I ordered two things at the end of July that were due to arrive in August that I'm still waiting on.
They would probably sit in my stash for a while before I used them anyway so I don't know what my hurry is.
Anyone else waiting for preorder goodies to arrive?

Not at the moment but I get antsy waiting for pre-orders too.

I still have a bit to spend at ACOT before I ship my order for free. I don't need any of it now and a few things are on pre-order. So I'm waiting but, really, I am waiting on me.
ha!

Once the SS Simple Vintage Holly Jolly items I bought come in, I will release my hold items. So technically waiting for them. I am at 75% off shipping but will use that to help upgrade to priority.
I have some Christmas but mostly Halloween/fall items. So first of October is when I will release it all.

I know "pre-order" time frames vary, because of several factors >> manufacturers, shipping companies, receiving-unpacking-logging in the inventory, etc... so I don't count on "estimated arrival". I don't get upset, especially when all of the factors involved....are not in my control.
I am very patient. I love ACOT's new shipping "hold" option....pay for the merchandise (guaranteeing that I am getting whatever it is), then waiting until I meet the shipping minimum before all my orders ship. I have an extreme amount of patience, especially if it means I am saving money and not having to pay for shipping.

I am as well. I just finished up an order that toppled me over into free shipping, so now I'm waiting on some pre-orders as well. Every so often I remember that it's free to ship when ready and I wonder when that might be, but mostly I keep forgetting that it's not just still waiting for me to hit the free ship threshold.

My LSS is getting the 12 new Versafine Clair inks for me. This thread reminded me to check in with them.

Me too!🙋🏼♀️. I have several ACOT orders that hit the free shipping, now just waiting on a few of the Pre Order items to come in. I don’t need the stuff yet, but I’m excited to go through it when it gets here.

I’m not waiting for any right now but I know the feeling. It’s worse for me when I have to also wait for the nonpreorders I bought along with the pre orders. I want it now syndrome

Thanks, justjac. I actually ran over to the Imagine site and spotted most of them. I don't actually have all of them as it is. I mostly use them to stamp sentiments and have darker colors. Then I see some of the amazing blending they do with them on the Imagine blog and get tempted toward FSS. If they had dew drops or some other smaller format, I'd be a goner....

I don’t need the stuff yet, but I’m excited to go through it when it gets here. Same here. And I buy mostly paper, so by the time I hit free shipping, I'll have a lot of papers to "Ooh" and "Ahh" over!

My problem is that I place pre-orders so far in advance at some places that I forget that they're coming, and then all of a sudden I have a whole bunch of pre-orders from various places coming all at once. Like the Ali Edwards DD preorder - not shipping until October - that's a long time to wait!

I'm patient, but excited when I finally get that shipping notification!
I have 2 pre-orders. One should finally be shipped this month, the other not until next month at best.

I’m not waiting on any pre-orders but I did place a big order with Hip Kit Club during their back to school sale and I’m anxiously awaiting for my box to arrive! I bought a grab bag and tons of older kits, stamps, and color kits.

I don't do pre-orders, but I made an exception a few months ago. I pre-ordered a bunch of Pretty Little Studio products from ACOT. I canceled it because it was taking too long. A one-month delay is just too much for me. I'm not good with waiting, and the excitement waned. If I still want the products, I'll order them when they are released. They were really good about the cancellation, and my money and points were refunded right away.

I'm annoyed with PLS, but only mildly. It's definitely a first world problem for me!

From what I can tell, my entire order is being held up by an autumn stick sheet and 2 sheets of track & field paper by Reminisce. Oh man, LOL!
I tried to scan just the description boxes of my order details looking for "PRE-ORDER" because I'd like to sort of forget most of what's coming so it can be a surprise when I open it. So it's possible I missed a few other items, but I really think that may be all that I am waiting for right now.

So I need to spend less than $3 for my free shipping because I added the Halloween mini album by Paige Evans.
I know that as soon as I order some random thing, I will need something else and need it right away.
If I didn't have a couple more pre-order items in there, I would have paid the 75% off shipping. It was like $4.
Next time, I will go with the 75% off as my threshold.

But I did think exactly what you said as well, that I'll probably start thinking of things I wished I had added to the order now. The 75% idea sounds like a good one.

I just looked through all of Clearance and I don't need anything. I can't think of any colors of stamp pads I need right now. I have two full refills of adhesive.
I'll look through my xmas solids tonight to see if I can add any greens or reds.

I'm not sure why there's a delay, maybe there are a lot of ACOT pre-orders? PLS has the collection on their own website and it's available from paper issues, Layle by mail, a Canadian store, Glitter and Ink and a UK store, hey little magpie. Like you said, mildly annoyed and a first world problem. I'm grateful for the ACOT discount, but, I might not pre-order PLS from ACOT again. I think Scrapbook Generation is still waiting for their pre-orders, too. www.heylittlemagpie.com/product/brands/pretty-little-studio/you-are-my-sunshine/pretty-little-studio-you-are-my-sunshine-100-sunshine-word-die-cuts/. www.glitterandink.ca/shop/Embellishment/All/p/Pretty-Little-Studio---You-Are-My-Sunshine---Under-the-Stars-x84290048.htm

I'm waiting for the you are my sunshine collection from Pretty Little Studio, too. I'm not sure why there's a delay, maybe there are a lot of ACOT pre-orders? Sorry for the long wait. This was our first time ordering from her and we mis-judged how long it would take for our order to be shipped. We also got a bit of a late start and so we were probably near the back of the line anyway. With the next release we should have more time to prepare and hopefully we can get products here sooner. The update we got last week said she's just waiting on our papers to come back from the print shop. They were coming in batches and were supposed to all be there by Friday of this week. I'm not quite sure how long it will take her to prep and package everything after that, but it sounds like things will be on their way to us sometime next week.

It’s all made in house, so they take a bit longer than usual, but it’s so worth it. I’ve already gotten my order from Paper Issues, and made two LO’s with it. It’s beautiful!
