A little bit of help. . .
Patience is not my thing- it never has been. Particularly when it comes to scrapbook products! So, I VERY much understand the frustration some of you might be having who aren't seeing the site or who are experiencing errors. Again, most of the errors have to do with the site not populating in full yet (even if you see the home page). It has not be a full 24 hours yet since we flipped the switch and can take up to 3 days.
I will make this commitment- if you are unable to order what you would like by the time you get in (even if it is next week), I will get you want you want. That is how confident that I am in my quantities. So, send us a note at that time if you missed out on something you really wanted. Hopefully this will help as I know the frustration comes from just wanted the product (which by the way I am flattered about)!
We are doing what we can at the moment, but Ruth and I are not programmers (far from it!) and it is Saturday which makes it a little more difficult.
Here are a couple of things I have resolved that might be helpful:
- the login/my account link in the top right hand corner is not something you want to use right now. We are still refining that page. Some of you are going directly there to set up an account before trying to checkout (and it is a little glitchy). So, if you put items in your cart and checkout, you will be asked for the info. needed to set up the account there and you shouldn't have anymore problems.
- if you get a "can't calculate shipping error" this is coming from the USPS. They don't like something in your address and are unable to verify it. 99% of the time it is just do to a typo (but lets us know if it isn't and we will figure it out).
Pin It!

Thanks for the update Jenni! As long as I know that I'm not doing something wrong I can handle 3 days or so! You take such good care of us (even when it's out of your control!) and I have never been disappointed! Thank you!

I am from the UK and managed to order, eventually! However it would not accept as a membership option so I orderd as a one-off kit.

I wish the pictures of the monthly kit were better (close up) so we could see the the papers and other kit items better.

still wondering if it is holding memberships from before the switch?? when i have tried to check out it tells me it does not know my account (from before) and when i click to get the membership of the project kit, it tells me i already have one (which i did before) but it does not tell me that for the papercrafting kit (which i also had before)...

Just a tip for anyone in the UK getting the USPS error message....try selecting England from the country listing ( as opposed to UK ) I did and have successfully checked out with membership.
Yippee!! So looking forward to this kit. I think this is my favourite yet....I say that each month! Thanks Jenni and team for such inspiring kits!
