I’ve never been on the site before but after your post I put “create and craft” into my browser but I’ve no idea whether it’s the right one. I’ve put a screen shot below. The channel’s still not live or taking any orders. Even if I wanted to order something I certainly wouldn’t risk it now.
I put in the old .tv address when it was used under Ideal World and thought the worst had happened when it didn't load up.
As happened with Ideal World, if the channel goes to slate with no sound Sky will pull the channel within 24 hours. The same will happen to Freeview after 12 weeks.
Yea that’s the right one, the page has been updated with the new One Day Special you can’t buy
Yes. They are saying that they can't take payments but you can't add anything to your basket either.
I thought prices had got dearer, but I remenber Martyn Parker say once, in the early days, they would have a Die POTD and it would be over £100.
I finally ordered 2 small boxes, my first ever IW3 purchase.I hope that no one here ordered anything from C&C before the announcement because it probably won’t arrive, depending on the reasons behind the “issue.”
I ordered something from IW before their demise but luckily it was delivered on the day that they stopped taking orders. Other customers weren’t as fortunate.
I’ve ordered nothing from IW since their return.
What was her moneymaker product?
The Enveloper (You can make multiple sizes of cards, envelopes and boxes with it):
This is a later version. The original was made of wood. If my memory serves me right they were made by her father in their garden shed.
I remember just basic shaped nesting dies were anything from £100 to £150. Hasten to add I didn’t buy them at that price. Can’t remember how much the die cutting machines were. The more popular they became brought the price down. I’ve still got my Grand Caliber machine but bought an electronic Kit n Caboodle one a couple of years ago as it hurt my poor old shoulders to manually use the GC.
And with that in mind; what will happen to all the very expensive orders we’ve paid for? Will the customers be the last to be refund? It’s usually the little guys that get done over in bankruptcy.
Here, Here! C&C tried to diversify into all crafts rather than card crafting. There are many genres within that. Instead we have weekends that turned into weekdays of crotchet and other banal arts. Like QVC and Hochanda they have their favourites: Highlights Craft (Stephanie Wightman) has so many subsidiaries. JND; AALL and Create. Great crafts but it’s overkill at the expense of the smaller guys like Indigo Blu. The profit C&C must have made. However; the many orders Ive returned because of logistic incompetency. They were and still are, slow to refund. I have quite a few orders outstanding. C&C also ‘bent’ the law of ‘distance selling’ and wouldn’t repay. All they did was amend the missing information in their T&Cs
I think they have to broadcast on TV to keep their channel slot.
