Green Q.

When items are on sale, it's usually a good deal. BOGOs and buy one get one half off is great. Especially if they are items I use frequently, or are expensive at the regular prices. It's a hit or a miss with packaging. Mostly not enough bubble wrap is wrapped around products in glass containers and makeup palettes. The only thing that saves serious breakage of stuff, is because my orders were put in little shipping boxes, so the items I ordered did not have much round to be bouncing around the sides of the boxes.

Great vintage finds for jewelry making. Many unusual beads that are real gems to make jewelry pieces with. Delivery is very fast too. If you see something you like please don't hesitate to buy it, especially if it's low in stock. Often I find items I can't find anywhere else. It's a personal goal of mine to visit this store in person and buy a huge haul of jewelry making supplies.

This is the first time I ever ordered from ArtBeads.com
I placed an order at ArtBeads.com. During a recent major sale event. It took almost 10 days to get my delivery. Tracking system is hard to figure out, unless you have online shopping experience & know the long azz tracking number is with United States Postal Service, you may get frustrated when you get no email follow up after the shipment is made & find no info to navigate where to look on their website for tracking info. After 5 business days went by waiting for an email update to track the package I finally put the number in to Google search & was redirected to USPS, that's how I tracked the package. When the package arrived all items where in the box.

Ripped off! Really ripped off! Just days after I got my package, I got a call from a fraud protection service I use. There were two "suspicious charges" made using my bank credit card, and some other attempts to use it. 2 transactions went through my bank account, 1st one was stopped (declined) at the site where my bank info was used. However, the 2nd one was used to made a gift card purchase at a major dept. store's website. My bank info was used (in a different state I don't live in) through the dept. store's website, the frauder(s) had created an email address with my personal name, home address & phone number. The frauder(s) used the same email website I have "my email address" at. (I had changed my business email address a month before I made the purchase at ArtBeads.com, so it had very limited use. No purchasing emails until I used ArtBeads.com.) The frauder(s) had the gift card sent to their fake-$#*!-fraudulent created email address, so they could use the email gift card or sell it. So yeah & for real, this all happened within 10 days after using the ArtBeads.com website.

Some employee(s) working at ArtBeads.com are internet personal ID & banking crime committers. Never again will I buy from there. I make jewelry and sell it as a part time job. My items are sold through art galleries & small trendy stores. I would have been a very steady customer, ordering a couple of hundred dollars of supplies every few months, because they do have unique findings for jewelry making. But screw that now. I have other jewelry supply websites I've ordered from for 10+ years. Never I had any issues with identity theft & hacking my bank account until I used ArtBeads.com. The dept. store is tracking down the fake email address, IP address of computer that was used to make the the email with my personal info because the email gift card was sent to it. I told the fraud prevention this crime happened after I placed on order with ArtBeads.com. I hope nobody else gets ripped off in the manner I did. If they do report it to the police, fraud prevention, file a complaint with the bank so they can report the activity on a bank account that's been hacked, file a complaint with the better business bureau. Most of all never order from ArtBeads.com ever!
