How the heck is one supposed to tell how one's package has been shipped when all one has is a tracking number that is not a hot-link? Guess? I know. I ordered. I shouldn't complain. I knew what I was getting into. Srry.

Love the Lawn Fawn stamps I recently purchased, tho. And the Hero Arts.

Amber from Damask Love just posted the following on Facebook-
Throughout the development of this project, I've made several phone calls, but not one time have I initiated contact with a company to provide supplies. Instead, I've been amazed by owners contacting me, wanting to participate. I don't know about you, but it is incredibly meaningful to know that there are crafting companies out there with amazingly giving hearts. So, with that, I want to say thank you to Clear and Simple Stamps, Hero Arts, Studio Calico, Ellen Hutson LLC, Doodlebug Design, RibbonCarousel.com, Crafter's Companion USA, Bing, Lawn Fawn and Hampton Art.


Is anyone else NOT surprised that PTI didn't donate?

*******
Try doing a google search with just the tracking number you were given. It's a bit surprising, but usually Google can figure out from the number what company it belongs to.

12:35, no, I'm not. Not one single bit.

There may be compassion at PTI, but it doesn't translate into action.

Just another reason I'll continue to shop with the generous companies listed above.

=============

Oh but they are brilliant business women. They are too busy being brilliant to donate @@

Anonymous said...

If you go to USPS tracking and copy your tracking number it works just fine.

Anonymous said...

12:35 Here are more companies that donated - Facebook Cut Amber off..

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps, Market Street Stamps, Lilly Belle's Paperie,Online Card Classes, Gina K Designs, Avery Elle, Whisker Graphics ,DoodleBox Art, Xyron and My Craft Channel.

Anonymous said...

the list of companies that did not donate includes Stampin Up, Levis, Target, Walmart, Papercrafts magazine, Close to My Heart, W Plus 9, Waltzingmouse, Mama Elephant, Northwoods, Macy's, Toys R Us, Outlines Rubber Stamps, Ranger Industries, Ford Motor Company, Toyota, Johnson and Johnson, Benjamin Moore, Archer Daniels, General Electric, A Muse Arts, Baskin Robins, NY Yankees.

Are you going to stop buying from all these companies?

Anonymous said...

Nope, but I am sure going to send business to those that did!

Anonymous said...

I agree. I'm sending my money to those that contacted Amber to donate.

Anonymous said...

I don't even know this Amber or what she's collecting donations for but sometimes companies and individuals have their own way of contributing to a cause. I certainly would not boycott any company for not participating in one person or cause's drive. Now I'll go look and see what it's about but it doesn't make much difference.

example - I may not put a bill in a Salvation Army bucket at Christmas but that does not mean that I don't sit down and write a check to them.

Anonymous said...

I only saw one person above that said they would continue to buy from other companies but I did not see anyone that said they were going to boycott PTI because of it.

Personally, I am boycotting PTI for various other reasons.

Anonymous said...

Checked it out. Wonderful idea. Particularly considering her professional background. Excellent. Commendable!!!

But I still would not hold it against companies or people who do not donate. There are many channels by which people will convey their help and concern.

Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an really long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn't appear. Grrrr... well I'm not writing all that

I'm not going to boycott some company because they didn't donate to Amber's project; but, like others who've posted before me, I will consider those companies that did donate when I'm purchasing crafting supplies in the future.

Anonymous said...

I am not boycotting any company who didn't donate and I am not going to buy from any company that did. I am buying the same way I bought things and stamps before Dawn has asked for donations. I buy from whoever and wherever I want.

Um, okay.

Thanks for that "wisdom," Yoda.

There IS such a thing as lazy. And then there is telling yourself whatever you need to tell yourself to justify your laziness.

If scrolling a bit is "too hard," then I think you're pretty lazy.

Anonymous said...

scrolling isn't hard, it is annoying. ok, that make you happy? it's like waiting in line to buy something. i'm much more likely to buy if there is one person ahead of me; I'll pass if there are 5.

so this blog has become just another annoying thing. do I have to justify my feelings on that also? or can i just say if you are going to provide a spot for anonymous whining, at least take 4 seconds to pre schedule a few posts.

or come here and read the damn thing.

or not.

if I start a ptismack4, I pinky promise to keep new posts up all the time. but since I don't wish to smack PTI exclusively cause I've moved on mebbe I'll call it something else. I'll let you know after I get back from praising Jesus.

I ordered the PTI new release stuff on the 17th, and today, NINE days later, it arrived at the USPS. I get that it's Christmas and all, but seriously? NINE DAYS to even MOVE? Ridiculous. I know, I know, I should've known better. Yikes.

Anonymous said...

I think what 20:54 was saying is that her order sat in the PTI warehouse for 9 days before moving.

Maybe she ordered something that was out of stock and they held the order until it arrived. I believe they do that without telling the customer frequently.

Yes the heart dies were out of stock for a few days

Anonymous said...

@711, I am perfectly aware there was a blizzard, Christmas, and a weekend, but all of those things happened EIGHT days AFTER I placed my order. Why in the world would those things have impeded my package's progress if they hadn't even occurred yet?? I didn't order the new LL Heart dies, so I don't know if that had anything to do with it. USPS didn't even receive shipping notification until the 22nd, 5 days after I ordered. Care to make excuses for that phenomenon?

Anonymous said...

@23:40, no I'm not sure when I'm supposed to receive my order. It has officially left the Cincinnati USPS, so I will probably have it Saturday or Monday, if the snow bogs the trucks down.

1110 they have horrible service They dont care about you as a customer. All they want is your money. There are you satisfied? Isnt that what you are wanting to hear?!

Anonymous said...

11:14 maybe one of your items was on back order like 7:35 mentioned. If it's ok to ask what older items did you order?

Anonymous said...

Your order sitting for 8 days is poor customer service. what else is new?

Anonymous said...

@15:23- I certainly was NOT expecting to hear excuses being made for such poor customer service, particularly on a smack blog... I also was curious to hear if people were still waiting on orders placed around the same time I did.

@16:15- I ordered one of the Christmas TB Favorites and a set from the last release. Otherwise, everything was new.

Anonymous said...

From the forum.

"Our peak time of the month is the 15th through the 22nd. If you order during this time, please be aware that it can take 3-7 business days for your order to leave our facility.

For the December 2012 release specifically, this means that orders placed on release night will most likely ship out between Wednesday, December 19th and Wednesday, December 26th.. It is important to note that we are only able to ship on weekdays (however USPS does pick-up on Saturdays from us), so on Sunday, December 16th, as well as Saturday December 22nd and Sunday, December 23rd, shipments cannot leave our facility and are not considered business days. PLEASE NOTE, Tuesday December 25th is Christmas Day, both UPS & USPS are closed for the holiday and not making pick-ups from our warehouse."

Stop ordering during release time douchebag.

Back in November I asked a PTI forum member (who also has her own blog) if I ordered something from them would they ship international. She said she could do so and would check out charges etc. Haven't heard anything since. Guess it is too much trouble to bother with internationals - sort of the same ethic as PTI.
