That one is sadge. And also people scalping Raspberry Rally, c'mon now!

Lunar wrote:

No kidding on both. Do you know if the raspberry will restock? I need that one to get to 5 since my Tagalongs won't ship…

Sadly I don't know if they will. I've never seen it in stock personally.

What shipping service?

The FAQ just says major shipping services. But if its USPS I can't order. They don't deliver to me.

If USPS doesn’t deliver to your house, then you should be eligible for a free PO Box. Also ask said PO if they accept UPS/FedEx for box holders; most do, in my experience. Then you can ship to the physical PO address, and put 'Box X' on the second line. It won't matter who it goes through then.

Hmm, good question. I don't know. But I should be finding out soon, I personally ordered some boxes and they should be shipped soon.

I'll ping you once I find out, hopefully before the shipping promo ends.

Sweet-- just ordered 11 (I have problems....)

Good luck to your girls!

My order was just shipped and it's UPS. Though the tracking isn't the usual 1Zxxxxxxxx number, I think they use UPS SurePost, which uses the USPS to deliver.

Thanks for letting me know

Thanks for the support guys!

There's still 3 more days for the free shipping promo, 5 or more boxes gets free shipping.

I was in the FAQ section:

"What if I'm not satisfied with my Girl Scout cookies?"

If for any reason you aren't satisfied with a package of gurl scout cookies, contact the baker. The baker contact info is on the side of each package.

"Contact the baker"

Why not?

Last day tomorrow guys, get in a last minute order!

Thanks as always for your support.

Bought 5!

Ok, I wasn't going to get any (because I'm fat), but it said that she was at 298 out of 300 with just 2 packages left to go -- so I went ahead and ordered the 5!

And then I went back and looked again and it still says 298 out of 300 with 2 packages left to go! I feel like I've been duped!

How has no one posted the patch we earned yet!??

😂

Don't worry, it just takes a bit to update

Thank you everyone who ordered, you guys helped out a ton!

We've actually reached our goal of 300 boxes which is amazing!

If anyone still want to make an order, today is the last day for free shipping on 5 or more boxes.

Never had girl scout cookies. Haven't seen them going door to door in the neighborhood either.

I'm starting to hear back from some friends and family that they received their cookies. Hopefully, everyone who ordered on here will get it soon.

I got a shipped notification yesterday.

Got our first batch in, these might be my fav. I don't think I've ever had these.

Do they taste as good as they look?

Yep

Enough said.

Have you had the Samoas? Those look pretty great too.

I think those were just introduced last year. I've never had them either -- but ordered two boxes this time around.

Those Raspberry ones are new this year, I guess, and sold out right away...

Samoas is the first box we opened. My wife swears by them but they're pretty meh for me. Especially compared to Adventurefuls

Samoas and Tagalongs are my favorites. (Well, we call Tagalongs "Peanut Butter Patties" in my neck of the woods...)

We'll see if that changes when we get the Adventurefuls.

Got the cookies. Ate the cookies. Thanks.

Toffeetastic is fantastic.

Thin mints are 🤢

Got mine today! Haven't opened even the big box just to keep me out of the smaller ones inside!

I just had like half a bag of Toffeetastic 😬🥰

Free shipping is back for...not sure how long but get some last minute orders in guys!

Placed an order.

Lunar wrote:

Did they change the thin mints or something?

Just placed an order. I haven't had their cookies in years. Like almost a decade. And I remember them being really good. So hopefully they still are. Too bad a few of them are sold out and not available.

Thanks for the support guys!

I sent an email to everyone who ordered as a reminder for free shipping. It ends 5/14.

Archer wrote:

I don't think so. I think I just never liked toothpasty taste of thin mints. People swear by freezing them and eating them like that.

My favorite is still Do-si-dos.

I wanted to order but we’ve been mega tight on money. Hope the daughters met their goal! I miss lemon ups.

Man, Raspberry Rally boxes are the COVID 3090s of the cookie world. I really want to try them, but they're sold out everywhere.

Holy Shrinkflation!

These just arrived. And like I said before, its been around a decade (possibly longer) since I've bought their cookies. But what the hell. The amount you get now vs what it used to be (for the same price). Wow. These boxes are half the size, and its less than half of what used to be in the old boxes (amount of cookies). Its mostly packaging. This is crazy. Why not just increase the price? What are they doing? I'd rather have paid $10 or $12 (maybe $15 to support them) for the old boxes of cookies than this. I'll probably never support them again now. Because this feels like a rip off. And that is a shame. Because it isn't the scouts fault. Its the fault of the corporate choices made above them. This must be why I never see them going door to door anymore? I haven't even seen them selling in front of stores anymore in years either.

Could be worse -- could be Boy Scout popcorn!

Yeah, you're probably right. Even though I say I would be happier paying more for the old amount. I'd probably be more upset paying $20 for a box a cookies. And I guess people are still more likely to support them by buying multiple boxes this way (more than 4 at a time). Where as if they were $20 a box people would buy one and that would be that for them. This way they can still raise more money for the scouts. As a lot of people think $5 a box, I'll take 8 or 10 or what ever. But $20 for one makes you think about it more. Even though these are technically donations, you are getting something in return. So it feels more like a purchase than a donation. And I guess I shouldn't even look at it like that. Because really its to help the girl scouts.

Indeed.

They have been increasing prices too -- just not so dramatic as the box size or quantity going down. Like, I guess they were $1.50/box in the 80s and then jumped to $3/box in the late 1990s. Then to $3.50 in 2004, $4 in 2012, $5 in 2015 -- and now they are $5-$6/box.

So, looking at it that way, they are like 4x more than they were in the 80s. 🤷‍♂️
