Can someone please explain how this site works. I'm kind of confused on the no name on the products & how do you go about searching for things? If you shop there how is delivery and the quality.
Thanks in advance

It is confusing, I only purchased one time. Bought a large lot of enamel dots. I was quite impressed by the relatively quick shipping. You main search by type of item, say dies, washi tape, enamel dots, stickers, then you just keep going through until you find the best price. Lots of times same item is offered for many different prices.

Here is a thread I posted a while back that might also help. This may also be informational.

I just placed a large order ($30.00 gets you ALOT) with them last week and things have already started to trickle in. It's fun going to the mailbox everyday and there's a little package there for me to open. Getting ready to place another order!

It is VERY confusing. My other message board now has a thread with links where people have found stuff. That helps and unfortunately, I found a cute Dachshund die because of it. It doesn't seem to be a knockoff of the other Dachshund dies I've seen or found. I really want to order it but haven't so far.

So I've only had experience buying a ballet tutu off aliexpress, but I'll share that it was good! The first tutu I ordered did not match the description/picture (we needed a platter and got a skirt) I had to dispute it with Aliexpress because the seller told me it was only because I ordered the wrong size. With a couple of pictures, I got my full refund minus $7 (shipping) but kept the tutu. Ordered from a different seller and got a perfect platform tutu for about 1/3 what I'd pay here.
So I would certainly order scrapbook stuff from them too (and tend to waste hours browsing!)

I have bought only enamel dots but buy washi and dies from ebay (same or similar companies) and never had an issue. One washi pulped the foil from the next layer and they refunded me (did it wrong so it deducted the pp fee, but not a huge deal). But nothing bad has ever happened. I will say that I have a CC that allows me to generate single use alternate card numbers. I use that on aliexpreas and studio calico because I don't necessarily trust either with my regular card details. If not for being lazy and not wanting to constantly generate new numbers, I would have ordered the washi and dies from aliexpress, too.

I search for cutting dies, embossing folders, clear stamps and washi. I then choose to view starting with lowest priced and free shipping. You will find multiple sellers offering the same product so I opt for the lowest priced. It takes time to browse all the pages, but it is worth it for the savings. Using the mobile app also offers even lower prices. Make sure you read the descriptions carefully. I've had delivery range between 2 weeks and 3 months and only 1 stamp was of poor quality. I do find some of the embossing folders are thicker than what is sold here but they still work.
