Default Addicted to Rubber Stamping is doing it again!

I got an email saying that for Friday the 13th, they are having sales of up to 87 percent off!!! So I'm going over and take a peek around.

I can't find the items that are 87% off. Are they just mixed in with all the others?

If you read on the front page about the 87 percent off, at the end of the little blurb it says "shop now". Click on that. They have tons of stuff on sale but I didn't want to see the stickers and all that other stuff, so I clicked on Pinpoint for the rubber stamps.

Some items are only 31 percent off though.

Well, the early birds must have gotten all the 87% off items. I have just wasted half an hour on this site and did not find a SINGLE item that was 87% off.

I looked too and I was on there early this morning. The small print says that there is only one of each item at 87% off, so unless you were the first person to get that item you don't get that price. After the first item is sold they are 31% off (which is still a good deal if you really want something).

So, if you are lucky enough to get that one item, is the 87% taken off at the checkout? Otherwise it is 31%off?

A couple of things I had in my basket showed up at 87 percent off. But I didn't really want them. I was just fooling around so I put them back. (Like I'm standing in a store or something)

I think all the prices are showing 31 percent until they get in your cart. Then, if no one else has purchased one, you get 87 percent off. That's kinda of misleading.

i thought the whole thing was a hoax - i couldn't get onto the site, then I could only shop by the company logos so I couldn't find any f the bargains - what a bummer! I just got a whole box of stuff from them and would have ordered more - I thought they had great customer service, but patooey on this sale.

Okay the way I read it was he first item was 87% off from a selected list of items and then the rest 37% off but seemed like things I didn't want and it was really unorganized and a mess, I ended up just not ordering like the rest of you lol. I think they were hoping for the rush they got last time from us, didnt plan well tho in my opinion

Once I went over there and looked around, I was highly disappointed. Nothing in the email I received said anything about everything was 31 percent AFTER 87 percent. It just seemed a little bit helter-skelter for me.

Same here. One item in my cart came in at 87% but everything else was 31% I put everything back on the shelf. :( There's nothing I dislike more than to be misled (or creative advertising as they see it) by saying that there's a sale at 87% off and you don't get it at that. Tried to get on but couldn't for a while then later was able to.

I ordered from them when they had their 25% off sale a few weeks ago. I put in a HUGE order ($135), and was quite disappointed when my order took 3 weeks to ship, and then I was charged an extra customs fee @ the post office when I picked it up! After the shipping and extra fee, I actually didn't save any $ at all, and would have been better off buying them somewhere else I'm sure!

It was my first time buying from them, but I don't think I'll shop with them again.

It was on Friday the 13th. But frankly, the advertising was misleading. I went over there on Friday and put several things in a basket and they were all at 31 percent (which isn't bad but tell me that). Of course once you get over there and start reading, once someone purchased one of the 87 percent off items, you couldn't get it at that price. Kinda strange because it did NOT say that in the email I received.

I agree. I looked around a bit myself on Friday. I have to admit that I'll continue to look over there. I bought some stuff a few weeks back that was significantly less expensive than anywhere else.

It was on Friday that I took over two hours time looking for the items that were 87% off. I just posted yesterday....
Blessings.
