    That's a brilliant price!

    I'd grab it if I hadn't already got all of the stuff!
  • Wife tells me it is a good price for beginners but not an item for more experienced crafters.

    WARNING Amazon have removed this item and the carry bag bundle from sale as they are supplying both of them with parts missing and cannot (will not) send the missing items even though they list all of the items, except for the pack of scalpel blades which can be picked up for pennies, seperately on their site. I am currently arguing with them over this and pushing the loss of bargain route.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

  • Hey Molerat

    My elderly mum bought this and it was delivered yesterday but not sure if she has opened it as its for a gift. Can you let me know what I should look out for and what happens.

    cheers

    The workstation bundle is missing the pricking mat, 2 rotary cutters and a pack of scalpel blades.
    The bag bundle is missing the 4 embossing boards.

    If you contact them the CS rep will tell you that the item is not available and you can return for a refund. I am pushing that they are in breach of contract and must supply the missing items or I will purchase them elsewhere and sue for the difference in price which will be around £60.

    HTH ;)

    It now says on the item:

    Item Under Review

    This product is not currently offered by Amazon.co.uk because a customer recently told us that the item he or she received was not as described.
    We are working to resolve this as quickly as possible.

    Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I hadn't unpacked it to check the contents. Only ordered the workstation, but mine is also missing the pricking mat & mesh set. Have emailed them, will see what they have to say. Amazon are also advertising 2 other sets very similar to this - basic kit plus bits, but minus extra rotary cutters and another set too.
