New Distress Colors?

[Suzanne]

I know I hear or read the answer to this some where but dang if I can remember where.

Are they going to put the new colors out in the mini size pads?

TIA!

[Laurene]

I read somewhere that once all 12 colors are released then they will do the minis.

[dini]

I think they're releasing the minis in packs as before, so after 4 new colors have been released we'll see a new 4-pack.

Yes, this is what Tim said in the CHA video when he introduced the plans for releasing the new colors.

thanks again. I continue to buy ones I already have~

[DianneB1030]

I had that problem too. Tim has a great app if you have a smart phone. It has all his products listed, and you can just check the ones you own. You can also check the ones you want on your wish list. I just pull out my phone when I'm at the store to check whether I already have a color.

I'm not sure if it is because I'm in Canada or not but I'm getting frustrated with the availability of the new colours. We've had three colours released now and I've only seen one LSS in my province that has had January's colour in stock. I could order from the USA but the shipping costs and with the Canadian dollar losing value, it becomes more expensive than waiting for my LSS to finally get it in. I want to stamp my feet like a 3-year old having a tantrum. I want my ink! LOL!

[DianneB1030]

They're slow coming in here in the US too. I just got the second color last week, and I've seen several posts by people who haven't gotten that one yet.

There is quite a delay on imported products at the moment, due to recent dock worker strikes. :(

[shazsilverwolf]

You should be in the UK, lol. Then you'd know what waiting for products to land is like, rofl! Everything takes forever to get over here.

[Suzanne]

I'm having troubles finding the new colors in stock.

[Scrapjanny]

IMHO, I think it kind of defeats the purpose of a "Color of the Month" if you can't get the products during the month they are released. It's so disappointing that I'm not even trying. I'll just wait until they're open stock to get the Distress Ink version of the colors I want.

I buy mine at Joann.com - they are around $2.99 when on sale - can't beat that price

Here is a list of suppliers in Canada. It should cost less to ship from Canada

Ranger Ink in Canada

They are coming very slow to the LSS. My local store receives them at least two weeks into the month.

I haven't seen the new ones on the Joann.com website as of yet.

Many of the stores on that list for my province are no longer in business. Believe it or not, shipping within Canada can often be more expensive than having a US store ship it to my province. I will continue to impatiently wait but will refrain from really stamping my feet LOL!
