DITTO:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: I have ordered too ..and LOVED my little surprise and I LOVE LOVE my products... it's like that saying goes.. " you get what you paid for" and personally I don't mind paying a extra dollar or 2 if it means guaranteed delivery , good customer service and FAST shipping.....

Kathryn... you know alot of these posts are from NEW members... for some reason they don't have the same comaradie (SP) that the older members do...

Okay, I'll bite can someone please PM me who this person is that is doing this to Kathryn, so I know not to buy from the place she is recomending.

I like the Cranberry fields that Kathryn sells and am running out, so look for my new order Kathryn :D. I don't know Kathryn personally but I do know she seems REALLY sweet and caring, oh and my pkg from her arrived quick and NICELY packaged :thumbup: :thumbup: would recomend ANY day.

I understand that can make you feel really bad, but don't forget that there are YT members here that will always support you. I'll be ordering from you really soon, I was thinking on getting the shampoo, and after hearing about your great service, I don't mind paying a couple of bucks more

Hey you know what I know you are feeling bad but guess what. I just ordered:) And I bet alot of more do too. We Love you Kathryn.:bighug:

That's what I was thinking.

Granted someone doesn't have to make it their obligation to repeatedly attack one business and the prices (assuming that is what they are doing, I have no idea about the situation and who the person is), isn't that how businesses work? People generally buy from the cheaper place. If Walmart's groceries are cheaper than the local cornere store; I'm gonna buy from Walmart. It's business.. I wouldn't take it personal.

Yes but if the thread is started but Kathryn about a new item she has.. and someone comes in and knocks it down that is just not right!

Whoa, I believe the site that she recommends for custom clothing is a member here. No doubt she has a fine reputation.......I just found it odd that the item being discussed was not even listed on that site (that I saw), but was on two other sites being spoken about.

This is what I have a problem with, and it has happened continuously. A featured seller lists an item or is reviewed for an item sold, then there seems to be a trend of another non--YT site listed shortly thereafter. Before Admin put a stop to enlarged letters for non-visually impaired these were usually posted in large print vivid colors. I'm all for finding deals, but I find it very wrong to find them after a member of our community has listed them, and I truly feel this is not to help others, but to hurt a few for whatever reason. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.........
It's just not Kathryn.........

This is not directed towards you Candy, I just didn't want another seller being punished for something out of her control. :)

awww don't worry about it Kathryn. I ordered from you once and received my items right away and I loved it!!! I plan to order shampoo from you again. I LOVE the cranberry field shampoo :thumbup: Don't let people put you down, I think your business is great! :)

I'd like to know, too!



I've only ordered bows from you (not from your site), but I was VERY pleased with the service and with the product.

They came so quickly!!! Even all the way to Canada! Usually things take AT LEAST 2 weeks, but these came within a few days & were packaged up real tight in bubble wrap. The bows were excellent quality & IMO well-priced.

You didn't even charge me extra for shipping to Canada & said you'd pick up the difference! Like I said, GREAT service!

Like many, I'd rather pay a few extra bucks to support a fellow YT member than support a big company.

I'm really sorry this has happened to you and I hope everything starts looking up for you :)

To be honest we buy so much stuff for our furbabies that it is nice to have a place that is slightly less expensive. It's just business and a little competition. This is how businesses work, otherwise we wouldn't have target, or walmart, all of us would have to shop at the mall all of the time for the tiniest thing. I think this is between you and whomever you feel is attacking your business, so maybe contact admin about it instead of posting a thread so it doesn't add fuel to the fire. Whomever this person is may not be doing it on purpose and if they are, this sort of thing will certainly give them more satisfaction. I sure hope this thread wasn't started as a way to get YT members to feel guilty and order from your site :confused: YT members have good hearts and there are certainly many of them with online stores selling different things that we all support.

That is a ridiculous assumption.:mad:
I have see it time and time again and it is very clear that this person is just trying to knock Kathryn down.

I think that this is the greatest insult I have received to date here on YT. I would NEVER do such a thing.



Thank you everyone for the nice things said. This was NOT a pity post. If you read the title I was asking a question and many of you answered it. I will contact Admin about this now. I just needed to have something to go to him with. From reading some posts a few of you are aware of who is doing this and I don't "talk" with you all.. So please don't say that's the case...

What's happening is just not right, I always thought that we brought each other up in this community, not pushed each other down... If it means I NEVER get another order, I want to stop this person from harassing me and the couple of other small businesses that are currently being hurt.


I really don't think that anything more needs to be said....

Admin please close this thread.

Dear Kathryn,

I'm so sorry that you are going through this! We all know that you certainly didn't post this so that we would feel sorry for you and order from you! Your work is excellent and you care about your customers a great deal! I had a little bitty order and you put so much talent and effort into it. Please don't feel so bad.

Sending you hugs,

Hey K, sorry to hear you're going throught allot right now. We all have hard times and feel unwanted especially when people are rude and/or mean. I know you're such a great person and that you just want to give everybody the best. I have never ordered from you personally, but I know many love your products/services. When I'm on, I poke in the reviews section, and often see a :thumbup: for Beyond Spoiled. Hope things get better for you. Hugs to you girl! :ghug: We love you!! :2hearts2: You're doing a great job!! ;)

Wow. Just...wow.

WOW Im .....Speechless !:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

omg...thats not right for you to be judging her like that I think you should read all the facts before making that kind of a statement.

Can someone at least give me a hint into the direction or thread where this person is doing this :confused: YES, I'm nosey I want to know who is doing this to Kathryn :rolleyes: Why? just to know so I will have a heads up in the future about this certain somebody....

kathryn,

i have only bought from you once, but i got great service, and you were so accomodating!! i think you are a sweetheart, and i am sooo sorry you have to deal with this on top of all the stuff that goes on in life. your website is great! please dont let these people get you down, you are good at what you do, and you have tons of loyal customers!!

I sure hope this thread wasn't started as a way to get YT members to feel guilty and order from your site



WOW Im .....Speechless !:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:[/QUOTE]

wow is right.....i read this thread and never thought that was the point of it for a minute ...wow....

and Kathryn, I havnt ordered from you but I did enjoy your little videos of what you were selling a while back..you were so cute in them!! dont worry about what people say..keep doing what your doing and be proud if it.....you have alot here that order from you and love you, heck i do too and ive never even chatted with you...so go go go girly........
I have seen this kinda thing being typed in more threads than yours....and at the time i read them i thought it stank....Im glad you brought it to admins attention......
((((hugs)))))))

This is for anyone who hasn't ordered from Kathryn. I don't know her at all so this is completely unbiased. I have ordered from her several times now.

Her shipping is FAST. She is in CA and I live in IL and I get my stuff in 2-3 days. I have NO IDEA how she does it because the post office doesn't usually work that fast. She must go to the Post Office the second they open!

Her packaging is adorable. Everything is wrapped in tissue paper like a gift. She put Sammy's hair bows and clips in a jewelry box and then wrapped the box with tissue. And she always sticks something special in - a pen, a pixie stick, etc.

She responds to your emails and she helps you figure out what sizes you need.

Try getting ANY of that on ebay or anywhere else. Even if they have good customer service and ship your stuff out, everything I order just comes dumped in a box. I've even gotten things from very popular *discount* places that are all dusty and dirty and look like they rolled under the shelf in the warehouse and that's the one they decided to send me.

I don't mind if people point out deals, but sometimes I feel like some people on here resent the fact that some of us can buy at wholesale and they can't. If anything is marked up even 50% to cover the costs of running a business people will complain and run to some unknown seller on ebay. Yes, if you want to pay $25 for 50 hair bows from Pet Edge, then go ahead. But be aware that their minimum order is $60 or they charge you a $7 surcharge. Then their shipping isn't super cheap. So it's more like $40 for 50 bows, and then half of the bows you get will be crunched or falling off the barrette. Oh, and a whole bunch of them are probably not the color you want! Plus, WHO NEEDS 50 BOWS? So in the end, $2 a bow is completely reasonable!!! PetEdge is great for consumers who just got a puppy and need to stock up on hundreds of dollars worth of Kongs and other essentials like gates, crates, ex-pens and other pricey items. They are nice enough to let people order from them without a business license, so I hope you all appreciate that and stop coming back with posts saying "This is so overpriced they only paid 1.99 at Pet Edge and they are selling it for $4!!!" Because, yes, if you would like to buy a case of them, then you can also buy them for $1.99. And I'm fine with that. But please just understand that if you need to create a website, pay for packing materials, quit your job to stay home and run your business, etc. you NEED to charge $4. That guy charging $3 on ebay isn't sitting at home all day waiting to rush your package out the door. And I bet you anything HE padded the shipping.

I don't mean to rant, I just feel like I need to explain that.

:bravo: :bravo: :bravo: i couldn't have said that better myself!!! You hit the Nail on the head!!!!!

Ditto!! I've ordered twice, and when I participated in the gift exchange, I got some of the same wonderful products I got for myself from Kathryn for my GE buddy. The pixie sticks she has are the best price around and the perfect size for yorkies. I'm in CA too, so both times I ordered, I got my stuff the next day!! You can't beat that! She always answers her emails right away too.

Okay, I think I figured it out and all I can say is "WOW", if I found the right person it just looks like this person REALLY likes budgeting, *sp* and finding sales.. Kind of like my mom they are bargin hunters to the fullest ;) any penney they can save they will save it :rolleyes: .

Anyways, Kathryn keep up the good customer service and you should have nothing to worry about we all love ya...

Like THAT has never happened. I didn't say she was doing that, I just said I HOPE she wasn't because it wouldn't be the first time someone has posted a thread to get people to order stuff. There is nothing wrong with trying to find a bargain when we spend so much, and if this mystery person is really trying to know Kathryn down, then she should contact admin about it so something can be done about it. :)

Hi Kathryn,
I'm new here and I already feel like that!
I also make dog apparel for small breeds and understand what you are saying completely. When someone puts their ad up right after yours, it's like a slap in the face. Luckily though Kathryn, there is and always will be, people out there that want homemade. The people that want that extra tender, love and care,...that special touch. Not everyone ones MASS PRODUCED look alikes. If that's what they want, then let them have it. You'll always get the nicest most sincere people drawn to your business, not people looking to save a buck or two.

Like you, I also strive to get the 'best' quality materials but just can't possibly compete with apparel made by machine, (not regular sewing machines), places that hire slave labour or huge industries.
What I like the most about my business are my customers. They are personable, loyal, interesting, and descent people. I wouldn't want to be dealing with all the people trying to save their pennies, so cheer up and know that the right people are being drawn to your business and by the comments left by your customers, I wouldn't give that kind of love & support away for anything. You don't get that in big business!!!!
Nikki

Hey !! I'm one of those people who needs to watch what I spend ! :D :D

I fully support the YT Vendors that post here but will say this - we sure seem to have alot of people coming here strictly to sell and not interact with the site and those are the ones I skip over - NOT meaning anyone in this thread - it's ONLY AN OBSERVATION .....but there are sooooooo many people selling now I only see problems in the future. I think maybe YT heeds to re-do some rules for vendors....We have so many Members/venders that have been here a long time and put lots of work into their stores it just seems like a free for all now.

I'm not crazy about the NO Bump Rule but do wish we had a minimum post count or something...then maybe problems will be avoided.
