Default What ever happened to Dream Impressions?

Back in 2002, an online friend sent me a catalog of theirs (I was not impressed).

So what happened to them?

They no longer have demos. Last I checked, it is a website only where you can sign people up to subscribe and get a commission if they buy stamps. Looks like making this a business is a more complicated than they realized. I don't even know if they're still around.

When I still lived in Wisconsin I did had a workshop at my home for a dream impressions demo. The whole time she was there she bad mouthed Stampin' Up. I really didn't like that at all. At the time I wasn't a demo for SU, just a very good customer. When I moved to Arkansas and thought about having a home based buisness, it didn't take much for me to decide which way to go, and it wasn't with dream impressions. If all their demos acted the same way this one did it doesn't surprise me in the least that the company didn't make it.

Hmmm... interesting. I was wondering about this. Thanks for posting about DI.

I also had a bad experience with DI. I booked a workshop and then the demo called to say that the company was doing away with their demos. That was it! Had to go to the website to get more info. And, when I placed a catalog order with the demo (one of her last ones) she overcharged me!!! She did (after about 2 months) make it right, but even if they are still in business...NO WAY!!! They SUCK!! IMHO

I bought my eyelet-setting pliers about a year ago from an eBay seller who said her sister was a DI demo. It was one of the worst transactions I've ever been part of. It turned out that the pliers weren't even in her possession at the time of the auction -- they had to be ordered (I now know this is an eBay violation). Then, after the package didn't arrive when the shipping confirmation I received said it would and I contacted her to find out what was going on, she said they were backordered and couldn't tell me anything about when they'd be delivered to her or when I could expect to receive them. Neither could her demo sister. I thought the whole mess was handled very unprofessionally, and a couple of months had passed by the time my pliers finally came. It took a little while before I could bring myself to use them because I was so frustrated. Needless to say I left negative feedback, and vowed never to do business with her or Dream Impressions ever again.

Dream Impressions appears to still be in business. They have a website at www.dreamimpressions.com and it seems to be current since they have a free shipping special that goes through the end of April.
