I called Tiny Details yesterday about the two kits I sent in. Dixie told me they were evaluated yesterday morning, but that my account did not show if they were accepted or not. She said I will either get a check or my kits back shortly (or one check and one kit back).
I will be very surprised if I get my 1950s Girl Calendar kit back. They were all perfect, in my opinion. The Washingtons looked great, but could someone find a little flaw here and there? Probably.
Anyway, my point was not that it's all sunshine and roses working with Tiny Details, but simply that I don't think they are a "scam". People are quick to come up with that when their samples don't get approved, or their kits get sent back to be corrected. But I am confident that they pay when good, quality work is submitted that meets their standards.
So far, I have not run into the issue of running out of supplies due to practicing. I have ordered replacement supplies that equal the amount of supplies in the original kit (in other words, and entire new kit, just without the knife & glue) and have always received them (although it takes a couple of weeks to get them, sigh). When I needed more than that, they charged me around $13.00 (can't remember the exact amount, but I put it in a previous post) to have another whole replacement kit sent.
But, I'm sure we all have different experiences, as they do seem to be hit & miss quite a bit with consistency.
