Default carpediemstore.com?

I have never orderd from carpiediem and was wanting to order some copic sketch markers. It looks like all colors are in stock?? HUmmmmm. Everyone else is out of a lot. Do they show on the wed site they are out of stock or do they show a different delivery date AFTER you place your order.

I hope you understand my question?!!!

Thanks,

Hi! I went to that website yesterday and if I recall correctly on some of the "ciaos" that I was ordering it just said "sold-out!" After I chose the others that I wanted it came to around $25.00 and change. Ok not bad, but when the shipping came up it was fedex ground $12.00 and change. Well needless to say I didn't order. :(

Good luck!

P.S. Anyone know of an inexpensive place to order copics from? TIA

I've ordered my Copics (sketch) from CarpeDiem and there has been colors that have been sold out and it usually says so by the list price.

I've had both sides of the speed of shipping. First order seemed to take forever (about 3 weeks from order date). Second order came within 1 week.

Darn it! I just went to the website and the copics are listed now at $3.85 (I just paid $4.25 for my orders. :mad The free shipping is now for if your order is at least $80 AND ONLY includes sketch markers AND 1 of the markers must be one of the 12 new colors. Your receipt will show shipping added, but they manually take it out before it gets charged to your card. (I haven't had any problems with being charged for shipping.)

Sigh. I hate when I miss a sale by this much :(

I went with Suzanne Dean's starter list on her blog: http://scrapbitz.blogspot.com/
You'll have to scroll down the right side to PDF/Downloads section and it's the first one listed.

After reading through many lists, it seemed like Suzanne's was similiar to what everyone else recommends for color grouping. (Warning: even though it's a starter list, it has at least 60 or so markers listed! And I want more!!! She breaks it down according to color families such as browns, pinks, reds, blues, etc.) If you have the $80 to spend (i.e plan to buy at least 21 markers), go with CarpeDiem since they seem to be the most "in stock" of the Sketch markers. (I hate to wait for back order.)

I purchased the starter list over 2 orders. I decided what I was most likely to "color". (In my case, it was that darn "Feelin' Fruity" from MFT stamps, so I went with reds, oranges, and greens. I also picked up a few of the cool grays and browns to "fill out" the first order. The pinks, blues, and purples were later. (They're much more spring colors.)

Still addicted to coloring.... and LOVING it....

I only ordered from them once but it took over 2 weeks and came packaged in a MUCH larger box than was needed (via FedEx). It could have been sent in a flat rate box by snail mail...been cheaper and quicker to ship. I'm going back to Oozak to order Copics - they have really fast shipping and super customer service!
