Really?
August 26, 2017

So I already have places that I purchase from, but I'm looking for a good, cheap, Jewelry making supplies vendor and after cruising the internet I stumbled on PandaHall - I'm finding the prices amazeballs! I decided to come here before I went through any exhausting and pain staking time to figure out exactly what I want and quantities. (I'm not a rookie shopper! Lol) Now I'm curious - the 4 and 5 star ratings make this company seem fabulous! While the other reviews make me want to run away like it's on fire. So which is it? I'm wondering if these glorious reviews are real. I doubt that the horrible reviews are fake, because when you've been ripped off - the kind thing to do is to warn others. I think I'll stay away for now, unless someone can drastically change my mind. Cheers to this website! It has saved me from making big mistakes on several occasions.

I find the shipping very slow, but then again I place huge orders. I've been buying my supplies from them for a long time now, and the prices of many of their items are very low which is great but you really get what you pay for. I buy very inexpensive things from them and they often break. Other than that, I really like the website because of the huge variety and inexpensive items. If you need items and are in a rush, order a month in advance to make sure you get your supplies on time. And keep in mind that the cost of the item really reflects on it's overall quality.

Cool products
October 24, 2014

Cool products. Nice customer service. I did notice that a lot of the reviews are from a few months back. Well a lot has changed and I am definitely glad I gave this beads shop a go. I love crafting like most beaders and making bracelets I just needed to be able to do it on a budget. I get the beads for cheap and make beautiful bracelets and sell them to friends and family. I do wish there was more to choose from though. 4 stars for sure.

To be honest, nothing negative happend for my order. I ordered from Pandahall after I visited seven different places searching for a necklace because their service and pricing were second to none. So once I got my package today, my necklace was very secure within it! And so elegance. I'm so excited! Will use this site again for my next order.

For the most part, I like Panda Hall. However, I have rarely found chain that I have ordered to be in stock. The day the order is due to ship, I get an email asking that I choose a replacement, which delays the order by a week. When it comes to their chain inventory, it is a bait and switch deal.

I'm used to mangano calcite beads being uv reactive. These were not. In photo, mangano calcite beads at left were mine from another vendor. The ones on the right are the ones from PanadaHall, and only glow as white would under black light. They should be dark coral.
I contacted customer service and shared my concerns. They basically gave me the runaround, asking for proof, which I provided, and then asked again. They just insisted that they are pink mangano calcite beads. It IS possible that they are calcite, but of such low quality that they don't glow. Either way, they weren't a good product, they didn't refund my money and didn't care.

Update Panda Hall
April 2, 2014

I am updating my previous review of a couple of years back. Customer service seem a bit easier to deal with now regarding faulty products and I feel that they do handle complaints in a more professional manner than before. But processing/packing times are STILL usually much longer than they claim on the website (or in their replies here). I also notice when I compare prices to last years orders that prices have increased drastically for a lot of items (some as much as 40-60% more expensive in just a year). So even when they offer a 'Sale' or 'Free shipping' you are still paying a lot more in total than you would have a year or so ago.
For that reason it is important to demand quality and complain if products are not perfect. Some of the factories they use produce very good quality products, while some factories allow broken or poor quality products leave the factory and be shipped to customers. I have received facetted glass beads where half the beads on each strand were broken or chipped. I paid $16 for 5 strands (+shipping +import taxes). So not in any way 'cheap'. Panda Hall claim they were damaged in transit, but if that is true then the broken/chipped pieces would be in the bag with the beads. Quite simply some factories are knowingly threading faulty beads on the strands and selling them. So quality control needs to be improved greatly - and random checks are needed on what certain factories are producing. Perhaps now that prices have gone up so much they can use these profits for this purpose.

Thanks for your feedback about Pandahall, we really appreciate customers' feedback which helps us discover our weakness and step forward. And we are sorry for your bad impression on Pandahall. There may be misundertanding with our cummunications, hereby we would like to explain some points:

Regarding the processing time, it normally takes us 7-10 days to prepare and 1-2 days to pack the order. Since there are a huge numbes of products on our site, it is difficult for us to keep all the posted items in stock. For the out of stock items, most can be restocked within 7-10 days, and a small part may need more than 10 days to order from the factory. For orders which can not be prepared within the promised lead time, we offer three options to help customers complete the order: 1) selecting replacement: we offer discount 20-30% for replacement items 2)ship the ready 3)keep waitting. Actually, if you are hurry for the goods, we suggest you just order our items with "ready time: 3 days" which are all in stock and can be prepared within 3 days. Anyway, we understand customers' frustration when sometimes you have to wait long, and we are now trying to improve this condition by increasing our stock level.

Regarding shipping, we do hand the package to the shipping company in time. The problem is that the big shipping company like DHL, UPS, Fedex often run out of their shipping space these days especially in holiday season because of the rapid increasing international electronic commerce. We have to wait several days until the flight is to be scheduled. While waitting for flight, the shipping company can not provide any info about the package. That is why the shipping company told you that they have not gotten the package from us when you called them. Please kindly understand the shipping is out of our control after the package is handed to the shipping company. It does't make sense for Pandahall to hold customers' orders when goods are prepared, right?

Regarding complaints, we know complaint is unavoidable for online business. We are always trying our best to solve complaints in the way that is satisfactory to customers. But sometimes customers may have different views about the solution we put forward, since customers can not see the real products when shopping online, they may have different expectations and quality standard about our products. When such things happened, we suggest you return the issued items for a full refund.

Anyway, hope we still have the chance to serve you better in future. If there are anything we can do to ammend the mistake we possibly make, please feel free to contact us.

Just Fabulous!
January 5, 2020

PandaHall are a fabulous company to do business with.
I have bought my jewellery supplies from PandaHall for quite a few years now and they never fail to please me. The products are just as described on their website, good quality and really good value. I buy all my jewellery supplies from them as I full trust their business ethics.
If I ever have a question about a product before ordering they get back to me straight away, customer service is excellent, A1!
The orders arrive in the expected time scale and the packaging is really good, plenty of protective bubble wrap. I have never received a package damaged in transit, which is amazing considering they come half way round the world!
The website is easy to navigate and you have continuous access to your account, orders and frequent order updates.
I highly recommend PandaHall and I am sure you will enjoy your products as much as I do.

If there is an issue the customer service responds quickly and work well to solve it. Shipping is quick and the items are always securely packaged. They also have sales, coupons and point systems so you can find various ways to get discounts.

Great source for jewelry supplies
November 9, 2021

I have placed multiple orders with PandaHall over the past 2 years. Deliveries were always very fast, customer service is great and they are very fast in replying to requests. If something isn't in stock, they will let you know and offer you a discount on a replacement item or they ship out the rest and give you a refund. They have a very wide range of products available, the quality of the items I have ordered has always been good and I'll definitely be ordering from them again.

This is the most complete place to make your purchases of precious stones, findings and more.
Products of very good quality and the best price. The customer service is excellent, if the product is not available, they let you know and offer you alternatives to satisfy your needs. For example, select replacement with 20% discount according the out of stock sum or ship the ready and cancel the rest. Pandahall also offer you a customer reward program.

Best of the Best on the Web
May 14, 2021

I love PandaHall. I have dealt with them for a few years now and have always been impressed with their website, their communication and eagerness to have everything perfect for their customers. The products they offer are outstanding and vast in range. I can find 99.9% of what I need for my craft. The prices including shipping are very low in comparison to other sites and shipping times, usually within 1 week from China to rural Australia, is just amazing and always packaged well. This is definitely a site you can trust and I will continue to purchase from them in the future. Great job PandaHall!
