Lots of choice
Easy to find what you need and to order it. Plenty of choice. Dispatch could have been a bit quicker but maybe I’ve been spoilt recently.

Bead Heaven
Wide selection of glass beads and findings, of good quality. Some nice semi-precious gem beads too, although I would like to see a bigger variety. Excellent customer service: prompt delivery and quick, efficient handling of a minor muddle with one of my orders. Recommended company to shop with!

3 stars as the wire loops I had to cut myself! Previously I had brought them already cut. The stock has reduced a lot as I have to shop elsewhere to buy the bulk beads I was after.

Right on time, Great Packaging and detailed Description
The seed beads that I ordered, delivered right on time with a nice packaging and labels for each size and colour! I'm really happy with the Bead Shop and it was my 3rd time ordering items from them.

Fast delivery and high quality
Very fast delivery, recieved exactly what I ordered, and the beads were of high-quality. A couple chips in the translucent yellow but more than enough to work around them. Great quality overall, love the sea blue beads especially!

Outstanding service
Having changed from a competitor to the Bead Shop I am highly impressed with what is available. I was able to find exactly what I required with a minimum of effort and the service I received was excellent. I shall now use the Bead Shop for all my future requirements.
