Just a quick FYI for those that have purchased items from Colonial Acres over the years. They are switching web platforms at the start of June, and any VIP points that you may have accumulated over the years WILL NOT be transferred over. They are advising you to use them now, or loose them.
Go to their web site https://www.colonialacres.com/article-a/344.htm and read the blurb for yourself.
I didn't realize I had 5200 VIP points accumulated, so I put in a quick order and saved $157.
Act quick ... "You Snooze You Loose"!

When I checked mine, you needed 1000 points to cash it in. I'm no where close enough to even the 500 limit.

Minimum is 500 points to cash in. I had 869 points and cashed them all for $27 off my order. But there is $12 shipping charge, so savings not that great.

At least you get a bit of a break on the order. CA will probably catch heck when they switch over and un-informed clients realize their points are gone, or didn't even realize they had points to spend.
I've been buying from CA for 10+ years and didn't realize I had all these points to spend until I checked their blurb about the switchover. At least my patronage got me an almost free order.

I put an effort to find this thread, just share some small observation:
The "new" Colonial Acres website, the feel and look of it remains same not good as it was.
In my opinion / experience, it worse than archaic GW site.
Main problem with CA:
Lack of clear navigation, too complex product tree, sale banners that not filtering the items on sale and presenting full catalogue of related and not related items.

They have now Ultimate Sale, no to go through all on sale items, not very possible. Unless I am missing something.
