Great customer service

I took out a subscription today for the Winnie the Pooh embroidery and was extremely excited waiting to receive my first issue. I couldn’t find out roughly when it would be delivered so gave customer service a call. I spoke to a lovely lady who had recently joined the company. She was so lovely and explained she is also doing the embroidery and loved it. Unfortunately I was hoping it would come for my holiday. Sadly I knew I was expecting to much and she told me it could be a couple of weeks. I’ll just have to keep the excitement going for a little longer. It was really nice to chat to somebody with the same interests. Hatchett part works. You have amazing customer service.

Over priced for what you get

I really think that it’s a nice idea however it’s very overpriced for what you’re getting. You don’t get a lot of pieces to paint. I’ve seen people overseas by the books for like two dollars or something to that nature three dollars maybe and the paint is not anything special, you could literally go to the craft store and buy a bunch of paint for less than one subscription. I wish I could pick what I wanted and be done with it because I’m really interested in the Alice in Wonderland some of the stuff that they show you you don’t get all the pieces in one subscription you get like a piece of this and a piece of that it’s not Conducive. I personally think it should be about $20 cheaper and I think I wouldn’t mind but currently I’m literally just waiting out for the picture that I want and they don’t canceling.

I’m sorry to hear that you feel the value of the collection doesn’t meet your expectations and that the subscription model hasn’t worked out as you hoped, especially regarding pricing and the distribution of pieces. I completely understand how frustrating this must be when you’re passionate about certain items like the Alice in Wonderland collection.
