Beads and Jewelry Supplies

In the list of shipping options, you select standard U.S. mail. We will ship via the lowest cost method to U.S.A. destinations for free, except for extremely large orders. For those, we charge the actual shipping cost and get your approval of the cost first. We can ship via priority mail too, at just $4.99. We also offer UPS and Fed Ex shipping if you prefer. Shipping an international order is actual cost based on weight. Please see our FAQ page (frequently asked questions) for details.

We sure do! There are a few countries that we exclude, so be sure to read our FAQ (frequently asked questions) page for details. Be sure to select the "international" shipping option. Free shipping does not apply to international orders.

At the speed of light! Well, maybe not quite that fast, but we aim to please. Most of our bead orders are shipped within 24 hours of receipt (except on days when the shippers don't work.) If the order arrives before 4:00 p.m. Mountain time, we can usually get it packaged and shipped the same day.

Most of our customers are jewelry making artisans, both beginners and experts, with high quality standards. They know our quality beads and jewelry supplies produce better, longer lasting results, and they appreciate our prompt delivery. They know our prices are reasonable too. So, if you bead, you can't go wrong here.

No way! Many of our customers use our beads to embellish fabric or as craft components. We know at least some of our products have been used in theater and advertising production, as well as by party planners and wedding planners. Our beads and jewelry supplies have also been used by sculptors, woodworkers, teachers, home decorators, and collectors. There is no end to the ways you can use our beads and other products.

Of course! (The only exception is our beading books and magazines.) Just send the items back in unaltered condition, and we'll refund your purchase price for up to 6 months after the date of purchase. (We do keep the $5.00 minimum order amount to cover shipping and handling, so please keep that in mind if you return all items in your order.) You don't need an RMA number to return something. Please package the beads with a little padding, so they won't break on the return trip. Please see our FAQ (frequently asked questions) page for details on our policies.

Yes, it is $5.00. We had to implement a minimum order amount when we added free shipping. The minimum order amount is not refunded if you return your order.

You bet we do! We love PayPal. We also accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, and money order payments. Please refer to our FAQ page for details.

Yes, we do. Check out the "More Information" link. You will also find information on bead related terminology, bead combination ideas, number of seed beads per gram, some of our original designs not for sale at this time, a virtual tour of our Albuquerque bead shop, and much more.

You betcha. We've got a bead shop in Albuquerque's Old Town, and we're open every day (well. . .except major holidays and when we get stuck at home due to snow.)

Yes, you certainly can. Keep in mind that, because we run a retail shop, telephone orders can be difficult for us. If you are concerned about giving your credit card information over the web, place your order online and choose payment by money order, then call or fax us the payment information. That way there is no question about what you ordered, your address, or the price, yet your card information is safe. (Actually, we have very good cyber security in place, but we understand that you may be concerned about the risk.)
