Excellent personal service
I was very pleased with the quality of the beads I received and look forward to creating some new necklaces for summer.
There had been a delay in receiving my order due to Royal Mail issues but I was very impressed by the responses and support from the Bead Shop with this matter. They had a genuine personal interest, hence my 5* rating.

Pleasantly surprised. I shall shop again.
Pleasantly surprised. I've never dealt with the Bead Shop before, but picked up on the name when looking for something for my beading. Their prices are competitive, they have a wide range of products, well described. They don't thrash you with a hefty postage charge, and they keep you well informed about your order. I shall be returning.
