Ssw&c dvd #2

[Don in Brooklin On]

I bought the 2 DVDs of the 24 issues of SSW&C

The article index for the second volume only contains issue 24. Issue 13 - 23 is missing.

Has any one else checked there DVDs.?

Publisher?? Can a copy be posted so that it could be down loaded.

Thanks

Mine is also, but its OK
The dvd's are great.

[J Michael]

Mine is the same way, Don.

I checked mine and it is OK, but I am still waiting for CD #1. Wonder why they did not send them together?
But it will get here soon. I have had the other for quite a while.

What format are the magazines in? I was looking at this on the website the other day, but it's not clear exactly what you get on the disc. Are these PDFs, or a proprietary viewer?

The files are standard PDF's. Each issue is a PDF on its own. The properties are set so that you can print or you can extract the images. (I use Nitro reader) so I can select a pattern and copy to another program to edit.

Reading PDF's on a small screen can be challenging but it is well worth it.

On volume 2 there are some extra patterns which is pretty cool.

I heard from Customer Service and they realize that the some DVD where created with out a complete index. They are going to send a new DVD.

Over all this is a great way to get the old issues.

I just wish we could get the pattern from the current issues as PDF's then you would not have to wrestle with the pull out.

I guess I should have bought the DVDs while I was at Fox Chapel. Would have saved a lot on shipping.

Hi fellow Canadian

I found that if I ordered both dvd 1 and 2 at the same time it was some enormous amount.

BUT

If you order as separate orders the cost is only $2.48 each. For a total of 27.33 each. US funds that converted to about 28.50 Cdn with no HST

I am in Canada. If I order no.1 for $34.95 shipping is $21.95 which is atrocious. Doesn't make sense. I missed out when I was there.

They have upped the price by 50% plus they don't give you the option of the First Class mail. I guess they had a Boxing day special on. I was going to order the next volume but I guess I'll be a non buyer until they have a special and figure out what is going on with the shipping and handling.

Here is a copy of my invoice

I've never heard of anything being shipping to Canada for that cheap. You were lucky

Ouch, I was looking to order these as well, but I won't pay that much for shipping to Canada. That's a lot of lost sales due to high shipping to Canada.

I don't understand why shipping for a little DVD should cost $22.
