    Just sent an mail saying I have placed to decent orders ( both over £60) in 2 weeks and how unhappy I was with the craft selection and I dont think both boxes together are valued at £150 let alone each one being valued at £150
    Its horrible to feel ripped off

    Personally I wouldn't have said so. I could go and buy all of that from the local craft shop for probably around £20-£25

    I'm so glad that I did not order the mystery box in the end because they sold out before I could order.I would have been really dissapointed with what you have recieved saveapenny.You should definately complain.I spent £4.87 in the craft shop and £3 on ebay today and am really pleased with what I have.
    I know it's a surprise bumper box but the items don't seem to be £150 worth at all.

    Super cards, all who made them (can''t remember who did what now...........lol) but well done:T

    Not sure about the value of the craft kit...........not a lot of stuff there I normally use........love the box and the album though

    Only Tuesday and I have done my challenge card. The picture shows it a bit yellow but it is a cream card, the parcels are a peel off, mounted on card and foampads and the dots on the side - cuttlebug (sorry I just love it so much at the moment and just want to play :grin:)

    I'm torn now! I'd made a list of 4 stamps I wanted to buy from Sir Stampalot - 3 Xmas, 1 all occasions type, fr a total of £25 but now I don't know whether I should get one/both the Artymiss bundles? Mind after your experience Saveapenny I'm not sure.....ARGH!
