I was in that yahoo group mentioned above. It's probably great as long as you aren't in a hurry. I placed an order and sent emails asking about it at around 4 weeks and 6 weeks. I never did the get order (didn't pay either). After it happened a few more times I gave up and left the group. I don't need any more dies anyway.
After shipping the cost was not any better than a sale w/ free shipping from sizzix.com.
