I used to belong to that group…and Krystine ups all the prices quite a bit…plush the buy fee. She is a joke and a rip off. I do not recommend that group. Just my opinion.

My only advice is to STAY away from Infinitely Sweet.

To the “legal department”….

Hogwash!

You can’t hide bad business behind some Yahoo TOS or Scripture Verses.

Good Morning -

My name is Krystine Vermeer and I am the owner of the Yahoo Group, Infinitely Sweet.

My response to this blog is this: I will happily read & hear any and all complaints or compliments, issues or concerns, or comments that you may have as long as they are not anonymous.

If you have something to say, good or bad, that is okay with me however, if you choose not to sign with your real name, I will choose not to address those comments. There is absolutely no reason to hide or not post your name.

What I also will not do is post things that are mean, hurtful, disrespectful, unkind or improper. I will not, in any way shape or form, try to hurt someone intentionally. The gifts that I was given and choose to live by are very simple: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Kindness & Self-Control.

So that being said, if you have anything that you would like to address with me, about me or about my group - please feel free to contact me directly. My direct email is: Krystine@thepurse-onalityshoppe.com

As for the scripture reference that “admin” was referring to- I posted this to my group last night:
Psalm 37
1 Don’t worry about the wicked
or envy those who do wrong.
2 For like grass, they soon fade away.
Like spring flowers, they soon wither.
3 Trust in the Lord and do good.
Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
4 Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you your heart’s desires.
5 Commit everything you do to the Lord.
Trust him, and he will help you.
6 He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn,
and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.
7 Be still in the presence of the Lord,
and wait patiently for him to act.
Don’t worry about evil people who prosper
or fret about their wicked schemes.
8 Stop being angry!
Turn from your rage!
Do not lose your temper—
it only leads to harm.
9 For the wicked will be destroyed,
but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land.
10 Soon the wicked will disappear.
Though you look for them, they will be gone.
11 The lowly will possess the land
and will live in peace and prosperity.
12 The wicked plot against the godly;
they snarl at them in defiance.
13 But the Lord just laughs,
for he sees their day of judgment coming.
14 The wicked draw their swords
and string their bows
to kill the poor and the oppressed,
to slaughter those who do right.
15 But their swords will stab their own hearts,
and their bows will be broken.
16 It is better to be godly and have little
than to be evil and rich.
17 For the strength of the wicked will be shattered,
but the Lord takes care of the godly.
18 Day by day the Lord takes care of the innocent,
and they will receive an inheritance that lasts forever.
19 They will not be disgraced in hard times;
even in famine they will have more than enough.
20 But the wicked will die.
The Lord’s enemies are like flowers in a field—
they will disappear like smoke.
21 The wicked borrow and never repay,
but the godly are generous givers.
22 Those the Lord blesses will possess the land,
but those he curses will die.
23 The Lord directs the steps of the godly.
He delights in every detail of their lives.
24 Though they stumble, they will never fall,
for the Lord holds them by the hand.

God’s Blessings -

I wasn’t going to comment on this pending my lawyer’s advice on things going on. (Yes, I do have a lawyer at my disposal) But, I can’t keep quiet. I am a mod on IS and I don’t appreciate our group being slammed like this. If you don’t want to participate in a buy or in a group, then leave.

To those of you who won’t sign your names and say who you are, keep hiding.

This is public slander and all it is doing is either stirring up trouble or like Anita said, causing both groups to get new members. Who knows the intent of those members, maybe they are nosey, curious, “spies” or they really want to be part of a group.

Everyone should go back to what they should have been doing along. Search for the best prices and value. Work on your own businesses instead of getting into other people’s business.

It isn’t public slander if there is truth to the allegations. If people have had problems with Infinitely Sweet then they are free to share them here and be anonymous!

There is nothing illegal about it.

I have always said.. the “guilty” always yell the loudest.

IS is a travesty. I cannot believe how they raise prices and tack on fees. Why are they not upfront with it if they have nothing to hide? You can quote scripture all you want, but when the time comes to meet your maker you will have some serious explaining to do! You preach about paying it forward yet you only care about yourself and those in your “special group.” You “don’t allow” your emails or posts to be copied but yet you copy others emails and posts. You continual say one thing and do another. We have a rather large difference between public slander and facts. I have proof of these facts. I am glad I left your group and will urge others to beware.

Thank you Julie Borgman!
I appreciate your comments. Now, show me where I personally have copied any emails? Where is that fact?

Why does an owner of a group have to justify their pricing to anyone? If you don’t like the prices, then don’t buy there and MOVE ON! Go ahead and meet the minimums yourself.
What a terrible waste of time and energy you have taken to defame and slander others.
You claim that the “guilty yell the loudest”. Well I would have to agree with you there, since the person yelling the loudest here, is the person who took the time to set up a blog just to badmouth others.

I wish you would give Infinitely Sweet the same consideration you gave OTC. People can buy where they want and the people who are complaining here can’t seem to post their real name. Prices are stated for all buys, including the package fee and all the info is clearly stated.

I disagree with the guilty yelling the loudest. We are only trying to protect our group’s name. Buying groups are popping up all over, many are buying the same products. It’s a free world and people should research before buying.

I suggest this issue be put to rest and everyone find ways to help each other market and make money. Or go after the companies that take your money and don’t send your products.

Thank you for the the suggestion.. but no.
I am not letting this one rest. If previous members want to voice complaints or concerns they are free to do so. I suggest you just deal with it and move on.

on the Group IS well I was on digest just lying low and watching the owner time after time over charge and the proof is the baby bottle koozie and bloomer buy well she overcharged just go check the prices at http://www.Wholesale-Linens.com that is where she ordered from and she so overcharged you guys. Oh and the mudpie buy she did well she failed to pass along the clearance price to the group the littl princess bear oopsie well it was on sale for $2.95 and she was selling them for 5.00 and all the items in the baby buy was overpriced. The flower oopsie was $3.95 she was selling them for $5.00 and this was on top of the coop fees and shipping. Now she preaches about not copying post form other groups well when I noticed i was no longer a member of IS I emailed her and asked why and she sent me a copy of a message I posted about her group in another group hmmmmmmm practice what you preach . Also before you ask I do have copies of all of this and will be happy to post it all just tell me how and where.

Ok I didn’t want to post this bc its from another group (group name removed by Krystine for this post) I am in and I want to see if you know which company sells them they are Velcro closers and I ordered some but man the people take forever to pay and I want to offer them to customers but need to be able to get them quicker”

(she paid) “5.25 a set” (on “the other” group)

“Hi Michelle -
Check the board and see if others are interested in them!
I can get the bottle wraps for the group for $5.00each set”

Which leads me to ask this……….if you found the company (“i Just found a place for the blanks”) and you knew the purchase direct price and company minimum – why did you pay $5.25 from the first group and then $5.00 from my group and not just buy from the company on your own?

Also an FYI -
“———- Forwarded message ———-”
Means someone forwarded to me for your reference. I did not take it from anywhere.

Thank you Michelle – God Bless you and your family!

I am a member of several yahoo groups. I also buy from several yahoo groups. I have found Infinitely Sweet/Krystine to be honest and true to her word. Krystine has been very patient with issues, kept us informed and extremely quick on delivery. In fact, all buys with her - have flowed so smoothly with quick shipping and no delays, that I enjoy the group.

Regarding the issue of higher prices. One thing that people need to understand is that pricing is a ‘calculation’, determined by the vendor, based upon quantity, delivery address of goods, and some vendors will lower prices for a ‘good/long time’ customers. I can’t speak for Krystine or how she figures her pricing. I can only say that if IS has a price of $5.25 for a product and another group has a price of $5.00 for the same item - I will buy from IS - because, I KNOW my items will arrive in good condition and will be processed as quickly as possible. There are 3 groups that I religiously purchase from - and Krystine’s group is one of them.

It is our choice, as far as what groups we belong to. I say - do your research - ask questions - and at the end of the day - if you don’t like the price.. then don’t purchase. Ok - ’nuff said…

From being involved in processing buys - I am very thankful for having the opportunity to purchase with the yahoo group buys, and due to the amount of time it takes to find vendors, list buys, answer questions, makes purchases, and then ship orders - I have not problem paying someone a few cents/dollars for their time. Because it allows “me” to grab better pricing, and not forced to purchase in high volume.

ok Krystine i didn’t find the company until after the buy started and didn’t need as many as the min order required. I never claimed you didn’t do it in a timely matter you did but the fact that you over charged many of those items by $$ and the over pricing on the mud pie buy what no answer there…….i had paid for my items before i found this info and that’s why i was in on the buy and yes i did give you the idea for the buy but you over priced. All i say is if your going to do this then state so upfront don’t hide it. oh and even if somebody forward it to you still were involved in breaking yahoo rules the one you preach about all the time. Well i am done here and will not post on this again. if you ladies like being lied to then its your money to trough away?

opps that was suppose to be through away
