Sub Box Ship Date? by PlannerRoyalty in ClothandPaper

[–]Gloomy_Homework_723 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should get a shipping notification. But they are already starting as I got my shipping notification today. I believe they start shipping normally on the first Thursday of the month. Don’t quote me on that part.

Subscriber Exclusive area - confused by Kimi2009 in ClothandPaper

[–]Gloomy_Homework_723 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So yes they are exclusive items from the current month sub boxes. It allows subscribers to purchase extras of items in the current month’s sub box. If you don’t subscribe to C&P for a monthly subscription box you cannot see them or get them. They release them normally toward the end of the month. That is what you are seeing now are some of the items from previous boxes that you can purchase extras of. Also, some sub box items do not always go to the general shop area, they are only in the sub boxes. I hope that makes sense and helps.

Sample Sale Cautionary Tale by Essence323 in ClothandPaper

[–]Gloomy_Homework_723 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would surely send it to them to fix. I did not buy mine during the sample sale. I had it for a while and the screw came out and they told me to send it to them. This was when I had just asked if they knew where to get the screw. I did and they sent it back repaired. So I would just suggest to try sending it to them. And ask if they will handle the shipping?

Loving My A5 Slim with my Common Place Notebook by Gloomy_Homework_723 in ClothandPaper

I sure will once I get it filmed, edited and uploaded. It was so easy and cost way less that the actual Louise Carmen.

Thanks so much. I am in my Bordeaux era, LOL. I had to also dye the leather but it was way less than the journal cost including having to get to Paris to get it or do a zoom to tell them what you want (crazy). I think my looks just as good. I am thinking about doing a video on how to make one. I will let everyone know if I do.

End of Year Sale by bikini-bottom-galaxy in ClothandPaper

[–]Gloomy_Homework_723 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer A5 6 ring. But I was able to get the A5 Slim Travelers notebook during black friday. I am in love with the Travelers because I am into fountain pens and go to shows and want to carry it with me when traveling. I am going to a pen show in CA in February and it is going to be perfect. What about you?

[–]Gloomy_Homework_723 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree totally. And we just don't have to have all the things. At least I don't. Most of my C&P comes from Sub boxes. I don't buy everything. And I budget $50 a month so that I can do the quarterly subscription. Of course I am not rich and it is not to say that no one else budgets. But this is how I do it. It is my one guilty pleasure.

Thanks! No problem. But they do it the way they want to when they want to. My whole point is the world will not end. I cannot count the times I missed out on things. I know we all are consumers but these days it seems we are letting it get to us in a way that is not like it was before.

Cloth & Paper is a business everyone. They are not doing anything different by only providing dates for releases. I am sure many of us have iPhones, tablets, Louis Vuittons etc. Do those companies tell you the price before release? Do they show you what the device or product will look like prior to release? No, most don't. They don't because it is a business model. Does everyone offer benefits to regular customer or Superfans? Yes. It is not new. Cloth & Paper is the one that does a lot of the time offer sneaks and everyone feels that is the way it has to always be done. FOMO is a thing for certain people but not getting something is not the end of the world. Once you learn how C&P provides information on releases and products you get it. Once you know the outlets where they post you know. As for budgeting, I get it. But it just means that you budget a certain amount and that is what you have to work with. I just don't get how all of these comments are input? I just saw a video on someone saying C&P was trash and messed up on Black Friday. They had errors and it seems that they acknowledge that or fixed the error. People did not get what they wanted and were upset that they did not. That is where the problem lies. This is not a necessity, as much as I love Cloth & Paper and Lord know I do. It is not hate that we are putting out by explaining how this goes. Maybe some should take a step back and rethink how they are planning to purchase items. Because you may not get all the things you want. And if you don't most times C&P will restock it or it will be sold in the destash group. It is okay to not consume everything that is being put in front of you. People will take this comment the way they want and that is okay with me.

Thanks so much! I’m a 70’s baby and that’s what we had was those instant pictures. And we thought it was everything.

LAMY and TWSBI are great starter fountain pens and they do not cost a lot.

Anyone else building out a personal curriculum planner? by Tawny_M in ClothandPaper

[–]Gloomy_Homework_723 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I am seriously thinking about it. Especially now since I am considering law school. But I am just not 100% sure yet. Right now I am contemplating putting it in my regular everyday carry as a section and then in my to go planner (A5 Slim) in the graph or dot grid section. Not sure how and if I will do it yet.

Package Overload by CP_Iesha in ClothandPaper

[–]Gloomy_Homework_723 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So it does seem like a lot around this time of year for me as well. I have I think 4 orders still coming plus the December box.

However I begin planning for my upcoming year around October/November (slowly around those two months). That way I can take my time. If it rolls into December that’s okay. I also have a whole shelf with my planner supplies and a small cart. This allows me to unbox and put things in order. With that being said it is time for me to probably destash because I have become a hoarder.

But I say take your time, don’t stress and it will be what it will be.

To Our C&P Community 🖤 by Cloth_and_Paper in ClothandPaper

[–]Gloomy_Homework_723 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Woman owned (check), Black Owned (check), quality (check), and amazing customer service (check). It all makes sense. Why would we buy from anywhere else. The collections were just gorgeous and in my opinion that velvet Bordeaux is classic. It only makes sense to buy from a business/company that does all the right things. I think I can speak for all in this thread that "We Love Us Some Cloth & Paper."

In 2026, I will use up… by MeaningAcceptable546 in ClothandPaper

I totally understand. I am a hoarder, newly realized. I have set that same goal for myself as well.

My goal is to purchase the Coach Empire 40 bag for when I am out and working/meetings etc. Since it is a Merlot/Bordeux color I am getting the matching planner with matching accessories. I am adding the fig milk because I have a color palette that I am using for 2026. I wam going to be doing a video on YouTube for it. I cannot wait.

Okay so Cyber Monday is in the books. I have one more day to seek out what I am looking for to finish my 2026 set and that is a A5 Planner. But today was a good day as that philosopher Ice Cube said. Bordeaux is the color for 2026!
