I hate it when I place an order, then realize I forgot to order the one item I really needed! I just place an order with Rainbows and my main reason for the order was to get some 4mm Lt Grey Pearls. Naturally, I ordered a lot of other things... then forgot the pearls I need! :(
They already shipped it. I ordered 50 4mm pearls from jewelrysupply.com for less than $4 with $1.99 shipping. It's more than Rainbows, but if I added shipping and minimum ordering amounts, it turns out to be less. Everywhere else charged big shipping or required large orders.
A great place to order from is ArtBeads.com - they have FREE shipping with NO Minimum Order for the USA and they only charge $1.00 for Canadian shipping. I just ordered a few tiny copper findings to make a bracelet... the total was $2.49 and I got free shipping! Don't know how they do it... but God Bless 'em for doing it!
I will certainly second that statement......I order a lot from them. I have never gotten anything that wasn't to my liking and the dollar shipping is amazing!! Their return policy is great too because packets take anywhere from 7 to 15 days to get here and many sites only give you a few days to return an item.
I did have an amusing exchange of emails when I questioned one person on eBay for trying to charge $17.00!! to ship a few beads to Canada. She eventually (sheepishly) admitted that she got Australia and Canada mixed up. Hello.....are we blonde here?? (G)
Joking, OK?? Don't want all the natural blondes on this ng getting mad at me....grin.
