Prices and shipping are getting too expensive. The Blending markers do not last. I have some that were hardly used and the tips are now mushy. Pushing too many new products and retiring others that haven't been out for long is ridiculous. The company seems to be using gimmicks to get you to make more purchases. The free shipping that they have periodically is a joke. You have to spend $75 to qualify. And now the new rewards program is also a joke. If you use your rewards towards your purchase and go below the minimum purchase you don't qualify for rewards. It's one gimmick after another. I will be buying my crafting supplies elsewhere. I have been a customer for many years but the prices are prohibitive for me now. I suspect Stampin Up will price themselves out of business.
