Fast Shipping, Fab Products
I NEED WHOLESALERS who will provide me with great products, fabulous prices, fast shipping and a method of purchasing that is fast and easy to use.
Artbeads.com has proven to be one of my new favorites to provide everything I need. Here’s why:
- Artbeads products range from basics (Swarovski crystals, findings in basemetal, sterling, or gold plated, etc.,) to innovative (rad sterling beads that are flexible) and a little on the higher end of the quality/price spectrum.
- Item photos good and large enough so shoppers can see a good depiction of what you are buying.
- I’ve never been disappointed in the product quality after many orders.
- Pricing is competitive, even lower than some wholesalers, but you will not find “cheap” items.
A huge boon is real-time inventory information. This means no disappointing call or email about out-of-stock issues. One item was out of a stock, but Customer Service called me and asked whether I wanted cancel or place the order on backorder — even giving me an estimated arrival date. Shoppers can’t even order out-of-stock items.
Art Beads’ shopping cart is very easy too use. When I clicked on Sterling Toggle Clasps, the entire inventory of these clasps quickly appear on one page. Comparison shopping becomes a breeze that saves a lot of time.
As you check out, you can easily delete impulse or other items you no longer want.
Shipping — one of the key components of an online shopping experience. Have you ever ordered something online, and then tapped your foot, checked the mailbox, hounded UPS/FedEx the minute after you’d hit the send button? Don’t lie, of course you have!!! When I buy something at a craft store, I can use it right away. When I order something online, I have to wait. And I have VERY little patience.
Artbeads.com’s shipping is lightning fast. I ordered on Wednesday during a holiday season and received my order by Friday. The packaging and shipping are great — items carefully packed, style individually bagged and sticker information.
Setting up an ArtBeads account means you don’t have to re-enter shipping and payment information each time.
One other neat feature is the Ideas Gallery. Many arts and crafts sites have this feature, but the ideas here are good, even though they all naturally use Art Beads products.
Finally, ArtBead’s customer service is outstanding. Order and shipping confirmations arrive fast, but the big difference is that they are sent by real people.

Artbeads.com is a worthwhile site to visit for beading fans.. Pricing, easy selection, and fast shipping are the main reasons I will continue shopping at Artbeads.com to feed MY obsession.
