TBH when ordering the curriculum I bought all e-books because I am impatient, and aside from having to wait 3 days for them to email them that part was harmless. The files they sent for some reason did not print correctly so I called the company and they refunded all my printing costs the same day. Then they shipped me hard copies of every book that I had a problem with and sent 4 copies of each because I have triplet forth graders and a sixth grader at no extra cost AND overnight. Then they went even farther as to send me new links that were not password protected so that I could easily get into the curriculum since I had such a problem with the first files. I was a little annoyed at the problem but overwhelmingly happy with the solution. So although, yes, they have a few grammar errors that I have found, and yes, it is a bit expensive, I am happy. I will admit that I only purchased the Sea and Sky package,and the 4th and 6th grade language arts curriculum. All the extra books were easily found on Amazon for a cheaper price, as an audio book on Audible, or at a library for free. I am happy I purchased this curriculum. The curriculum was around $500 and the extras added up to another $100 or so. It was not the cheapest option, but, it was the best option for a mom who still works full time and needed an organized solution to getting everything done. The kids love the curriculum and I plan on using it again next year. I am glad that I saw this after I purchased my books because my experience was totally different.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937235800872850976.post-44377190465216086042016-02-22T20:15:54.651-05:002016-02-22T20:15:54.651-05:00I have been hearing about all of these negative ex...I have been hearing about all of these negative experiences families have had with the Winter Promise curriculum, customer service and shipping. I sort of feel bad because all of my experiences with the company have been positive. We have used all of their younger aged packages through Adventures in Sea & Sky since 2008, (plan to order Quest for the Middle Ages) and have not had any of the issues stated. Have only had to wait up to two weeks for delivery on all packages except one or two books that only took another week or two, and have not noticed more than a couple of errors in any of the books or guides....which is normal for any curriculum company. Also the customer service we have received has been exceptional. As for the ebooks and shipping charge. The charge that shows will not be there at the end of the transaction....you will not actually be charged the shipping for an all ebooks order. It is just the way their website is set up and they know about it, but it's the way it is because of who they have working on their website. Any way, not trying to under mind the negative statements about Winterpromise. Just want to give another experience/opinion. And, I have not exclusively used WP. We have used Sonlight, MFW, HOD, SCM, LBC and lots of other Curriculum over the years. We just keep going back to WP because it seems to be a good combination and works well with all the different learning styles of our children.

We can afford it, but I like to read reviews before I buy something so pricey! I'm so glad I found this review!
