UPDATED TO ADD ANOTHER ONLINE RETAILER I CAN NOT BELIEVE I FORGOT TO ADD.
I’ve decided to create a page to let you all know about the amazing online retailers I have found that offer great deals on shipping and product and ones that I personally recommend!!! It will always be linked at the top of my blog. I’ve searched high and low for the best prices and service out there and here are the companies that made the final cut. Click on the pictures and/or links to be taken to their websites. These are not stamp company websites. These are website were a variety of items/supplies can be purchased.
DISCLAIMER: I am affiliated with most of these stores, which means if you click on the link (or picture) and use it when you shop, I receive a small percentage. I am not listing any companies I do not shop at personally. I am not listing these companies to make money. I just thought it would be useful to share the companies I like because I searched high and low for online retailers that offer good shipping rates for one, and good pricing on their products for two and excellent customer service for three.- Ellen Hutson is a wonderful online retailer who has a large variety of crafty items from stamps to dies to stencils to supplies… From a personal experience, she values feedback and delivers personal attention to all customers. From my experience, they ship within 2 business days. They also take requests into consideration so if there is something you are looking for, let them know.
- Crafters Companion is a fantastic online retailer that has both a USA store AND a UK Store. They have stamps, dies, inks, supplies and the infamous Spectrum Noir alcohol markers (much more cost effective than Copic Markers). They offer free shipping on all USA orders of $50 or more. From my experience, items are shipped within 2 business days.
- BlueMoon Scrapbooking has a wide array of products for cardmakers and scrapbookers! They also offer free shipping on all USA orders of $50 or more. For international orders, they offer discounted rates for orders of $75 or more. It has been my experience that they ship within 2 days.
- Butterfly Reflections is a small online store whose focus is to keep current (new) products in stock at a lower price. It has been my experience that she ships within 24 hours. Also, if there is something that you are looking for that she doesn’t carry in the store, let her know. She might be able to get it for you. She also offers FREE shipping on all USA orders over $60.
- Dick Blick is a great place to shop for all your artsy needs at extremely discounted prices! They offer free domestic shipping on orders over $99 and also offers International shipping rate options.
- Simon Says Stamp has the most inventory of the online stores for the most part. They often include coupons with shipped orders and many times, a coupon can be found on the home page. It has been my experience they ship within 5 business days.
Love Ellen Hutson! That is where ALL our Copics have come from ~ among other things!
All great places to get “a fix” 😉
Thanks Laurel, I use MFT and Simon Says, but its so handy to know where others shop to get good deals! This is a great idea 🙂
Thanks so much for this. Shopping at SSS is frustrating. I had one incident of an order taking over a month to arrive and when I questioned it was told I should’ve paid for insurance?! First I ever heard of having to pay extra on top of shipping to get something in a timely manner.
I don’t shop to much at Simon Says Stamp mainly because of the shipping issues & sometimes waiting a long time for items in stock. There are just too many other online retailers that do a better job. It’s like you’re going to be in business or you’re not. It’s not necessary to frustrate the customers with botched shipping and an easy thing to fix. Many other companies do just fine in that department. I will look into Butterfly Reflections—never heard of it. Also, LOVE the Ellen Hutson shop and have bought from there in the past. In fact, I just placed an order on Tuesday and it shipped the next day!! I also like Starlit Studio—awesome prices and super fast shipping (many cases same day if you order early in the day).
Thank you very much!
