SC is having a 40% off sale on Thursday 10/21 for ONE hour only. No email, just happened to see it buried in an Instagram post. 40% off, I may be willing to sell my soul. Anyone else? The last thing I need is more stuff, but 40% off is kind of hard to pass up. There are definitely some things I want!

Yeah, I was thinking this might be worth it, I may add some stuff to my cart and see if I can remember to get online at that time (or hopefully volleyball will be done by then!)

I feel compelled to remind you / rehash my whining - don’t expect anything you order on that sale hour to arrive in anything resembling acceptable timeframe.
I ordered on 10/1 and a label wasn’t even printed until two weeks later. Strangely, it appears to be shipping from Nashville instead of Bowling Green. However, it’s still sitting in the UPS facility in Tennessee, not moving. I’m skeptical I’ll see it before October is over at this rate. 🤦🏻♀️

I can totally see SC taking away free shipping for stamp sets for internationals during this sale and then having shipping make the total be higher for a stamp set than when purchased at full price. Also, this sale may just be the boost this discussion needs to make it to 1000 pages by the end of the year... FYI, Kari Stiles designed next month's Stamp sub. Couldn't make out much from the IG story she posted yesterday except a large-ish photo camera icon which is a big no-no for me. Oh well.

Of course, internationals on our side of the Atlantic would need to stay up well into Friday morning to take advantage of the witching hour too (or did I make a mistake when I calculated 8pm ET in Europe?)

I calculated 2AM Central European Time. Not sure I'll make it, to be honest.

There's always a catch; we know that. Encouraging everybody to load up their carts ahead - can they see what people want and adjust prices accordingly?? I'm not that tech savvy...but I'm appropriately suspicious with SC.

There HAS to be a reason and it isn't to benefit their customers.

There HAS to be a reason and it isn't to benefit their customers. I fully expect anything I want that’s a higher price item will be sold out ahead of time. No way will SC cut the prices on things they think people will pay regular price for. They’ll just mark it out of stock and it’ll magically appear back in the store after the sale.

I'm betting on albums being excluded! Any other guesses?

It is a bit weird that they want people to fill their carts days in advance of a one hour sale. I think it's going to be a shit show. I'm okay with paying for shipping if I get 40% off of items so long as the postage cost is reasonable.... but I have very low hopes of anything I'd be interested being in stock or part of the sale.

I'm betting things that are already on sale won't be marked down along with albums. I looked through everything and there were only 2 things that I was even remotely tempted to buy, and they were stickers that were already marked down. I will probably pass on the sale. Although, now that I'm thinking about it I might peruse the digitals again and see if there are any I can't live without.

Damn, I was holding strong! If someone wants to buy the acetate frames and split them with me, let me know. I'm still not purchasing from SC, but paying a Pea...

I’m passing though because I don’t need them.
