Default Nordic Needle mini rant

Well, I've never ordered from Nordic Needle before, but my DS gave me $$$
for a belated b'day gift. And I had just gotten my fall catalog and it had
clip lamps on sale. And I ordered a Krenik silk kit and a Simply Old
Fashioned chart. Well, yesterday, I got my box and opened it after the boys
went to hockey. My clip lamp and Krenik kit was in it and a note that the
chart was discontinued.

Well if it was discontinued, why was it still on the website??? And why
didn't they notify me???? Grrr.


Well, there is an upside, I can still get it (at full price) from Simply Old
Fashioned and there is a new piece in the tree series.

Personally, I was not impressed by the quality of customer service
vis-a-vis the S&H cost. I just looked through my NN catalogue and then
fired off an e-mail to www.needledelights.com inquiring how much of the
shopping list she could get for me. The customer service is superb, the
S&H is much lower, and I get the stuff within a few days instead of weeks.

I'll see if my LNS can get Simply Old Fashioned first. Even factoring in the
S&H, I think I did ok! and I still have extra cash to spend now!
