Twines & Paper B6 Weekbook | Weekly Hybrid 2025 | Unboxing and Honest Review

[@SamisSweetLife]

I really appreciate your perspective and warnings for others. The Twines & Paper customer service was non-existent for me and included a warning in my video about them too. It's unfortunate because their planners are pretty. Too bad their customer service sucks. Because of the CS issue, there are sooo many other way more deserving planner small businesses out there that I would rather support in the future. I've always had amazing customer service from any other planner company I have purchased from (and I have purchased from a lot of them he he).

Thank you, I thought it was just me. I placed an order in August and it hasn’t been fulfilled and I can’t get an update. I’ve tried reaching out via email, contact us on website, on IG and I can’t seem to get a hold of anyone. I’ve been so patient but I just don’t know what to do. I want to support and give space and grace to small business owners but I just want to be able to communicate with someone. I’m at least happy to know I’m not crazy or just me.

[@SamisSweetLife]

@@laurasmalley2774 Totally not just you! I have been getting quite a few comments on my Twines & Paper video talking about their lack of CS and lack of shipping in a timely manner. I really hope you get your planners soon.

[@tiffanykorb6704]

@@SamisSweetLifeI’m in the same boat too. On September 27 it looked like the shipping label was created and then the package never sent. I emailed, DM on IG, sent a message on the website and nothing. I wonder if it’s ever going to show up or if it was ever shipped but no one will answer me.

I know on her Facebook page I found out she just had a baby but I think she should be more transparent about things rather than expecting her customers to go find info themselves

[@BoogFun]

Loved your honest review. Everything was well said, and got the gist across without bashing the companies. I have also had a wonderful experience with Wonderland 222.

[@NicolePlansThings]

That positive feedback means a lot, thank you!!

Fantastic flip through and comparison. Cant wait to get mine but have my hopes dialed in to get it by christmas. I bought her planner for the unique features ...her brain must work exactly like mine! It'll be worth the wait. Thanks for sharing your experience ❤

[@NicolePlansThings]

Thanks for watching and the kind words! The timeline is definitely cutting it close for Christmas based on the current shipping speed, but my fingers are crossed for you!! It would be nice (and fun) to have it to set up over the holidays.

[@annettefertitta6868]

Mine came today, Halloween

[@annettefertitta6868]

The green is gorgeous out of the package, of course the Honey is beautiful as well. I jot down birthdays, etc in the yearly at a glance. It looks like there is plenty of room to journal. I love the way it is grouped. Received mine on Halloween

[@NicolePlansThings]

@annettefertitta6868 Thanks, birthdays is a good idea for that page! Yes, both colors are BEAUTIFUL. And yay for Halloween happy mail!

[@AuntieAlexandra]

Great review. My initial excitement over this planner is very tempered by the extraordinarily bad customer service I’ve had from Twines and Paper this year. I don’t think I’ll feel like using the planner once (and if) I finally receive it, because of how poor my experience has been.

[@NicolePlansThings]

Thanks so much! I was also heavily torn. I am deciding to give it a chance since it is a beautiful planner and I already have it in hand. I appreicate the shared sentiment, and hope your order arrives with no issues!

[@daniperkins8227]

TBH I’m just glad to know somebody actually received one. It exists! I can wait a little longer I guess.

[@NicolePlansThings]

Haha, it does indeed exist. Hope yours gets to you soon!

[@pamelasmith7120]

I went to a Papertess designs planner because of the reviews on the lack of CS..

[@Vigal22]

Sadly I am in the same boat. Preordered in August and still haven’t received. The customer service and unprofessionalism displayed in Facebook has completely tainted the planner for me. I might not use it… if I get it.

[@Jeanniehud]

Wonderful and very understanding review of beautiful new planner and customer service.💕

[@NicolePlansThings]

Thank you so much!! :)

[@laurasmalley2774]

Thank you for sharing! This video is so helpful. I’m so happy you are on KZbin! I can’t wait to see how you use this. I have never planned in a bound book. I’m like you I need the structure in place for me, too much blank space only makes me anxious and will stay blank lol 😂

[@withcuratedjoy]

Great review Nicole. I am actually excited for this and will be ordering the A5 size .. best way to test both layouts

[@NicolePlansThings]

Thanks!! After I received the B6, I was thinking the A5 size would be awesome.. However, I ultimately did not want to wait until after the holidays to set it up. I'm impatient lol

[@LeoGirl80]

I like the months and weeks grouped as well. I find that I’m more likely to use the monthly pages if the weeks are right there. I too hate flipping a ton of pages. I love that planner brands are going back to that format.

[@NicolePlansThings]

100% agree, that is definitely my preference! There is a planner out there for everybody!

[@mrskellymontes]

The comparison was amazing 🤩 i ordered the twines & paper b6 cant wait to get it. I’ve eyed all the ones you’ve compared to it! Thank you ❤

[@NicolePlansThings]

Thanks for watching! Haha, we love our B6 planners, don't we!

[@googleuser7999]

Hi did you end of de stashing any of them?

[@annettefertitta6868]

I am so very pleased with my planner and love the grouping. Maybe I can actually keep up with daily’s/journaling! Great review. I also love to shop with small companies- I don’t know their setup but some of these companies are run by only one or two people… so I try to be patient. I feel the finished product was well worth the wait! 😍

[@NicolePlansThings]

@@annettefertitta6868 totally agree 😊

[@reneel2502]

I am very excited to see you set up and use the hybrid planner. I ordered an A5 and I have to admit I'm nervous about if it will arrive.

[@NicolePlansThings]

Thanks for watching! I was tempted by the A5, but I am assuming it'll be a while since shipment is still in transport..

[@elizajournals]

Awww just subbed. Didn’t know you had a channel ❤❤

[@NicolePlansThings]

Yay, thanks for the support!!

[@KelliDavis-e8n]

Thanks for this review. Where did you get the tabs that are on the Papertess?

[@NicolePlansThings]

It's from PlannerMonkeyCo! They are cute and hold up well.

[@Vigal22]

Ordered my planner in August and have not received it yet. Don’t anticipate receiving it until 2025. I don’t recommend ordering the 2025 now as you likely won’t get it soon. Order 2026 at your own risk.

[@UmmUmarHamzah]

Same here! So frustrating

[@AngieNebinger]

I love the layout of this 8.5 outta 10 for my personal check box in a planner (still waiting for someone to create my 10/10 lol). I wasn't put off by the longer shipping at all small business and pregnant and it still arrived in October 2 months before I'd even need to use it.. etc.. my only bummer about it is the paper in mine bleeds with my tried and true tomoe river paper pens :( so sad.. because layout wise I'd have used this one for sure this year it's a little different and nearly perfect for my needs.

[@NicolePlansThings]

@AngieNebinger aww I'm sorry to hear about the paper! Hope you've found your alternative. I do agree, it's a great layout, but we will forever be looking for our 10/10 😁

[@cnsva4]

I ordered a B6 and don’t think it will ever show up. Never ordering from her again. I sent an email and of course got ignored.

[@lac1776-qd5bd]

I ordered the A5 hybrid because the dual layout is exactly what I need for work and home. According to her posts it should arrive at the end of November. I think some of the communication issues you guys are having is because she is literally a one women operation, just starting out to a certain extent. She doesn't have the staff that the other planner companies have. Since she is just starting out and she did say when the planners would get to certain areas both when the planner video was released and on the preorder page(October for the B6 hybrids and late November for A5s).I don't understand why everyone is so impatient and bashing her company. even if you preordered in July or August she only has one batch of those planners and she said it would be in October when they were shipped. You can't compare a one person operation like hers to Sterling Ink that has a large staff or Paper Tess or Wonderland222 they have been in business for a lot longer have a KZbin following, regular subscriptions orders and the funding and staff for additional people. I do understand about the frustration of not hearing from customer service or not getting responses when co taking her, but frustration on the timing of deliveries when she said when they would go out no.

Your nail color is gorgeous. Can you share the brand and color?

[@NicolePlansThings]

Thank you! Unfortunately I have no idea - I had it done at a salon. I requested black chrome dip powder. I'll check with the nail tech when I'm back next month for my Thanksgiving nails lol!

[@carolworkman5912]

Loving the MOSS colored one - thank you for sharing the video. How long did the shipping take?

[@NicolePlansThings]

Right! I can't decide between colors. Maybe choosing a leather cover will help.. It took about 2 week to get in once marked as shipped!

[@maeannlee9596]

Are you selling the green weekbook hybrid? If you are, I am interested please. Thank you.

[@NicolePlansThings]

[@tiffanykorb6704]

So upset about customer service. I have sent so many emails. My shipping said a label was printed September 27 and then it was never sent. No answer to any of my emails and no product.

[@AuntieAlexandra]

I’ve had a shipping label printed for my 2024 (not the 2025!) planner 3 months ago, and I did finally get a reply to an email about a week ago asking if I wanted to cancel, that there had been some kind of mixup. Still nothing actually shipped, tho.

[@paulinafernandez5191]

What shipping option did you choose?

[@NicolePlansThings]

I did the standard DHL (cheapest option)

[@maerwynnh]

I think her pregnancy must have been more disruptive than she expected. I am in the not so patient category. I am also trying not to buy everything this year (I had 5 planners I tried to use for 2024.) The layout for this one is 👍. Thank you for the review!

[@AuntieAlexandra]

I’ve seen multiple people in different groups who have had issues with their customer service going back more than 9 months ago, so definitely not just a pregnancy issue, sadly.

[@MoniM_]

Oh this happened to me way before her pregnancy . She gets straight up angry at you if you ask where your shipment is

[@MoniM_]

@@AuntieAlexandrayep me

[@AuntieAlexandra]

@@MoniM_ I’m sorry this happened to so many other people, but I’m happy it wasn’t just me!

[@kailahmom1]

The planner community has become overly saturated with all these planners that are pretty much the same. I’m starting to get bored with them all.

[@AuntieAlexandra]

The reason I’m so extra annoyed by how crappy their customer service is, that this planner really is different than any other. The fact that there’s a two page horizontal week spread followed by a vertical week spread every week is so cool, no one else has anything really quite like it.
