Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:04:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5 By: Cheryl Balmas http://www.beckyhiggins.com/blog/2012/07/when-will-the-products-get-here/#comment-177932 Cheryl Balmas Mon, 30 Jul 2012 19:09:09 +0000 http://www.beckyhiggins.com/blog/?p=14881#comment-177932 Well for one people always need more plastics and for another, some of us just heard of PL last Christmas and have been waiting since early 2012 for Core Kits. For the longest time the only one available was Cobalt. And once again the core kits came and went in a day and some of us can’t sit in front of the computer 24/7 hoping to score one while others are buying a few at a time. Sorry to sound whiny but how long is long enough to be ‘patient’ when you’ve been trying to get ONE core kit since Feb/early March and its now August (in 2 days). I don’t know about anyone else but I work among other things and I have limited time to work on and get projects done. I also set goals and I’m 6-7 months behind my goal of catching up on photo albums. Some don’t mind being ‘patient’ and I agree…these are great products but I gotta get a move on. Life is short (4 people my age have passed away unexpectedly in the last 6 months…40′s and early 50′s!) and while patience is great, life is unpredictable. And being as organized as I am I strive to meet my goals. Sorry this is long and whiny and sounding ‘impatient’ but as great as the products are, I am looking into other options for 3×4 and 4×6 journal cards. They won’t be boxed as nice as PL or be all matchy matchy but I will have to be creative. I’m thrilled for all of you who got product or have product, but just realize there are some of us who don’t and can’t seem to get it. However, I will still continue to support the PL concept and continue to buy plastics, but as for the core kits, I am out of time. Nor do I have the time to print out the digital versions (cost and time prohibitive…uses too much ink!)

Have just kept checking my wish list every day (sometimes twice) and low & behold. . . . There it was! Yippee!!,

Others have never been able to get their core kit because it has been out of stock for so long.

Core kits are on Amazon and I didn’t think they would be available until after the plastics. And they just randomly showed up without any announcement. What’s the deal?

I may still stalk Amazon, because anticipation makes you appreciate things SOOO MUCH!!!!!!!! (Oh, yea, and because I want to get my hands on some things before they sell out. Yea, and I KNOW they are going to sell out. Trust me.)

You are one in a million. I know it’s been said before but I don’t know ANY other folks/businesses who are so diligent in communicating with their ‘peeps’ regarding new products/timelines/etc.
You are truly amazing.
Thanks from this happy customer!

I am super excited. I bought a set of inserts and am already planning stuff out. :)

I forgot to say that while I was at the CK Convention — many years ago — I met your Mom. Her name tag said, “Becky’s Mom. Yes, that Becky!” She is SO CUTE!!! But, you already know that. :)

Thank you so much for keeping us posted. I do not “need” and products right now but I really wanted to get in on your made in America shipments and also get in on the current prices. That would be my only issue with not getting the products I want next week. Like I said, I really don’t “need” them until January 1 when I plan to start my next album. I just really WANT them! :-)

I am so thrilled – my silly little comment on your recent FB thread got put into your latest blog post – thanks, Becky! You made my day!

What I am totally relieved with is that they finally gave you some info so we’re not all sitting here like weirdos at our computers all day; at least we know now, and it’s completely worth the wait!

Thanks, Becky :)

Why are people needing product now? I bought in a year increment and bought stuff I thought I might need. Am I different for having done that? (It’s my first year.) I didn’t get started until July so I’m all set for the rest of the year. Is it because of the new pocket thingies? Is it what Annie wrote above that the stuff will sell out right away? I’m feeling really dumb right now.

As much as I would love them here now, I’m not worried about waiting. What does worry me about waiting is that after the long wait- first it was the end of June, then the first week of July, then mid-July, now beginning of August, they will immediately sell out. So people that have been waiting a very long time will still not be able to get them because Ebay sellers will clean them out within an hour or two. Do you have any numbers to report to us about the expected AMOUNT of product? So that some of us might just move on rather than wait all this time for something that we still won’t be able to get after it immediately sells out?

I, for one, am happy that they’re delayed since I’m going to CKC this weekend. :) Don’t want to buy TOO many scrapbook supplies in one week — well, I don’t mind, but, I’m sure my husband does.

This gives me more time to get organized and figure out exactly how many packs of which kind of protector I need to get all my kids’ STUFF into a school album (they are both in college…ACK!).

Thanks for all you do, Becky!

Charging it to my husband’s credit card of course. I’m not happy about it not being available today but will be happy once it’s in my hands.

I am waiting patience, and don’t plan on getting stress out about it either. I have plenty of back-up in hand. Thank you again for all your hard work, Becky!!!

I will be away on vacation but I can order from the beach on my trusty iphone and will have a package of Becky Higgins to console me when I am facing piles of vacation laundry. Speaking from experience, running a successful business is not easy but you make it look effortless! :)
