Is there some kind of secret way to join the DD group on FB? I have tried 3 times now in the past few weeks with no response...?

Is there some kind of secret way to join the DD group on FB? I have tried 3 times now in the past few weeks with no response...? There shouldn’t be. Usually they are pretty good about adding people. Have you ever been a member of that group and left? Facebook has this stupid thing they ask when you leave a group, it asks if you want to prevent anyone from adding you back. If you check that when leaving a group, it can be problematic to rejoin. The accounts that Ali has as admins for the group are below, maybe you could message them? ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171024/fc4d4b1563e1ac8854143d110020c284.jpg)

Hmm. I'll try the admins, thanks!

For people who got the “defective” DD rubber shapes, I saw this on DD FB group: ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171024/423a2a52e16ef164e4bd2c6996953782.jpg)

It didn't matter too much to me as most of the discolored ones were the blue and the grey, colors im not planning on using this year.

did anyone get the 4x4 kit from KP who also got the Main DD kit? I'm curious if the colors kind of blend? I'm on the fence as I really want the stamp set, but I'm not planning on a 4x4 size so I would want to mix those in with the rest of the kit.
Thanks

Have we talked about the page protector situation now? I just got three e-mails apologizing for the defective 4 3 x 4 page protectors in the albums and replacement packs.
Seems that 2017 hasn't been so wonderful for DD products. But of course we all know that Ali and her team are marvelous and have the BEST customer service <eye roll and sarcasm here>. At least that's what all the handslappers on the Facebook page will say (rather than holding Ali and her team accountable for crappy merchandise and lacking business practices). Me? I'd prefer not to have to utilize that "amazing customer service" every time I turn around. I'd prefer to get good product from the get-go.
I think 2018 will see me going in a different direction for product for this project. The whole situation this year with Ali's product is garbage. The server crash on day one...AGAIN. The oversell of the main kit in round 2. Now the defective page protectors? No thanks. There are companies out there with product that is just as nice, or better, who are not surrounded by BS.

Anyone remember when December Daily was sold through Studio Calico? EVERY...SINGLE...YEAR was a mess. Binders printed upside down, product not arriving, missing items, etc. I don't think the fiasco of DD will ever end as long as Ali is worked with Inked brands.

Made what happened this year seem like a cake walk. I guess that's why I'm not bothered by the going-ons this year. *shrug*

Has anyone who ordered from KP received a shipping notice? I know it says "will ship by the 28th", but dang. I have a super busy weekend with birthday parties and would've loved to have been able to play this week.

Sorry to hear about your customs charge! Thank you! I had expected it and it's not as much as I had thought it would be, but it's still annoying though.

I do NOT want this to get into a bash political thread, but it is curious that customs fees are increasing suddenly. Wondering if this seemingly "random" rise is based on all packages or just packages shipped from America?

A pack of replacement AE DD 3x4 page protectors arrived today. The pages should have been right to begin with but their customer service is excellent. Practice makes perfect and they sure get lots of practice. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Is it an increase in the actual custom fees or an increase in the enforcement of existing custom policies?

The country where the package is shipped? Or the country doing the exporting?

Does Felicity Jane use the SC/Ali Edwards page protectors?

The USA also has a number of duties but I believe these are mostly levied on commercial goods. SaveSave

I believe that anything imported to the UK from outside the EU is liable for duty. At the very least it's VAT charged at a variable rate calculated on the classification of whatever is in the package but it might also include some import duty too. The worst bit - and I apologise for repeating myself here - is the charge slapped on by our post office for the onerous task of collecting it all. Until recently it was a random pick and I usually escaped but just recently every package over $20 or so has been stopped and charged. HAving said that, no Mei Li package has attracted any attention...so far!
Shhhhh...!

UGH. FYC were just too honest with their declaration! One thing I've always liked about Studio Calico is that they've always declared a small-ish flat fee across all their packages, no matter what you've ordered.
