I really do love the magazines and it has been just what I needed for starting into the hobby and not knowing how to paint. Only reason it’s not a 5 star rating is because we don’t get the same perks... See more

Lovely collection of Peter Rabbit cross stitch 4 season samplers. But lots of other patterns and ideas too. The designs can also be used individually or put together as a sampler as intended.

Good but could be great.…

I love the magazines but the UK has options to buy single copies along with the subscriptions and for some that would be a game changer good example the infernus marines comes with 5 guys and the the extra Sergeant is a separate mag BUT infernus come in boxes of 10 theres no way to fill the squad without a second magazine or after market purchase. Would love the single magazines purchase option.

Current package plus the last two , not good

Now this is for this current package and the last 2 packages.
All 3 have been late. Also with no communication until I emailed them. Im giving a 3 star becuse they did use a box to ship my last package. If it was not delivered in a box , then I would be giving them a one. My current package is still delayed. Which in turn pushes back my delivery dates. That is unacceptable and i'm tired of the apologies of sorry there's nothing we can do. You know what stock you need what are the appropriate amount. And do something about your computer systems , because apparently they're not good. You guys are becoming more like a company that shall not be named , and that's not a good thing. Your parts are still amazing. The build is amazing. Getting the parts to the people , not so much. Once they can fix their delivery times and gets stuff out on time without excuses. I know how warehouses and shipping and all that work.I worked in a warehouse. So no need for an explanation. Please just get me my parts on time. And always Use a box.

Poor company and customer service. I have no subscription on my account yet they still charge me then refuse to refund unless I pay to send a product back I did not ask for. No help at all from customer service. Do not use this company

Great service

I bought issues of the Winny the Pooh quilt making series for my Mum. My Mum enjoys making things and has been excited to get all the issues she had missed from the series so far.

The website was easy to navigate. It is great that you can select individual issues. Delivery was quick - great service as I bought a number off issues at the same time. They all arrived at the same time and delivery was free due to the number of issues bought at once. This was a great service that I will use again to help my Mum complete her quilt!.

Ups handing off to USPS must stop

Ups handing off to USPS must stop, I pay for shipping and the USPS handling of packages is incorrect, unprofessional and damaging to the package. A neighbor found it sitting on the grass at the base of our (because it did not fit in it)mailbox cluster brought it to my house, my other neighbor brought it over because it was in her mailbox not mine. Rough handling jamming it in the mail box with other mail.
