bulk bead buying

Has any one tried buying bulk bead from the bulk bead yahoo group?
Roxan

I've been involved in a Swarovski buy and a Bali Silver buy so far. I think
there are quite a few folks here that participate.

I've participated in a number of buys. It's a great thing, provided you are
looking for the best price as opposed to a quick turnaround time.

HEH.

Not only do I buy...I am running a lot of them.

FMG, Foreign Source (findings - closed, awaiting shipment of ~$9000 worth of
silver), 925balisilver (shipping one that was over $12,000 worth of silver,
and just send in an order for about $6,000 worth), plus have done several
others in the past (plasa bali, vitabeads, swarovksi).

In fact, I am doing an unofficial run to the store that I picked up those
wonderful swarovskis, to pick them up for people on the board...about $500
worth.

WHEW...I would say I participate.

as tink said, you have to be prepared for a turnaround time. We are
volunteers doing this. I thought it would take me around 2 weeks to mail
back out the Bali, but because of mistakes in the learning process of having
to make labels, I missed about 1/2, so had to make a bunch by hand. Between
that, mini-burnouts, and on occasion taking a day to have a life (and the
other buys), it has taken me a little longer than I thought to mail out.
This next one should be a little better.

I tried to register on the yahoo one but couldn't remember my password. I
will try again. It sounds like a great way to buy beads and I am not in a
hurry for them since I have so many now and not enough time to create more
pieces. But there is always room for one more batch of good beads.

Yes.

Some buys are all you hope they will be... others leave a lot to be desired.
Some hosts are very on-top of things, and keep everybody informed about status
of the order, and get products to buyers as quickly as humanly possible (Mary
is like this...).

As for others.... well, I'm STILL waiting for an order that I paid for in
March. No communications from the original host, and the person who "took over"
hasn't been able to find my order yet, either, despite multiple "resends" of
the information. And, this was not a case of the manufacturer causing problems
(whaich also happens sometimes).
