Does anyone know what has happened to Dies By Dave? I would like to get some of his dies by the site appears to be down. It says "Be back soon". Define "Soon".
Well, I sent him an e-mail this a.m. and he already replied. He said "is this the e-mail to send a paypal invoice?" So, I guess I'll be ordering the dies for Lovely as a Tree. Yay!
I went on yesterday after seeing this post and ordered two die sets and they have been shipped this morning with a credit to my pay pal for shipping. I love his service and that I can get dies to sets I want to use for a long time.
I am not sure but I think he is here in the good ol' U. S. of A. He is very prompt to respond and ship. I wondered if he made a certain die when he gets an
order for it. Just an idea I had.
Tampatha .. I am in Australia and have ordered from him with no problem. It's been a while but I seem to remember that he charged $20 postage but refunded 13$ back. Couldn't have been happier with his service or prices.

Won't somebody think of the paint chips?
Every time I see a Dies by Dave thread I have to peek in.
Well I've been yearning for the Roses plate die that he made, at some point. I saw samples of it on Pinterest and it looked exactly like a die cut roses panel that SU offered in a small card kit a few years ago.
I was going to send him a message about this die plate, but others have said that he hasn't responded. So when I was checking the dies he had available, he had this dorky looking rose die (available) that looks like it just presses out lines that are kind of in the shape of a rose....when I read the description of the "Rose Die plate, it said it measured the exact same measurement as that shown on the Pintrest link, and the price was the same. It also said it cut an intricate rose pattern....nothing about embossing a rose pattern.
After reading this description, I decided to order it HOPING that it really is the rose plate I've been lusting after. So my question is, do any of you know if the rose plate die he has available on this website right now is the the rose plate like the one on the Pinterest link? (I'm guessing Amber might know since she's a Dies by Dave Afficianato. 8-))
Susy...I saw that rose plate thing and didnt think it could be a die but who knows. There are many more I want but they are sold out. Im so tickled I got the set for Lovely as a Tree! They will be here tomorrow!
I just went and checked it out again and I am happy to see that he still has the dies from when he first started. They are sold out of course but that is okay. I am on a tight budget for now and this gives me hope that after July the older one should be in stock and I can get them. I am very excited about that.

How fun that you were able to get the dies for Lovely as a Tree! I was able to snag those a few months ago when he was part of Shop Envy...the "shopping experience" was nothing to envy, that webstore was the WORST, however, the dies are awesome and match the trees so well. You will be pleased, I'm sure!
As for the weird rose plate offering, the reason I decided to take a chance that it might be the gorgeous cut rose plate is this. I've noticed when Dave has a die that looks exactly like a SU piece, he will either put a cartoon sketch depicting it (like the lumberman one), or just show some image that doesn't match the actual description he provides for the item. In the case of the weird rose plate, the description does not match the image he has with item, it describes the cut rose plate that I've been looking for.
Time will tell if my guess is right! I will report back here when it arrives.
The rose plate is the one that was included in a kit a while ago. You won't be disappointed. It is beautiful.
Yippee!!! I am delighted to hear that the rose plate die IS like the rose background die cut that SU had in the kit. That is EXACTLY what I was hoping it was! Thank you for the info. :grin:
Does anyone know how long it takes him to restock the dies???
No set schedule that I can figure out! It seems like he will have nothing or next to nothing available for an extended period, and then the next thing you know there are a number of dies available....but not for long.
My suggestion is that you bookmark his website and make a habit of checking it every day or two. He likely won't be adding any new dies to his site until he gets all his orders filled, delivered and takes a break. Hope you are able to get what you have been wanting the next time around!

What is Dave's email address?
Also,I have seen 2 sites for Dave. Which is the correct one?
Just checked the website and almost all is sold out. Anyone know when Dave will have new dies? I subscribed, but does he send out anything?
Jane (Mikwaukie, OR)
Dave has a waiting list. Email him tell him what you are interested in. He may put you on a waiting list.

NO. Just email him your order. That is what I have done in the past.

Thanks for your quick response. When do you give him your credit card info?
Dave sends me a paypal invoice

I have tried numerous times to get a response from email. so far I have placed 2 orders but haven't gotten anything just yet. Granted it say it can take 2 weeks just to send it out. I just wish he would respond back about when he expects to have more dies. :-(...I look every day to see if dies I am looking for are available. No dice yet but HOPING!

It has never taken 2 weeks to receive an order from Dave for me. Dave sends out paypal notice, did you receive one??

Don't know what the problem is. I would try again. I do know he is a one man operation, no help. He also has a "regular" job. This is a side business for him.

I just e-mailed him about an order and got a response in an hour and a half. He answered my question and order is shipped! I had heard to give him 10-12 days so I e-mailed on day 13. Yeah, little impatient here. My second order with him, no complaints here. I used [email protected] also.
