Inked Brands heard me and rewarded me for my patience. My latest AE order arrived this afternoon! The long waiting times to have stuff shipped from the warehouse pisses me off. They are treating internationals like second-class customers and that's what I have a problem with. You're totally right - I've felt that way from quite a few retailers. Like we're an unnecessary hassle they'd rather be without.

You two are far kinder as paying customers than I am, marinette peachiceteas . The long waiting times to have stuff shipped from the warehouse pisses me off. They are treating internationals like second-class customers and that's what I have a problem with. I'm not going to blame them too quickly for the long shipping transits as the pandemic has messed things quite a bit up and Inked are still practicing affordable shipping but 2 weeks of sitting in the warehouse? Not impressed. Add me to the pissed off list. It is frustrating to receive a shipping notice and then realise that you have a 10 day wait before the parcel even moves. Luckily here in Australia, we still have access to most US companies, with the exception of Feed your Craft. Citrus Twist and Everyday Explorers are two I buy from regularly and the shipping is super fast. It usually takes 7 to 10 days from shipping notice to receipt of parcel.

I'm in the same boat with the shipping delays. It's ridiculous to me that my AE kits take a month just to leave the US. What kind of a postal service are they using?? But at the same time I agree that we can't complain too much as at least we do eventually get the kits...2-3 months after ordering

I got a stamp set from SC that I think was the April one... can't remember... it was so long ago... anyway it arrived *this* week. End of JULY!! 🤬

Don’t forget to cancel your M2M subs today or tomorrow to not be stuck with the next kit!

So I just skipped next month's subs instead of cancelling. I did month to month so hopefully it won't be a problem to cancel next month.

Got my Color Theory kit in the mail....those are some thin a$$ labels. For sure. I used one on a patterned journaling card and the pattern shows through the label. 🙄 They might be worth the $3 I paid with this promo, but I’d be so irritated if I was a subscriber paying full price for them! And it’s super gross how each sheet is in a plastic wrapper. I’m very sure the stack of plastic is thicker than the stack of labels.

All of them together are worth no more than a dollar.

I am *so relieved* that I cancelled my DK sub having seen this months sneaks. Not my cup of tea at all. https://www.instagram.com/p/CR4hLIxlDxD For an August kit, the colours are dull and I find the interpretation of the theme 'Wild' to be a bit lacklustre. Feel like I've dodged a bullet.

“Dodged a bullet” 😂 - that cracked me up!
I’m not in love with it by a long shot, but if it gets a few markdowns I’d pick it up at a good discount. I will not be heartbroken if I miss it altogether. The journal cards would be a good match for some travels I have yet to do anything with.

I still don't understand having so many damn cacti! Maybe they just stick out to me because I've never been a fan?

I don't care for this sneak one bit. And I like cacti but who needs this many cacti in their PL album? Seriously? I mean, except a cacti farmer. Eww, the stamp set. But ok, shame me, I want those tiny phrase stickers...

I stared at this journal card for far too long wondering why the heck it said “yee flaw”. 🤣 That would be totally up their alley, right? Is western a trending thing now? What in the world? So does the DT not know whats in the kit? The caption of the DK says the chipboard hearts? Now, to be fair, it's usually going to be hearts or stars, so she had a 50/50 shot.

Hey now, mom, what even is your western life if you don't have a pair of red cowboy boots sitting underneath the cast iron horseshoe by the entrance (next to the potted cactus, of course)? Come on, don't lie, you were born to be unique!

It is ugly, but at the same time parts of it would be perfect for the trip we just took to Steamboat Springs, CO--we even went on a horseback ride! Pretty sure the last time I was on a horse was when I was in single digits. I'm not sure I have anything to for scrapbooking it, but I'm not sure I'd want the entire kit. I'm trying to talk myself out of getting the July kit with the discount and then cancelling after the August kit ships (especially since I ordered the July chipboard separately and when my order finally shipped I got a notice that it was sold out)...
