Hi everyone, so glad to see new scrap members! You will love this board. I subbed to SC for awhile but I was never on the forums much. Welcome!

Hi everyone Same name here as Sc I'm still subbing to pl and sb at the moment but not sure how long more for I also get Ali Edwards, Messy Box and Freckled Fawn Hi Gigi! Glad you made it over here.  I've been curious about Freckled Fawn...that's an embellishment kit, yes? Do you like it? Yes I wondered about FF too. The other one I'm considering is Pinkfresh Studio. |

Hi abragg79 Freckled fawn is great, though I think maybe a 6 month to of it for me and then I will start using my stash and sub again, they are so cute and they have great deals, you bundle for 3 days, they charge you shipping as usual and reimburse you all but 1.50 per order, they usually have a great value sub special and often have great sales, last month they had tons of $1 items. And you can buy extras of any item in your kit and several items still available from past kits I love this part of it, as I like to have two of something if I'm using it with my nephews, plus the phrase sheet and alpha this month I got two of which makes such a difference. The kit costs me €33 a month which seems expensive except for the bundling etc, and that's why I would probably sub on and off and buy lots of extras rather than just get a kit each month for a year I wondered about doing a 6 month sub as well, or just buying the kits I really love every 2-3 months. Guess the advantage of a sub is you don't need to think about it - things just turn up  |

Those FF kits are super cute! Thanks for bringing them to my attention. I'm loving the sneak peek of next month's kit.

Lol...have you seen on paperpilekitten's planner thread - finally a definition of 'exclusive'. "Our "exclusivity" is being able to send to our customers before other retailers can!" You couldn't make this stuff up I'm doubting that the planners will actually ship earlier than other stores. Will be interesting to see how this works out ... I completely agree with you...I was in their shop this morning looking at all the Christmas in July stuff and saw the little banner that said "The hottest new color and size release will arrive to our dock one full week before any other store." How will it work to ship out to customers a week before anyone else if they don't even show up to their warehouse until the week before anyone else. To my knowledge and In my experience, once items arrive in the warehouse, they aren't immediately shipped to the customer as they have to be inspected, inventoried and what not before they are even packed to be shipped out. That's cutting it pretty close and it's really riding the line of even an "advance release"... I don't know how they continue to get away with this false advertising? |

I've bought a few kits on sale from Freckled Fawn. Love them, I just don't use enough embellishments on a page to justify subbing. If you are into lots of embellishing, I would definitely give them a go.

...and then they have the nerve to hold a marketing class. Seriously?? How to fail in business 101 sorry, make that a Masters in Shifty Practices (my fingers accidentally typed 'shitty practices', which would have fit nicely too)  I couldn't stop laughing at the new class they're offering. So hilarious. What's sad is that people are going to sign up for that...pay SC $60 for content that they can find for FREE online. And from more trusted sources. OMFG wha??? That bizarro class is $60? HAHAHAHAHA |

The thing is that one week early isn't even that big of a deal! For me they have super slow shipping, I live on the west coast, so I bet I could order from them and another site and they would probably arrive at the same time. Even if SC whipped them out and it did arrive early, is one week worth supporting a business that is blatantly misleading their customers? I don't like the new sub policy and feel their kits have gotten thin, so I cancelled, but for the most part wouldn't have a problem shopping their sales. This Websters fiasco is so underhanded and shady and clearly a blatant attempt by them to misrepresent and lie to their customers I wouldn't preorder from them under any circumstances. |

I was one of the very vocal people about the "exclusive" DD and Ali stamp set fiasco a few years back. It ticked me off to no end. A lot of people were saying, "WHO would buy a kit because of one stamp set? Why spend that money over a stinkin' stamp set." Ummmm, that wasn't the issue. It was SC claiming a key item, IMO, to the kit couldn't be bought anywhere else. Yeah...and then I saw AE was selling the stamp set separate. Apparently they still haven't grasped the definition of "exclusive" and use it as a marketing ploy. Getting some maybe a week in advance? What dictionary are they using to pull their vocabulary words from? I'd never, ever, ever buy anything pre-order from them, and I think after the DD crap is when I finally cancelled my sub. I do, also, shop their sales sometimes. I picked up a few items from the December in July sale--the prices were good, and the shipping was cheap. That's as far as I'll ever go with them. I'm still amazed this company continues to hang on. ***eta*** Wanted to add: when I think of SC, that old saying comes to mind over and over: "Fool me once shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me." And that's why I'll never look back. |

And that's why I'll never look back. This is where I'm at now. I will shop sales (and did yesterday...got some good stuff for cheap and used a discount code) but even then...I kinda feel a little dirty even giving them my money - even if I'm getting something for a steal. When I started subbing, it was in the thick of the 2014 DD shipping issues (albums weren't in KY by the time they needed to send out kits to meet their promised deadline). It was crazy but I looked past it. I thought, "hey...they haven't done anything wrong - not really - everyone makes mistakes." I was so naive. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt because I had no clue. But then, each month, something new happened - changing sneaks, changing quantity of contents of kits, inconsistent information being provided by CS and just general attitude by April (I've never seen a business owner interact with customers the way she interacts with hers...). And then all these other changes with the subscription tiers and commitment policy and the absolute shitty way it was communicated. Then come to find out that this is par for course for SC. This is no different than any other changes or issues they've had in the past! Calling things "exclusive" when they're not. Purposely & knowingly sending out defective supplies and then defending it. And that's probably just the tip. I felt pretty damn stupid for defending SC when I first subbed. But I was blinded by the pretty supplies. So, no - no looking back for me, either. Because of that asinine cancellation policy and because I"m not going to pay $10 more for a kit that is SO NOT worth it so I'm not locked into an asinine policy but also because I just don't think I can feel good about subscribing to their kits knowing that they have zero respect for their subscribers. And it additionally sucks because I love AE - I love her products and she seems like a straight forward, stand up person who does right by her customers and gives them good value for their money. But, anything I purchase from her is still being touched by SC at some point - and usually the most important point (getting the product to the customers). They effed up on the WITL stuff - all the people who preordered by a certain date were supposed to get transparent page dividers but when kits started arriving, those customers did NOT have the dividers in their package. There was a mistake at shipping time. OF COURSE THERE WAS!!! Should we expect anything less? Of course the dividers were sent out ASAP but the fact remains that it shouldn't have happened in the first place. DD stuff is going to start being available soon...what kind of shenanigans should we expect with that? Anyway, sorry for the long rant. I thought I was over all this but apparently I'm still harboring some resentment. LOL. |

I thought I was over all this but apparently I'm still harboring some resentment. LOL. I used to feel the same way, but when I snag something there, it's pretty cheap, such as my $15 purchase yesterday. So they certainly aren't getting rich off of me, lol. I'm all about supporting small businesses. My husband is half owner of a small company. Our livelihoods and survival depend on their customers. DH and his company bend over backwards to do the right thing, fix things when they go wrong, and he comes home proud knowing his company is doing good things for others. So while I don't want to see a small business fail, I sure as hell am not gonna turn over my dh's hard earned income from one small company he busts his ass for to another company that thinks so little of it's customers. Studio Calico??? I've not come across such an arrogant and cocky company, and a small company to boot. This crap has been going on forever over there. I'm still amazed they're still in business. But I really, really think they will, one day, do themselves in. I don't know that there are enough potential newish scrapbookers to lure in to replace those that do finally throw their hands up in the air. Scrapbooking has unfortunately been dwindling for years now, and IMO their stuff "ain't all that" to put up with their practices. There are so many other kits out there, and I'll be damned, you just don't read/hear this kinda stuff going on with them. It's always something that's messed up. And if things calm down for a week or two...just wait, because the next mess up is soon to start up. |

Now that I think about it, the last time I bought anything from SC (besides yesterday) was their Christmas Card Class and a stamp and die, last October or November? So yeah, coming up on a year ago, lol.
Papertrey Ink is another company that's earned itself a bad reputation. They were around a long time before I discovered them. I read tons of horror stories with defective products and horrific customer service. BUT...I liked a lot of their stuff and decided to give them a try. I've ordered several times, and knock on wood, never once had an issue. However, so many people did at one point or another, they refuse to shop with them. I "think" they've come a long way, and earned a lot of trust back. But there are those that said no more. That's what's happening with SC.

Well there's an interim solution to give some sort of refund, but no suggestion that any credit will be given post December, so people with more than one sub will be paying multiple shipping fees even though everything ships together. |

I thought they rescinded the refund for multiple kit subbers? They had originally said they would adjust prices through December, but I think they ended up going back on that. They don't learn from their mistakes, that is for sure. They continue to pull the same thing over and over again. And everytime there is a crisis they just ignore it, have the DT members post a bunch of rah rah posts to bump the negative threads off the front page, then to finish it off they have a big sale and make everyone happy again! Rinse, lather, repeat. |

Is that really a final done deal? I really thought they'd reconsider and change that bonehead plan. I honestly think that's why so many people are hanging on - at least until December. I think they really, truly think SC is going to rethink all this. Not necessarily go back to the way things were but at least do something to truly "grandfather" long-term subscribers in without penalizing them with their new, ridiculous shipping and cancellation policies. Hell, I was going to hang on until December until all the BS that happened during the July reveal. That was my final straw (everyone has their own limits, I'm learning...the BS with presale and reveal was mine). |

Is that really a final done deal? I really thought they'd reconsider and change that bonehead plan. I honestly think that's why so many people are hanging on - at least until December. I think they really, truly think SC is going to rethink all this. Not necessarily go back to the way things were but at least do something to truly "grandfather" long-term subscribers in without penalizing them with their new, ridiculous shipping and cancellation policies. Hell, I was going to hang on until December until all the BS that happened during the July reveal. That was my final straw (everyone has their own limits, I'm learning...the BS with presale and reveal was mine). I would think that if SC wanted to grandfather in their loyal customers they would have already done so instead of watching people jump ship. SC is known for stringing people along. It fascinates me that so many people take the bait and continue to give them their hard earned money. |

I've never been a subscriber,but I have made purchases here and there at SC as well as purchased a "class".
My first class was my last class as it seemed very little effort was put into it and after a while, participants were reminding SC staff that they hadn't posted the promised content. It didn't seem to be a priority to SC.
The recent change to a five minute timer on your shopping cart has ensured that I will never order there again. I see it no different than shopping in a brick and mortar store and being rushed by the owner to get out in five minutes or less. Rude!

They are so pricey and any time I look at the "lessons", I think "I can get all that with a few quick searches on YouTube!" And good analogy of the cart timer. That is exactly what it feels like. |

Have you guys seen the text messages alert thingy that pop ups when you go to SC's website? A new way to feed the shopping frenzy? xD
