I've bought a bunch of dies and sequins. What has everyone been buying?

I'm still slightly nervous to buy from this website for some reason. I don't know if it's because I heard too many stories of people receiving things they never ordered? Anyway, have any of you had any issues with ordering, beyond the shipping time? There are some stickers I want so I'll be watching this thread.  |

I’ve ordered a few times and have never had a problem. Shipping sometimes takes a long time but I’ve always received exactly what I ordered and never had any issues with wrong charges. |

Same here. The only problem I ever had was missing a fountain pen, was
credited without any issues.

I have never had any issues.. I'm well over 800 orders (they let you see all your past orders). Shipping sometimes is slow and sometimes I get it within a week!

It seems like things are going a bit faster now. |

I ordered the knock off of Tim Holtz/Sizzix's mini globe die. Long since been discontinued. No longer sold in any store, and after months of posting on ISO boards, I gave up and got the Ali one. It is backwards, I knew before I ordered, but no biggie. I just reverse the die cut, LOL.

I've been pretty happy with everything I've ordered with two exceptions: plastic bead organizers that wouldn't stay closed and a bag of mixed metal charms that had rodent droppings mixed in. I found customer service to be a complete joke so now I never spend more for something than I'm willing to write off.

I am in Australia so shipping is not too bad
I only ever buy if free shipping and usually flat backed gem embellishments for cards,pearlescent cardstock or the occasional small die
Sometimes the items are smaller than I expect but I have mostly been happy

Anyway, have any of you had any issues with ordering, beyond the shipping time? There are some stickers I want so I'll be watching this thread. I’ve never received something I didn’t order and I never order stamps. I’ve only purchased dies, blending brushes and flat back pearls. For the most part, I’ve been completely satisfied with my purchases. I’ve had a couple issues with purchases but both times it was resolved. I got a 3 piece layering die and one of the pieces was a duplicate. I was sure I was out of luck but I emailed the seller a picture and the sent me the missing piece. The other issue was that I never received a set of blending brushes I paid for. The tracking said it was delivered to the shipper but never moved. I was eventually able to get a full refund from AliExpress, it just took time. I never spend more than I’m willing to lose and I know it’s going to take a while to arrive so I keep my expectations realistic. Just make sure you read the description and measurements closely. Start with a small order and try it. |

pinklady what search did you use to find blending brushes? nvr mind. That was stupidly simple! I have just received several dies from there. All my orders were placed on May 6. I think I ended up with about 3-4 shipments and got the last one just on Wednesday of last week. So I didn't think a bad turnaround at all.

Now you can get white bristle and its taking all my restraint not to reorder them! |

Yes! I got a ton of the brushes from there awhile ago. Now each oxide ink has it's own brush  |

Is there a trick to completing an order on that site? I just tried two different cards and I keep getting a message that my payment won't go through. I have plenty in my account, so that's not the issue.
