I've ordered a couple of times from CRC Beads. Beautiful quality beads, many sizes and types available, and prices are very reasonable. Shipping was also quick.

These people are so incompetent, I'm thrilled that we went elsewhere. They didn't show up for an estimate; their tracking said they arrived; I waited outside - nothing there. Then they lied and said they rang the doorbell (no, they didn't - because I have a video doorbell - duh). They said they called several times - but they wrote down my phone number incorrectly.
They pretty much ruined our day, but luckily they won't be ruining our patio doors.

I left a detailed message, on this company's website, about doors, sizes, & other data. A few minutes later, I got a call from a DIFFERENT door company, wanting to set up an appointment. The company I contacted gave my information to a competitor without asking me! They couldn't call first? Sneaky.

  • TeaLyra

2/1/24

Updated after returning tea - Tealyra was very good about returning the order and made a quick refund, without any hassle!
Original review - Very unimpressed with my tea order. I got several types, both familiar blends and a couple new ones to try. The masala chai, which I normally love, is so overdone with cloves that it burns my throat; nasty. Three other herbal blends all have unpleasant aftertastes to me. I was hoping to find a new tea source - no. But their CS was well handled!

I ordered several bags of filters. The price was excellent (a third of that "major online retailer"!). Ordering was easy, CC payment was smooth, and delivery was very fast. Absolutely nothing to complain about! Nice experience.

  • Sunshadeswt

We ordered a "top of the line" residential window film. There was film on the windows from a previous owner, at least 18 years ago. We wanted more sun protection as the back of the house faces west, so we paid Sunshades to remove the old film, as well as paid for the new-tech film & install. We see ZERO DIFFERENCE. I feel like we just threw several thousand dollars away, and I basically feel lied to by the sales rep's pitch. I would never call these folks again.

I've been buying from these people for years; very convenient as they take Visa, delivery was reliable. A couple weeks ago, I couldn't log into their website. Then my emails were returned as non-deliverable. Their phone wasn't working. I finally got through on a chat, and got flaky & misleading info... Eventually found out that I am not in their delivery area (although they've been delivering here for +5 years). Zero communication from Goddess; emails and messages were never returned. Maybe they got hit by an asteroid? Don't know, and if that's a reorg or something, I no longer care. Rudely handled.

Verified purchase

I thought ordering from Oakley would be a step above some of the other web based eyeglasses. Wrong. Lenses scratched too easy. Transactions is rather light. Progressive lenses were not well done. And their crappy pads or rubber nose pieces break or fall off. I wrote Oakley - no response, so NEVER AGAIN.

These people do very little, luckily, because they do almost everything sloppily. Or not at all. Follow through on issues never happens.

To follow their directions to remove spam in gmail: #1: click on the icon with the exclamation point. #2: there is no freaking icon with an exclamation point. No diagrams, nothing. Doesn't anybody proof your stuff?

This company did reach out to fix the misrepresented socket, and wanted to correct it. I had enough alternative parts to have already finish my project.

Original: I needed a special bulb socket for a landscape well light. I talked to someone at Aqlighting, and they had the exact part I needed! Only, when it arrived, it was obviously not the same part described. I was able to use the socket after jimmy-rigging it, and it was a pain in the a**, but the light works again. Strike one. Now strike two: I ordered 2 new well lights from Aqlighting; theirs was exactly what I needed, and at a great price. BUT (yeah, again) the advertised 9 foot wire lead is about 10 inches long. Seriously?! Luckily I have enough landscape wire that I can run a long loop to the lights. So, also luckily, I don't need to contact this company EVER AGAIN. Zero out of two... So simple yet sooo far...

This is the first time I used this jewelry supplier (Bead3.com/BeadBuddies); I will definitely be back. I just needed a couple magnet clasps, which they have in four colors! Then I noticed the 'Free shipping over $60', so I shopped around their website and bought several other supplies - beads, clasps, crimp covers. Everything was great quality! My order was in the mail the next day, and the free shipping was Fast! Thank you BeadBuddies!

Bent & mangled findings, sizes marked incorrectly. Jewelry supplies are a dime a dozen, this place is worth 2ยข.

  • Lima Beads

9/16/19

I have placed several orders with Lima Beads this year, and have not had one single problem with any of the orders. NONE, which is pretty spectacular compared to several other online bead suppliers. Prices are good, competitive. Quality has always been great. Their organization of the orders is done well - bead types are bagged with numbers that correspond to the invoice; makes it very easy to inventory.

  • Art Beads

4/30/19

I have placed 4 orders with Artbeads within the past couple of months, for beads and other supplies, and THREE of the 4 orders were filled incorrectly. A cheaper pliers instead of a side cutter, smaller lapis beads than ordered (and worse, incorrectly labeled). The latest (and last) order was shorted a couple strands of TWO different bead types.
Artbeads did eventually fix the orders, but 3 out of 4?! I'm done with them! Not only did it delay projects, but then I had the added hassle of having to write them to explain their mistakes, plus make special trips to the Post Office for the returns.
Their canned apology email sounds hollow after 3 times... (The last time, I was told "We do ask that you please keep the item(s) you received in error as a gift"... but I was SHORTED merchandise on the last order! Anybody home? Insulting.).
I ordered online for convenience; they were anything but. Their selection and prices were okay; but their website is painfully slow at refreshing; they just don't seem up to the task of running a business.
