    As someone who will start journaling this year and doesn't have a lot of stuff, this is truly amazing. Also, I am not an "artsy" person aka I can't draw to save my life, so I am relying on sticker and scraps etc!

    These boxes look amazing and super value for money. The spoiler thing is perfect as $50 could be a lot of money to drop on a unknown that if it was not your style it would be wasted.

    This is exactly what I've been looking for. I'm going to start a reading journal next year and I had almost no stationery/scrapbooking supplies to start, so I've been looking for paper, stickers, washi tape, stamps and ink, all kinds of things. This is PERFECT. Thanks for making this video, even if I'm a bit late to the party!

    I really feel bad saying this but I need to warn people about buying from Grabie. I was so excited by your video that I ordered the October box, a past box, and a few extras. That was 15 days ago. My order is sitting in some facility in the middle of the US for 9 days. It’s not far from my city. I’ve contacted Grabie by email 4 times to see what’s going on AND i tried on FB as well. They don’t reply. My order hasn’t moved. I don’t think people should trust them. I can understand shipping delays but not ignoring queries to customer service. Buyer beware!!!

    • @ErinSmith
      @ErinSmith  Рік тому +2

      I'm so sorry to hear that Sandi - that's not a good experience, and I feel awful that it's happened after you watched a video where I recommended them! If you'd like, I could try reaching out to my contact at Grabie and see if they can get things moving for you? I'd likely need to grab your order number and name, so I understand if you'd rather not share your personal details with a stranger on the internet, but if you'd like to you can pop me through an email - my email address is listed on the About tab of my channel - or you can drop me a DM on IG! xx

You and I have the same last name so you already have a bit of the info you need. I’ll see if I can figure out the email and send the order number. Thank you again. You’re amazing!

      I agree their customer service goes unanswered but when my box finally came I was beyond thrilled. Sadly the USPS is horrible since Covid with the people in charge of it so I don’t blame Grabie for sn item being stuck nor can they force postal to do anything. But that being said I agree in customer service from Grabie ignoring emails none of mine have been answered sadly . The box I got was nothing short of great tho so I am anxiously awaiting a note from them .

    So I have recently learned that the majority if not all of the supplies that they add into the box are from TEMU and JournalSay... I was able to price together their entire September themed box (except for two sets of paper) for only $27... with shipping. It's a scam. Don't waste your money on this sub.

    • @ErinSmith
      @ErinSmith  Рік тому +1

      That’s a fair point - a lot of their items are available elsewhere. I think the value here lies in the time-saving factor - everything in the box already goes with everything else in the box, so you don’t have to think about what to use with what, or spend hours scouring sites for supplies. It just shows up every month! I’m sure it’s not the right fit for everyone, but I think calling it a scam is a bit strong 😅

    I'm a little worried that the tweezers look exactly like the ones you got from Temu(?) if I remember correctly. It really makes me question where they source their items, and if it's really ethical and sustainable. Might have to do more research into the company.

    • @ErinSmith
      @ErinSmith  Рік тому +2

      Yeah they clearly aren’t manufacturing everything themselves, but I don’t think there’s necessarily anything nefarious about them stocking the same stationery as some other online retailers. They mention on their site that they’re based between both Shanghai and LA, so my assumption is that the Shanghai contingent are sourcing and curating the Chinese-sourced items like the tweezers and the paper packs (and possibly overseeing production of their in-house art supplies). I haven’t tried Temu yet, I think I got those first tweezers from Stationery Pal?
