Who Sells What List?
 
2 Attachment(s)
Let's say you come across a gotta have stamp by Darkroom Door, an Australian company, but you don't want to have to order it from Australia. Google might lead you to some suppliers, and perhaps Darkroom Door has a list of its worldwide vendors. But - it would be nice if you already had your own cross reference list of which vendors might be carrying the brand and the stamp. That's what I'm talking about; anyone have such a list?

I seem to prefer foreign stamps over most U.S. ones; so this comes up for me a lot. I started a casual list to note down alternative sources, but I haven't put much effort into it.

Thank you for this list. I am going to print this out. I recently discovered Top Flight stamps in SC as I love the Katzelkraft stamps from the UK and their service was top notch and I got it in 2 days. Of course, I am in NC so I'm sure it helped I was only 1 state away :).

One of my faves too. I have a ton of Katzelkraft stamps.

I didn't look at your list but, I get a lot of my non US brands from Frantic Stamper ( Fran is about 70 miles from my house)

The problem with a list like this is that vendors often change the lines they carry. Also, there are too many stamp companies and vendors to keep up with. It's probably easier to just do a Google search on a specific stamp, and faster than trying to maintain that list, when you want to find a stamp you want. If you do really want to make that list, I suggest using something like Excel, so you can make the Stamp companies in a row across the top and the vendors in a column. That way you can see what stamps you want (as you've done with yours), or just glance to see which stamps a particular vendor carries. Just a suggestion.

Thanks for the tip on Del Bello Designs. I had never heard of that vendor, and I like the $50 free shipping threshold.

The list probably should be switched Excel as I add to it. Originally the Word document was just a handy list to jog my memory on a handful of brands, but things like that can grow to be pretty cumbersome. (Like everything in my studio.)
