Has anybody ever ordered from them?
I googled up "wholesale beading supplies" and their name came up. I did a comparison of their prices to Fire Mountain and found that almost everything I compared, they were MUCH less expensive.
Swarovski® Crystal Beads - 6mm round, all colors, 144 pieces
FireMountain $35.43
Arizona Beads $12.25 per 72 beads, $24.50 for two strands equalling 144. $9.80 per stand of 72 if ordering 6 strands or more.
The only difference is that FireMountain sells AB beads and Arizona has AC beads. I'm not sure but from what I understand AB beads are color coated beads and AC beads are not. I could sure be wrong about this and, if so, somebody please correct me AND explain the difference!
Also spot checked prices on sterling silver stuff and it was less expensive than FireMountain.
They don't ship as fast as FireMountain. State on their website that it's normally 6 to 8 days before they ship the order.
I am thinking of ordering some beads from them, but thought I'd see if anyone here has ever ordered from them first.
