This is my first month and I’m so disapointed that I subscribed, the shipping is gone up by 50% and I can’t add anything til mid month when I will have to pay shipping again
This is the worst subscriber mistake I’ve made, I’m cancelling as soon as my 3 months are up
Which sucks cause I do love the kits

I'm cancelling after the Feb kits ship as I just can't afford the shipping increase. I've subscribed for a year and have enjoyed the kits but the increase just makes them unaffordable.

Did you see the code on the front page of the shop? From the CD website: At checkout, please use the following coupon code to get free shipping on your order of items to be shipped with your subscription: BRIGHTSHIPPING

With the move to an all subscription model, there's virtually nothing extra to buy.

I'm happy with my pocket scrapping kits so far. I really love the watercolor illustration style and colors. Really different than mainstream collections that are available.
Too about the shipping increases, though. I can see how that would make it unreasonable to purchase.
I have added washi tape to ship with my kit, but that's about it. Last month I put some items in my cart during the mid-month extras (enamel dots, alphas) that were available, but didn't buy them because I didn't want to pay shipping. When I looked at add-ons to ship with my next kit, they were still in my cart (but no longer showing in the shop for sale), so I purchased them and they came with my kit order. I guess I got lucky that they had them in stock.

I unsubbed several months ago. Took a quick look now, and shipping for internationals are crazy expensive. I know it isn't their fault, but when they state that they have no responsibility for lost or damaged items, I'm certainly not tempted to try again soon. And up to six weeks? That's completely unacceptable when you're selling planner inserts. Are people supposed to wait another year before they can use them? Thank goodness for etsy!

Their shipping charges are high and they are not able to negotiate good rates with some courier companies it seems. They also need to stop doing so many exclusives. I liked their kits before when they had some random exclusives. An all exclusive kit is not as good. February kit is worst I think.

I guess i'll be the one dissenting view I subbed in December and i am LOVING the kits! i'm loving what i'm making too. If you are interested, i'm on instagram as mamakven. February is pretty bright for me, but its pretty. i'm wishing i signed up for the main kit though, those alphas in the main kit are sooooo cute.

I have subbed to CD since the start. I can't seem to find planner peace. Have tried ring bound and then went to standard size dori. For February I changed to B6 and love the size however I am starting to really love using my mini happy planner the most and wanted to cancel my sub. Was going to do it in December but Loved the Map Case then was going to cancel in January but wanted the Simon stuff and now I couldn't cancel because I wanted that peacock clip, pen, charm and bag.
It is now over $ 50 a month with exchange and shipping. That is too pricey for me to justify. I get the planner kit and add on. I wish I could get the goodies without the book but this year i am looking at saving money not spending it on something I don't need/use.

I was curious and peeked at their kits for Feb. Then I looked at the shipping. Have they not updated shipping? It said International was $30. If they increased 50% that makes it around $60! That is gulp price for shipping. I watch a couple of International You Tuber's who are Cocoa Daisy fans. That is going to hit them hard. Thirty dollars is high too. I can definitely see how a lot of you were like "Nope!" with Feb's kit. That would be hard to use in LO's. I love peacocks. I love birds. I have so much scrapping items that are bird related. I loved the jewel tone colors of the kit. I would love this kit. I know that is hard to work with scrapping. I can see a lot of pretty planner LO's with Feb's kit but scrapping that is going to be a challenge for so many.

@amayalylac $30 is the new shipping cost - it used to be $20 for the12x12 Kit.

I don't understand. If you signed up for the kits and they changed their shipping prices, couldn't you cancel? I mean that is not the price you signed up for. They basically changed the contract after you signed. So to speak. And yeah my shipping only went up a couple dollars but I am still feeling burnt. It was already more than I wanted to spend on a kit and and now its even more. (I signed up a week before the notice).I guess I am just feeling a little salty. And to top it off I am not digging February at all.

I'll be surprised if they'll have many international customers after this rate increase. I have 1 more month left on my scrapbook subscription and then I'll be getting rid of that. I like exclusive products but the last 2 months have been "misses" for me.

It annoys me that no warning was given and the change was announced during the period when it’s too late to cancel the next kit. There should have been some advance notice, particularly when it seems USPS announced the increase several months ago.

I wouldn’t have signed up if I had known, I mostly wanted the pl kit and only signed up to the scrapbook kit to make best Use of the shipping for my 3 months of subbing, so wish I hadn’t done that now

@amayalylac $30 is the new shipping cost - it used to be $20 for the12x12 Kit. Is that International cost? That is awfully high shipping. I am sorry girls. That is a big disappointment. Does anyone have an original Terms of Service before the shipping increase? You might be able to get a refund on your kit if there is not a clause about raising shipping costs as part of your subscription. If she raised them and that is not what you agreed too you can request a cancellation. Terms of Service go both ways. I am sorry Cocoa Daisy. I am not trying to cause trouble. TOS protects your customers too. I just said this in a different post but I am not a legal expert. I do know a bit about terms of service since I use to sell digi's.

Yes they absolutely knew it was coming because Citrus twist announced months ago. And it’s all over the news here in the US that usps is raising prices, so Cocoa Daisy waiting until the last minute is either lazy or sneaky.

And I was over there just browsing and I’m sorry, $13 for 8 sheets of paper? That’s ridiculous. I’ve bought their papers on a sale before so I know the quality is high but more than a dollar a sheet? I don’t think so.

They way they handled this is shady AF. Is Cocoa Daisy the new Studio Calico? SaveSave

Has anyone contacted them about the postage increase to see if they can be let out of their subscription? It only seems fair that they let people cancel without penalty since they didn’t give them advance notice. That is a huge jump for internationals. I do think that we should see how they handle this before we start comparing them to SC. I used to love their kits, but the whole water color thing they have going on now is not for me. Man, I miss old SC and the last few kits of GB!!!!

Is that International cost? That is awfully high shipping. Yep that's the international cost. It's basically the same as the kit cost every month, which is getting ridiculous. I can get a similar amount of product in a kit shipped from Scrapbook.com for $6.99! (I did a trial the other day to check) Citrus Twist charges $21.40 for their SB kit, Hip Kit shipping is $19.95 monthly or $13.95 per month to get the bi-monthly shipping. CD shipping costs are a lot higher than everyone else.

I don’t think so. Ordinary 12x12 SB paper is NZ$2 and up per sheet here. Cardstock is usually $1.50 per sheet, unless you buy in bulk. That's why even with what are becoming exorbitant shipping costs, it's cheaper for me to buy from the USA. Not to mention the selection is way better than what's available locally.
