Default AC Moore Stock

I get frustrated with A.C. Moore. They get in great products, get us addicted to them, and then take forever to get new stock in (or don't get new stock at all!). Case in point, a month or so ago (might have been earlier than that) they started carrying Nestabilities. I am personally responsible for their low stock at a couple of stores :P. The shelves are almost empty now, and when I asked an employee at one store when they were going to be getting more in, they said they didn't know, that everything is automatically ordered now. They also don't keep any stock in the back, either, anymore, so what they have is what they have. At another store, I was told that they would be getting more in, but most of the ones they got at first were discontinued (not by the manufacturer I am sure) so they don't know what they will be getting in.
It makes me want to scream! . I bought my very first Nestabilities there, and now I am addicted. I can get them for $15.89 with the 40 percent off coupon. I did break down and order some from ritzcamera because I HAD to have them and couldn't wait for AC Moore to get them back in.
The only other place that would have them near me would be Hobby Lobby, and the only one in PA is an hour or more away in Easton.
Woe is me...
On the other hand, I'm happy they're carrying so many new types of products, such as the Doodlebug flock, glitter, brads, etc. I think they have a much better selection than Michaels (although Michael's has a better selection of Slice cartridges).
I don't really have a point. Just wanted to complain .

Default Empty at AC Moore

ACMoore is in a shopping center that is out of my normal travel path but last week I made the trek and was truly disappointed. The shelves were not well stocked and the paper was the same tired selections. No nesties at this store. I bought my Slice there but they seemed to have stopping carrying that too. I think the economy is taking its toll.

Hi Michele,
I think I heard the new collegeville shopping center is getting a Michael's (or was that wishful thinking?) Not that I am all that crazy about the big chain craft stores, mostly for the reasons you stated and no one there knows what they are talking about. Maybe a new Mike's will be better stocked (?)

My AC Moore (Wilmington, DE) had a whole new display of Nestabilities about 3 weeks ago, but I think they may have been surprised by the eager shoppers--they vanished in about a week. They restocked this week, though, and I have bought a couple of sets since Sunday --with 50% off coupons!!! I'm sure your store will restock as soon as they come in. Sometimes stores just can't anticipate the enthusiasm for a product. Even with occasional lapses, our AC Moore is much better than our Michael's--and you can't beat that $10 off certificate every time you spend $200.

I have 2 AC Moore's within 10 minutes of me and they do not have them at all, of course the store 40 minutes away does. I really hope they are in stock when I make it out there next week, I just $65 gift cards, I was hoping to get a few sets. I really wish the stores could stock the same product across the board, I understand why they don't, I just wish they would. lol

I went to my closest AC Moore just the other day so I could get some Nesties and they didn't have any and as usual, the employees I asked had no idea what they were and even went so far as to tell me, 70% of what is on our web never gets to our stores". Nice!

I did find a MS Drippy Goo punch I was looking for! Very happy!

You've got me curious! I stopped going to the AC Moore that's about 25 minutes from me, because they never seemed to have anything worthwhile and the store was always tired looking. I still get their coupons via e-mail, so now I'll have to make the trip to see if they have them. I'd love to be able to get them for a decent price. The price that's listed on their website for individual sets is actually higher than full retail!

I've stopped going to AC Moore's locally - poor stock and always MESSy!!!....

I found Nesties online at http://www.stampingscrapping.com/ - they are always discounted 30-40% off. Yes you pay for shipping but it saves on the gas and travel time...And the owner, Cindy is a doll! Super Fast shipping! She has a good variety...maybe a little light now....but worth checking out again - weekly - I know that I got a BUNCH of them here and would have gotten more had I known about her first! : ) Actually, you can contact her directly and request them - I believe that she would order them for you.

Or use the 40% off VIP coupon at Cut at Home...online - it saves gas and travel time...
