Finding a bead supplier is an easy task if you know where to look.
But who is reliable? Do they offer quality products? Are their prices affordable? What is the return policy?
I'm here to help a bit with those questions. I've shopped a variety of retailers over the years since I've been teaching and I have narrowed down my selection of favorites.
The ones I use are not the only ones, but for the amount of shopping I did to find the right suppliers to fit my needs these are my first 'go to' choices. I factored in the amount of selection I wanted, customer service, return policy, bulk discounting and first and foremost the product's quality. Some of my suppliers are local retail stores and others are internet resources.
I would encourage you to first decide what your needs are.
How much will you be buying at a time? Are you doing many projects at the same time or just one project? Do you have access to a local store? Can you get out to your local store? Take these and other factors into consideration. Finding out what your needs are first may also help to decide whether you buy on line or locally.
You will find my list by clicking here or go to 'Beading Resources' tab and find my list there as well.
If you would like to find a larger list of suppliers available to you an instant resource would be to look through a beading publication. They are loaded with suppliers fighting for your business. So again these are not the only ones just the ones I have successfully used over the years and have been pleased with my purchases.
If you have others that you have used and are pleased with I would invite you to share with us your opinion and reviews in the comment section below.
As always I am happy to help if you have any additional questions, feel free to contact me.
Happy Beading,
Teri
