I’ve no interest in the playground because of the way it was rolled out. Discount it, then raise the price, then close access. That’s a fairly transparent membership grab others have used in the past. For me it’s a huge turn off......
Her shipping, which will soon be a moot point, is high but she ships lightening fast! I couldn’t believe how fast I got my order.

Ditto on the marketing for her playground. My guess is that it won't be closed long......not fond of games so gave it zero consideration :cool:

Bubbles: The choice of shipping speed is printed right next to the price during checkout . The eleven dollars you paid was either a 1st class or priority option so they did not honor their agreement with you. I chose priority mail and I still haven't received my second order so likely sent media mail as well (12 days and counting :() If it does show up media mail, I'll be asking for a partial refund of shipping fees. Her prices are exorbitant for even 1st class or priority and no way I'm paying that much for media mail. And dividing orders does not work unless they are days apart because they just combine them all in a media mail box.
I like Lauren's instruction well enough but have limited my past purchases in part because some of her actions have been off-putting/somewhat sketch. I feel more comfortable with instructors who are upfront/honest. I try to factor in that dealing with the public can change you but no excuse for not providing a paid service. As far as I am concerned, gouging on shipping then sending lower class violates the mini contract we make on the check out page. Lauren could use a few lessons from Amy Bento, Cathe etc. A little class goes a long way and being underhanded to save an extra buck can come back to haunt you. That's not the kind of person I want on the playground with me.....
PS--I have actually enjoyed SUAT for add-ons. Simple enough to really heavy up and just the right length. I like her better in the newer stuff than I did in her 1st 3 volumes. If only I don't feel too soured by the shipping games. Argh.
