NIGHTMARE GRAB BAG RELEASE: see how all our prep went wrong during our biggest sale! #DIML

Grab bags - we know them, we love them, we FINALLY thought we had them mastered. And then... THIS. What a nightmare. And with two thousand grab bags pre-packed, it couldn't have happened at a worse time. Come along as me and my team prep, release and ultimately stress over grab bags. On the plus side, it can only go up from here, right?

Before I opened my package, I was wondering why my grab bag came in those big boxes. I used the wrapping paper you had that came in the book/sheets for the first time and it came out so good! I wrapped headphones for my goddaughter 🤙🏻

Hey Elyse!!💕 I think you should just keep your grab bags live on your site. They'll sell!!!💕💗💖

[AnggiSahamCantik]

Sorry it happen to you. Thank you for sharing your mistake publicly and show real challenges on building a business.

[saled-kjnn]

Sorry to hear the sale didn't go smoothly, it happens to us all. You have a good attitude and are an inspiration.

[Lill-gi]

I would love to buy a grab bag!! I don’t keep up with socials in a way that makes sense to catch the release on time.

[ChantelleArts]

sorry to hear this, at least you know the same mistake won't happen again 🥰

[justme.]

Sorry about the issues but I'm sure what's learned will be really helpful for you and others in the future.

Just wanted to mention I like the vlog style of the video.

Maybe have a fall special grab bag sale in september?

[NeurospicyJenn]

I just want my stuff to sell. Sorry you had troubles!

[PeppermintYorkie]

I think you should post the sale again once you get the link working!

[r_P]

Yup! It happened to me! Im in Dominica Republic and we use a courier with a US address and then then that company delivers the package to us here in the Caribbean and I couldn’t access the website 😢

You and your staff be encouraged. So sorry for the serious extra work and income loss. This technology caused loss due to a third party update was exactly what happened several weeks ago globally. Worldwide flight cancellations and tons of retail /grocery stores closing for days. Losses due to nothing you did, gee who would understand that recently? Yup Taylor Swift surely would! Again you all take heart. Have an … ice cream cone and on you go…🕊️🕊️🕊️

How do you make products available early for specific customers? Is there a way on Shopify? Thank you so much!

[craftingexperiments-StellaT]

Hello, sorry for my ignorance but why do you have to take the product of the site? I mean, I just visited your site, I live in Greece, and it works just fine. Is there a time restriction? Thanx

Are the grab bags still for sale? I’m in Australia and the grab bag link was still there but it took me to page not found. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Im sure grab bags will always sell but if a few dont just dont unpack them. Time is money 😊 just leabe them as is until they sell through at full price or sale price

[PastelCreationsByKatrina]

Hi GQ? Do you loose money doing grab bags as that’s so many item seconds/defects?

[integrity]

I am so inspired by your journey. Do you offer mentorship?

[FiMilton]

Would posting another tik tok help get the word out to international customers? Or once you post once about it another one wouldn’t go as viral? (I have no idea how being an influencer on tik tok works) I’m so sorry they didn’t sell and I hope they will soon!

[WendyInMD]

Can you have a “redo” sale? Maybe knock another dollar off if you need to change it up a little? Sorry technology sucks sometimes. 🫤
