canada, and I have always loved her work. I'm excited to see what she comes up with. I had thought she'd quit scrapbooking because she took a break from YouTube and uploading.

I'm excited about this. I really like the way she scraps. I'm looking for another kit club.

This is exciting for me as a Canadian!

Shipping to me in Canada is $29! Sorry my budget can't handle that. The kit itself is cha-ching, my budget doesn't have a lot of extra room for cha-ching, lol!

Unfortunately not, shipping in canada is so expensive.  I am too cheap to pay this much for shipping as well though. By the time you add shipping and tax the price of the kit doubles.

Shipping came out slightly cheaper to me in Alberta at $21.53, but for the price of the kit and the price of shipping I could have quite a nice little shopping spree at my LSS, or I could place an order from an online store every couple of months and qualify for free shipping--both of which would ultimately give me more product. The kit was really cute, but I can essentially go out and buy the same product for less. It might have been more tempting if there were exclusive items, but the math just doesn't add up. I do hope she finds her niche though.

I think the kit is nicely done. I love the mix of things she included and I think the colors and themes mix and match well while giving people lots of options. It’s not overly masculine or girly and frilly which I VERY much appreciate. She also has a nice assortment of embellishments. Those Pinkfresh frames really tie it all together.

But I have two things big things that hold me back:

1. Most of that is available at my Joann’s store, by the sheet and everything. And probably on sale, if I’m patient.

2. $23 for shipping is a no for me. When it’s over half the cost of the kit, I have a hard time clicking buy. I have no problem paying for shipping for big orders and I order from Canada for Crop & Create and am used to that. But I can’t do it every month for an otherwise relatively “small” order. I would maybe consider it if she combined shipping for multiple months of kits, maybe? BUT I’m also a little impatient and that might be hard too. 😅 I sympathize that shipping is what it is, but it does make me pause.

I’ll be watching her kits though! I’m also curious to see what she and her DT do with the kits. That could entice me to purchase down the line as well.

Not my style, and way too expensive all the way around. I wish her all the best, though.

Yikes! I'm not the target audience, since I'm unfamiliar with the kit club owner, don't buy/not interested in kits, & dislike American Crafts paper brands (except Bazzill). As mentioned upthread, these collections have been widely available for weeks (& subject to sales for iNSD, Mother's Day, &/or weekly, including at JoAnn's designer destination stores), & the shipping/handling costs seem cost-prohibitive (especially compared to other online sources). 

I have shipped some things that I sold through Facebook Marketplace, and unfortunately we don't seem to have great flat rate shipping options here in Canada. There isn't really a box that would fit scrapbook paper, and those that might seem to be over $30. I think lots of stores that do online orders cover the extra shipping cost. It's something I am really grateful for and tend to only shop where I can get free or flat rate shipping. I am usually willing to put extra items in my cart (such a burden!) so that I make the free shipping. It's an extra cost for the retailers, but it is definitely something that keeps me coming back.

I really hope she can make a go of it, and I can certainly understand that her margins might not be where she can discount the shipping. Hopefully there is a local demand for the kits in her area. That would definitely help to keep shipping costs down.
