I opted to order a variety of metallics and some odds and ends from them
since they seemed to have such an extensive collection and decent prices.

The shipping date they quoted seemed at the long end of the scale... are
they just being conservative or do shipments from there tend to take a
while? Unfortunately, this wasn't something I noticed until *after* I'd
placed the order.

it's not a big deal. Not like I can just sit down and start stitching with
all that stuff anyway. But I am curious as to what to expect from them.

heh, we just had a discussion about this in another of my groups.

My orders ALWAYS take around 4 weeks - that's right, 28 days, give or
take a couple - to arrive. And they rarely charge my card until they
ship, which makes banking frustrating in the meantime because my card is
a debit and I keep seeing money there that I can't touch. I haven't yet
had them get an order wrong, they're just slow... at least for me.

Because of this, I only order from them when I'm getting supplies for a
project that I can't get from a local shop or Stitches N Things (i.e.
Anchor floss for a Silver Lining or embellishment packs for Just Nan
pieces) and that I'm not going to be starting in the near future.
