“I have purchased from Stampin' Up for about 15 years. I now have two debilitating chronic conditions that have kept me from making many cards. There is a special this month to become a demonstrator - $125 of product for $35. I have been determined to make cards, so I joined, but only as a hobbyist.
Placed my order and Got an email from SU on joining. The link wouldn't work. My current demonstrator sent a link.to join her FB group. Didn't work either. After many emails with.her, she told me it wouldn't work on my phone, only my computer. I DO NOT have one and this was never mentioned. Too much stress from all the emails have worsened my health.
I agree with other comments about the prices. And what really pisses me off is that when I order certain products, it isn't listed on them what colors they are. Such as a pack of 5 colors of cardstock I just got. If I don't use it right away, I don't remember. SU charges so much that you would think that they could provide that service.
For other reasons, I am fed up with SU. The best thing about them is some of their gorgeous DSP. I like the 6x6 packs, but there are so many duplicates that I will never use them up.”
“I have used Stampin Up! products for years! I've always loved the products but feel like the quality has taken a huge hit. Paper is thinner, inks dry up and have to be replaced, not much creativity tools anymore, plastic like watercolor pencils that just won't put down any pigment. There are other companies out there that give a quality product for less money. Also, they churn out so much new product that the demonstrators can't keep up. It feels like a money grab to me. I don't like the direction the company is going. Being a direct marketing company is already a handicap for them. People just don't shop that way anymore.”
