“Best source for retired Sizzix dies!”

Joy B.
7/4/23

I finally got a Sizzix Big Shot machine and began searching for Bigz dies, so my grandkids and I could turn cardboard and junk mail into fun designs. I found quite a few on Ebay and Etsy but then discovered Craft Direct, where brand-new dies are available for less-than-secondhand prices! I will definitely be shopping with them in the future. My order was professionally packaged and the dies are indeed brand-new, unopened and in perfect condition.

“Poor packaging -- unresponsive customer service”

Sarah B.
2/24/23

UPDATE: After writing the review below, I tried another tactic and reached out to the company on FB Messenger. After 4 days, I actually received a response. After asking for photos of the wrinkled cardstock, they did resend the damaged items in a rigid mailer. I still would not have confidence in them going forward, but at least they did the right thing in this instance. Ordered a pack of cardstock and some embellishment packs. They sent it in a soft sided envelope with no protection for the cardstock so it is wrinkled. I have tried emailing and calling -- no response at all! It says the following on their website: "We are committed to providing each customer with the highest standard of service. We make it our goal to put a smile on each of our customers' faces." NOT TRUE IN MY EXPERIENCE! I am certainly not smiling about the money wasted on wrinkled cardstock.

Thank you so much Craft Direct! I received my order yesterday afternoon... great timing I must say. I do think that your shipping rates are a bit high but I was VERY IMPRESSED with your little "surprise" that was include in my
Package. Thank you so much! It seems as if I am going to reorder one of my orders... Unfortunately, I messed my album up... BIGTIME! Thank you once again!

The only thing that could be improved would be if search was more precise. When entering "embossing powder" I was taken to 25 pages of embossing products. "No matches" would be more efficient.

I'm excited to receive my products I ordered, but the one spray paint cap was broken and paint had been spraying inside the cap. Maybe put the products in a box instead of an envelope.

The site shows free shipping on orders over $49.00, but there is no option to select the free shipping, so you have to choose a shipping method. Lowest shipping is $7.44. CS stated shipping would be credited back.

I enjoy the variety of items CraftDirect provides. They often have items that I am looking to add to my long term collection, that cannot be found in stores. I use them for all my cartridges.

You have a great variety. I could not find how to look at my "cart" unless I added an item.

Not sure which order you are confirming. One came but it was wrong merchandise so I am in the process of exchanging. The other order came promptly and no problems. Website okay. Don't really remember whether ordering was easy or what. Response from Customer Service very good in regards to the exchange. Very responsive to emails.

Some problems checking out. I had to set up another account since you did not recognize my password. I checked out through PayPal as I always do.

Great to find items I was looking for at good prices and FREE Shipping offer at a very reasonable low thresh hold to qualify. Overall, your site was easy to navigate. Disappointed, though, with items I wanted that were Out of Stock.

The order was complete in fulfillment, but some of the items were filthy and those that came in plastic-like containers (washi tape) were bent/crushed out of shape...possibly during shipment in the padded envelope they were shipped in rather than a box. Hence, the downgrade 5* to 4*. Overall, I am still pleased with my order, prices paid and the free shipping option at a low threshold to meet.

Was concerned when tracking my order I wasn't getting any updates. Website said in process the whole time including after it arrived on my front door.
Was going to cancel my order was afraid it wasn't going to get here in time.
But everything worked out!
Thank You.
Happy Holiday

I couldn't view the images on a cricuit cartridge, the screen would freeze every time I tried. Had I been able to view the images, I might have brought that cartridge. (Outdoor Man0

I appreciate free shipping & no tax!!! This is why I chose your site to order from. A little more info on the easy press would have been helpful. Others show a resting tray the press sits in. I'm Really hoping this is the same thing. I hope it ships quickly :) Thank You!

The shipping was way to much. If I didn't want these items so much I wouldn't pay that much for shipping. That was not right to pay that large of an amount!!!!!

love your site, however, would be nice to "continue shopping" on the last page I was viewing rather than start search again

I like the shopping experience, but shipping is too expensive for what was ordered; less than a pound package. Also none of the coupons I tried to use didn't work. Very disappointing.

Easy to look up items by item numbers, but no so easy to search for items by name, eg., score boards, did return any score boards.

It was not so bad. It gave me problems, telling me I could not order the item then in a minute that I could, so it took some extra time.

Everything was great. The only thing I didn't like is that I wanted to be able to look at just thinlets but had to look at all go through everything to see what you had.

Cheap price, fast order, but no estimate on shipping time. Free could mean months, it could mean 2 days..

I was happy to find what I wanted at better prices, until I was hit with a whopping $14 postage charge! And that was the least i get, unless I more than doubled my order to get the "free shipping on orders over $99. What a rip-off.

I was told over the phone I could have and option with my free shipping either ups or usps. It just gave me the option for free shipping since my order was over $99.00 but it did not let me choose ups as my shipping method,

The discount call that I received did not work and the discount codes online did not work would buy more if I had a better discount.
