Additional August Updates:
We've all seen the recent price increases in the bead industry, and it's frustrating to watch essential supplies become unaffordable. We believe everyone deserves access to quality beading materials at fair prices, and that's why we're launching this pre-order system for Miyuki Delica Bead Mixes.
Our goal is to make beading more accessible and affordable for you. Pre-ordering allows us to consolidate orders and purchase in larger quantities, which helps us keep our prices fair and stable. It also reduces shipping costs and environmental impact by cutting down on individual shipments.
By working together, we can resist unfair pricing practices and ensure we all have the materials we need to create the beautiful things we love. We believe in transparency and are committed to being a reliable and trustworthy source for your beading supplies.
NOTE: Miyuki provided numbers to all of their beads for consistency and transparency; so regardless of where you purchase your tubes a Miyuki number should be visible.
Pre-ordering is not limited to Miyiki Mixes. If you have your Miyuki number(s) and a good description you can make a Pre-order request. Email pre_orders@thebeadstylist.comHere's how it works:
Dedicated Pre-Order Page: A dedicated page on my blog/newsletter will feature listings for the Miyuki Delica Bead Mixes (100g or 50g). Each listing will include a picture of the mix and a "Pre-Order Now" button.
Secure PayPal Checkout: All pre-orders will be processed securely through PayPal, which accepts all major credit cards. This offers buyer protection, ensuring your peace of mind.
5-7 Day Processing Time: To maximize efficiency and minimize shipping costs, I'll be batching orders. This means there will be a 5-7 business day processing time. This allows me to consolidate orders and keep costs down, passing the savings on to you. This also allows me to keep my own overhead costs down, so I don't need to pass those costs on to you.
Expedited Processing for Larger Orders: Orders totaling $200 or more will be processed within 2-3 business days.
Transparency and Research: I've done my research, and I can assure you that my primary wholesale bead suppliers are not currently raising prices to these egregious levels. I'm committed to providing you with beads at the lowest possible price I can while remaining profitable so that I can continue to serve the beading community.
Community Collaboration: I encourage you to connect with your local beading, craft, and jewelry design communities! Consider combining orders with trusted friends and colleagues to potentially save even more on shipping. Just be sure everyone involved is trustworthy to ensure smooth transactions. This is a great way to support each other and combat price gouging together.
It’s all pretty new, but I am impressed by how much I’ve accomplished in February despite having to take time from other beady stuff, a couple of pieces of bead news and articles are really important to get to the beading community.
The monthly RoundUp isn’t an original idea, but a very clever and useful one that small business should use for their blog / newsletter postings. We’re new and not really out there yet with what we have to offer; and what’s offered doesn’t appeal to everyone so this monthly RoundUp will really come in handy for those just wanting the specific bit of information.
