Hi Tina!!! Cute craft goodies!!! I need to stop at my Joann’s hopefully tomorrow.. I normally shop online, but I know the store has more fun stuff. TFS!! Hugs. Gloria 🌺
Nice haul and I really miss my local Joann’s store. It closed down a few months ago. I can always take a 1 hour and 15 minutes drive to get away. Tfs ❤❤❤
I don’t think it’s totally on American Crafts. They are at the mercy of their distribution centers. Joann’s can only put on the floor what they receive, and then when they do receive it, you’re now at the mercy of them stocking it. But I bought a lot of the new Shimelle, and some Jen Hadfield stuff for as low as $1.99 on line plus free shipping. So it’s coming.
Nice haul! So I was at Franks a couple of weeks ago with some crafty pals and he told us that AC is extremely slow in shipping products out to its retailers that's why sometimes pre-orderd are delayed for an enormous amount of time. AC really needs to really get it together!! 😂
I need to see if my store restocked the $1 bin. Nice finds :) It’s really annoying that Joann’s and the designers keep advertising on Instagram that they have the new collections in the store but they really don’t. Even my store on the app stows like 2 of each in stock but when you go in the store or go to order for pick up, there’s nothing or your order gets canceled. Anyway, thanks for sharing, Tina 🩷
Great haul. I had gone to a couple of Joanne's and I was so disappointed because they were empty. I just give up. I had preordered in May the new collection from Bea Valin, Sketchboard. The stores were to received it by the end of May. I did not get it until almost the end of July. I was so annoyed. I don't like to preorder for that same reason. Tfs.
So many great finds!!! JoAnns could absolutely thrive if their stores were well-stocked and organized, and if the website had all of their inventory listed. Heck, the inventory that is listed online almost never matches what's actually in store, at least in my area. The worst part is if they show three or less of an item in store, you cannot purchase for online pick-up, only shipping. All of these issues have been problems for years, again, at least in my area. I don't know how they stay in business, and it makes me so sad, because these are easy fixes. Sorry for the rant. I love seeing what goodies you get!
Nice haul. I agree with you on these collections are so late or if any not out yet. But you have to also remember that this year Joann File for Bankruptcy as well. So, they are hurting financially. So, they might not take in to much products at this time do their hardship of debt. I won't be surprise in 2025 that they will closed so more Joann stores. That just my opinion.
Thanks for sharing! I've been searching my local Joann with no luck. My stores don't carry the designer papers. I was wondering if only the stores that usually carry the collections have dollar bins?
My stores don’t have the dollar bins. I was there Saturday to get some of the new collections. They didn’t have anything out but I asked and they had some stuff in the back. Joann’s takes forever to put their shipments out on the shelves! It’s so annoying.
Agreed! I put in a large order online for pickup at my local store, and almost the entire thing was cancelled. Turns out the inventory was still in boxes in the back. 😢
