I caved for a single box, international shipping and all. I had some money in my Paypal account which I've earned from doing surveys and stuff like that, so it feels like I'm getting it for free.

I got a 2 box (I hope!). I ordered right when the sale opened and I have a receipt from PayPal, but no confirmation from OA. I'm assuming I'm good.

Did anyone else see what's going on in Canada? On July 2nd there is supposed to be a mail strike. Apparently Etsy is monitoring it and has sent sellers notice about it and warned them of extreme delays of things shipping to and from Canada. If there are a lot of people in Canada ordering these boxes, given the time it will take to get through customs, they could be waiting more than a month for their orders. That goes for anything they buy online, international or not. Didn't they JUST have this issue last year or the year before?

That's always nice. What survey company do you use? I have a survey app on my phone for Google, so my PL app purchases are all free...I used to get a survey every day but after an onslaught of 30-40 surveys in a weekend late May, I have only gotten one every 3-7 days. One of my orders last week felt like that because I got my SC supplemental warehouse box and sold off two components that netted me almost $20. Since I didn't care about the box, just felt like making them pay shipping to suffer a bit more from their BS, it seemed like free money to me, too.

I really wasn't thrilled with my BG warehouse box and swore then that I wouldn't order anymore. I do love OA though. Guess I will see how much they charge for shipping. If it's not outrageous I might order. I was really disappointed with my BG box. But I just ordered one of these. Hope I don't have buyer's remorse when it gets here.

I didn't order one. I may have to avoid all the threads everyone posts after they get their boxes. If anyone ends up with a ton of Rocket Age, I do not want to know. LOL I decided to just spend $30 on something I know I'll like.

My husband bought me the Sasparilla kit because I said it would be great for county fair pictures from when our oldest was 6 months old. I believe he got it for me that Christmas (so my son was 14 months old). I have not yet scrapped those pictures or used a lick of that collection. All this hype and excitements makes me want to dig those pictures and that collection out...I haven't scrapped baby pictures of my oldest in such a long time.

Thank you for posting about this. I'm a long time scrapper (been away from here a while though) and have always loved OA. I don't have anything more recent than the office line and am excited for this. I hopped on right at 9 and got a 2 boxer!! I haven't scrapped much since my daughter was born but I'm hoping this will bring back the motivation!

I don't really scrap while pregnant and it took me about 4 months to start up again after my 3 1/2 year old was born...I jumped back in just before my 16 month old daughter was born and would have been more productive had she not been so needy (constantly needed holding and wouldn't take a bottle...I ended up with a freezer full of milk go bad), I would have started much sooner. I hope you find plenty in your box to inspire you!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh now we can wait for the boxes to roll out and people to start posting the epic You Tube videos showing their box hauls! I wonder how many variations of boxes there will be ... 2 obviously? But more than 2?

I wonder how many variations of boxes there will be ... 2 obviously? But more than 2? I would venture a guess that there will be a good mix. I'm hoping for that, anyway. I wouldn't be opposed to large quantities from the same line (except travel girl, too much pink and I'd never use it) so long as it doesn't mean there is only a random item or two from others. Initially the single boxes said they'd ship within 2 days and 3-4 for the 2 box sets, but now they both say 3-4 days...hoping for a shipping notification by end of business Friday. All I know is that I'm hoping it doesn't end up being like SC...I hope the double box orders don't end up with the same amount of stuff the singletons are getting. They've made new leery and nervous!!

This is the first box I've ever ordered. Had a little FOMO moment, so I caved. Hope it all ends well.

LOL I decided to just spend $30 on something I know I'll like. I am going out on a limb and I am going to say it is probably unlikely anyone is going to get much, if any Rocket Age. It's one of the oldest full lines (ie with all their traditional embellishments like chipboard, buttons etc). I believe it came out in 2011? I think you are safe. Save

I bought 2 single boxes! I'm excited because I hardly have any OA stuff and so I don't mind if there are some doubles either.

I've been watching all day to see if it would sell out on the same day. It lasted longer than I thought it would!

I passed. I was really tempted so I'm almost happy they sold out before I could cave, haha. They did make an 80% discount to retailers a month ago and then they had bits and pieces of Treasure Map, Under the Tree, Summertime, Saturday Mornings and a few things from the Daily Flash collections. So I guess that's what you can expect in the box, unless they dug out some older items in their warehouse that they didn't release to retailers. That would be awesome. I'm hoping for some kind of December offer from them. Maybe they have some Christmas stuff left, or would make a special kit for Christmas. That would be a dream!

I was able to grab a single box yesterday (2-box sets sold out!) and then today decided I wanted another one.... nope, ALL sold out. I've never purchased one of these before, now I can't wait. It's like Christmas! So, at the risk of becoming an addict.... what other companies do these warehouse boxes?

It's like Christmas! So, at the risk of becoming an addict.... what other companies do these warehouse boxes? Simple Stories has one out right now...not sure if it sold out or not, yet. The contents pretty well match the teaser photo according to those who have received theirs. This is the first time they've ever directly done one. Bella Blvd just did theirs for the year. I emailed them asking if they were doing one because it usually goes up the first of May and it was already June. They ended up doing one a couple of weeks ago with a delay caused by a warehouse move. Echo Park usually does on site warehouse sales. My Mind's Eye did one near the holidays last year. Elle's Studio doesn't do boxes, but she does massive sales a few times a year that include mystery items by category (including a stamp one that is always a great value). Paper Issues has one going on right now in their shop to clear out older inventory. People are happy with them...I saw a comment on IG from a person wanting to buy another because she was so happy with it ($55 shipped and includes 100 sheets of paper and a myriad of other items). Fancy Pants did one in February (wasn't all that exciting, honestly...hubby got me one for my birthday). That's all I can think off of the top of my head...I'm sure there are others and maybe someone else can chime in on any that I'm missing.

I bought a couple from Basic Grey a few years ago, but I guess they're not in the scrapbooking biz anymore.

Webster's Pages does them usually once or twice a year as well. Although lately they have seemed more entrenched in planners...so not sure if they are still doing the boxes.
