The no promises part of this worries me...they better be packing the legit double boxes, 3 minute sell outs first...they DID promise no dupes for the 2 box sets when they listed it...so here's hoping the 'no promises' is just for the 2 single box orders. Fingers crossed!!

Fingers crossed!! I don't get it. If they knew they were selling 2-box sets, and overall they had a limited amount for sale, why did they not pack all of them ahead of time? It just does not make sense. I would be a little concerned. Wasn't the shipping supposed to start last week? Did they get the flu again? ETA: And did you notice they said no EXACT duplicates with the word underlined? That means only one thing needs to be different for it not to be an exact duplicate. Save

I have told myself no more warehouse boxes, but I caved and ordered a single. Today I was digging through my stash, and found a supply of cakewalk, midway and farm fresh. I also know there is a ton of witch hazel in my Halloween stash. Now I remember why I don't order warehouse boxes. I missed a few lines so hoping I get something new to me.

I got very similar to Amber. Some different papers and washi, but the quantities seem to be the same. I am not having luck posting my pictures. I see you are local as well :-). I am in Lakeville. I missed their last Warehouse sale, grr! I hope they have one last one. I am not sure in today's market they will rebound . Don't feel too badly about missing the last warehouse sale. I didn't think they had as much as other years. Although, I did go Saturday, not Thursday as I usually do. ETA - Welcome to the board. I'm in the north metro.

I did get to the warehouse sale and loaded up because I was afraid they were going away. I really like their papers and hope they do come back.

Single :-). Sorry the photos seem so huge, ha. I think I will be happy with my double then. This looks so fun! It definitely has a ton of one line I was hoping for...treasure map. Thanks so much for posting pictures! I ordered two sets of Treasure Map off of a daily deal site last year. I love that line.

I Ordered 2 boxes (but not the 2 box set) and I received a shipping notice tonite just before 9 pm. (CST)
Right now it still says A label was created at 7:38 pm (CST)
I expect a bunch will get picked up tomorrow and hopefully mine should arrive very early next week.
But glad to see they did follow through on send the tracking. Also, like that they tried to be certain those with double boxes (eve if it's not the 2 box set) won't get exact duplicate boxes. That was really nice and not something they had to do.
So excited for my box!!!!!

I got my priority mail shipping notice for my two box set at 11:10pm tonight. The label has been created, but not shipped. I'm really excited to see what I get.

10 sets of Daily Flash stickers, tons of paper, 4 rolls of washi, and more. Thank you for the pictures. I was really happy to see what you got. I hate to ask, but can you tell us how many pieces of paper you received?

I got my priority mail shipping notice for my two box set at 11:10pm tonight. The label has been created, but not shipped. I'm really excited to see what I get. Me, too. I have been expressing my displeasure...not so much in the TIME it's taking them, but rather in order they are doing things. To me, the perk of being there at the start of things is getting your order shipped first. I try and be at the computer at 8am on the dot for Elle's Studio kits every month because it means that I don't have to wait for things to ship. If you order later in the day, you end up having to wait a few days because it takes a while for one person to ship that much stuff. But to be one of the first people to order and wait longer than people who ordered much later is disappointing. It defeats the purpose of ordering quickly. I definitely did NOT want the displeasure to result in shipping things at ridiculous hours of the day (unless, of course, they are working odd shifts but only putting in 8 hours), so now I feel bad that they rushed to process orders so late at night. I guess right now I'm the prime example of a customer that you can't win with. I completely understand that it takes time and am willing to wait so people aren't working ridiculous hours to play catch up, I am just upset that things weren't done in order received to keep things fair. Not all things in life are fair, but I expect business practices as they pertain to the customer to be. Geez, I sound like a whiny little kid, don't I?

I also would have thought it would have made more business sense for the 2 box sets to go first if they were trying to keep it less complicated. It might have been easier to make sure of no dupes in the second box. They must have had some idea how many boxes they were planning to fill. How long it might take, etc. I have absolutely no patience when it comes to waiting for my goodies to arrive! Plus, I feel a bit ripped off from the Basic Grey warehouses boxes and want to see the value of these boxes.

Very interesting haul amber27, thank you for the photos! Seems it is all newer items: I see Summertime; Under the Tree; Saturday Mornings; Daily Flash and Treasure Map. I also think I see some sheets of unpunched Treasure Map tidbits and doodads! Which is pretty awesome! I don't have a number of things from Treasure Map and those are on the list of don't yet have! I already have some TM but I really like it so I am super happy to get more. I am getting a double box, so I am wondering what else will be in mine! I would love to see other boxes if anyone else has received them! It will take ages for mine to arrive since it hasn't shipped yet and it will take awhile to get to Australia.

I'm curious, do you all think they had the boxes packed and ready to go when they put them up for sale Monday the 27th?

jtmom It definitely sounded to me like they did by how they worded the original announcement on their blog but now I don't think they did at all.

I received my shipping notice, too. Yay! I really don't care if it takes a few extra days. It's just fun stuff that I don't need.

I worked a warehouse sale many years ago and we were packaging things up right before it started. They are a very small company, so I am guessing they called in friends and family to help if there was a big response.

I hate to ask, but can you tell us how many pieces of paper you received? 14, unless my little dude took off with a couple of them :-). He really likes paper, ha.

Thanks amber27! I guess I was expecting MORE paper. I love the mix of stuff, but is the $100 value there?

Thanks amber27! I guess I was expecting MORE paper. I love the mix of stuff, but is the $100 value there? The Santa Sacks usually had 20+ sheets of paper, so I can definitely see how you would expect more paper. Just for fun I added up everything in the photos using the full MSRP and yes it adds up to around $101ish dollars. I think we look at it and think less because everywhere you go these days you can get most things on sale for at least 20% off if you make even a small effort. So yes, OA kept up their part of the bargain. One of those papers btw I believe to be a journaling card sheet, and those go for $1.99 so I added it up with 13 sheets of paper and 1 journalling card.

Thanks, impearia! I had to really guess when I was checking for the value. I truly am excited to see my box, and getting all of the daily flash alphas would really make my day!

No problem...I am too obsessive about OA, so it didn't take long. Those Daily Flash alphas are lovely, I have a pile of them, but can always use more too! Save

I counted what was in my box -
14 sheets of paper (1 cut apart of journal cards) 3 12x12 sticker sheets 1 pk journaling cards 4 sheets (each equal to 1 pkg) of tidbits/flash blurbs 1 6x8 pkg of Apple Cider papers 1 roller stamp - summer 5 6x12 sheets of stickers - 2 border, 1 mini market, 1 lable, 1 Treasure map 2 chip board alphas 1 pkg tin pins/flair 1 pkg Treasure Map brads 4 rolls washi tape 1 sheet Summertime number stickers.
I think it was worth the 20.00 plus shipping.
