I typically love BasicGrey products, but I've never purchased a warehouse box. They're on sale now for $38 and I'm considering getting one. I was wondering if anyone has purchased one in the past what they thought? How much product was actually in the box? Was it mostly paper or embellishments? TIA!

It's been a few years since I purchased, but it was a great variety. 12x12 paper, 6x6 paper pads, a few small stamp sets and lots of embellishments. I would say a lot of it probably tended to be items that weren't as big of sellers at the time (I don't remember specific collections, but probably parts of the less popular collections). They were a great value, though! And I have my BG papers organized alphabetically and actually do use them, so it was nice to add to my collection.
I did notice that it will include the 12x12 Best of BG 2 pad...you may want to look that up. I did and I already own it so figure I'd best opt out again (plus I'm trying to focus on my stash).

I haven't done one of these surprise boxes in years. Last time I bought one (it wasn't by Basic Grey), I did get a bunch of stuff but a lot of it I still haven't used. I don't use 6 x 6 pads, for instance. They are usually great deals, though.

This sounds interesting. Is this from the company website?

I'll let you guys know--I just ordered one without hesitation. I've been a fool for basic grey since day one. I still have pieces of motifica I'm hoarding! For US, it was $10.95 flat shipping.

I love Basic Grey but I haven't loved their stuff from the most recent years. too geometric or just plain odd.
I used to love warehouse boxes but I've seen too many videos of people unboxing 6x6 pads and stamps, both of which I have no use for.

It's been a long time since I last got one of these and it was well worth it.

I used to love BasicGrey. Lately, their paper collections don't draw me in. Their fabrics, on the other hand... My favorite.

I probably do too. I know I have a ton of Black Tie and Urban Couture. I have 4 large cropper hoppers full...and I would guess it has been at least 4 years since I have bought any of their paper...I guess I should try using it...

I've never gotten one, but I'm seriously considering one too! Do you know if it is primarily 2015 stuff or going way back too?

Do they usually have a lot of 12x12 in these boxes, or is it mostly other things? Or is it just the 12x12 paper pad, do you think?

Has anyone else received notice of shipment for their box? Just wondering, I thought they were to start shipping the week of the 15th.

I ordered mine weeks ago so I emailed them to make sure I was still going to get it. Like you said, they said they would start shipping 2/15 but I haven't even received a shipment notification. They told me I would "definitely" get my box. Should we be worried?

I logged into my account today and it says "processing", I don't know what that means (has it been processing this whole time?).

Mine says "processing" as well. I'm excited to get my box. Has anyone received a shipping notice yet?

I haven't heard anything either. I also have a CHA preorder that's been pending at ACOT for a few weeks. C'mom, people, I need my scrappy stuff!

I hope someone posts pics or a link to an unboxing video. Then I can live vicariously through those of you that snagged one! They went so quick after they announced ending the SB products.
