Shopping Spotlight: Scrapbuck

Shopping Spotlight: Scrapbuck.com

This is my first recommendation and will ALWAYS be one of my highest. I prefer to talk about sites that I have ordered from at least once before but will specify if I haven't.

I've ordered from scrapbuck twice now and I have no issues with them. They are fast, friendly and reliable. At first I thought it might have been a scam because everything is so cheap but no, it certainly is the real deal.

So far I haven't had an issue with them in the least. With my first order they were out of a product so they let me know and credited it back to my account. I was a bit disappointed because I had already known how I was going to use it but eh, what are you going to do?

A pointer of mine is they have a lot of "cheap" items, non namebrand. I believe the name is "forever in time". The packaging is purple and looks rather cheap but I will say MOST of the products are okay. Without looking into the zoomed in ribbon product I bought it and it wasn't worth my money to say the least. I don't know what I'm going to do with it and it was a waste of money. I used it on a project and it made it look rather cheap. So all I can say is watch what you buy. Also one of the tape runners I bought got tangled and broken within two seconds of using it but besides those incidents I don't mind the brand and still try it because it is cheap.

I find the site most useful on purchasing paper, stamps, sticks and ribbon. They update their stock constantly but since shopping with them I notice they generally have a lack of punches and inks. While they do have a bit of both, the ink is off brand(Nothing wrong with that but I prefer my Distress inks and other name brand products) and the punches are almost never cute.

Besides watching out for the "cheap" products that they carry I have a satisfactory shopping experience with them.

From as long as I've known about them they don't seem to do "e-coupons" but with the prices of anywhere from less then a dollar up to about ten dollars you don't really need it.

On a side note I am rather cheap when it comes to shipping and I'm sure you'll become aware of this in my reviews. One of the things I ADORE about this site is hit $20 and it's free shipping! Also they work fast, all orders are shipped within one business day. Which in terms of shipping makes it the best deal and the quickest scrap-booking site I order from. Most of the others take about a week.
Example: I ordered from scrap-booking-warehouse.com on a Sunday took 8 days to get to me, got here on a Monday. The processing was about 2-3 days. Ordered from scrapbuck.com on a Sunday,  it was delivered on a Thursday. Processing like they advertise is only 1 day. While they don't have everything I need they're a great buy.

If I gave ratings they'd have a perfect score. I love this site!
