I could not find a thread that can answer this question and if I missed it, please pass it along. :cool:
I have a Jo and a Mike near me and most of the LSSs are closing shop! It looks like I will have to make my supply purchases (besides stamps) online. What is your favorite all-purpose online store you shop at? I will need to buy stuff like embossing powders, Holtz goodies, inks, etc. I hate to buy from a ton of sites and end up paying too much on shipping. Love to hear your preferences!
Also, I've ordered several times from Joann.com with good luck - the trick is to wait until they have a good sale and then use a code for free shipping. If you use a 40% off coupon, you can't get free shipping, but you can if the items are on sale already.
7kidscollegefund also has great variety and free shipping on orders over $75 - but watch when you order to be sure that all your items have the free shipping logo. Some of them aren't eligible for the free shipping.
Also Scrapyland.com I've had good luck with - right now they have free shipping on orders over $50.
My go-to spot is Frantic Stamper - rubberstamp & scrapbook supplies. They are great to work with and while they rarely, if ever, offer specials or free shipping, they do work with you to determine the best way to ship something. The website is a bit of a challenge (you have to email them or fax them your order, rather than placing things in your shopping cart) but I think they are working on that. They do have a great variety.
CropStop.com - free shipping with purchase over $30.00. Their service is top notch. I also did my first order from 7Kids College Fund. I ordered over Labor Day weekend and should be here tomorrow. GinaK is also great!
Here's another thread that was started on this same subject:
To respond to the original poster's question......There really is no ONE on-line store to order all products. You do have to shop around to find the products you are looking for. If you want specific brands, do a search by brand then narrow down. I try to stick with my local AC Moore store most and in a pinch go to Michaels or JoAnns.
When ordering on-line, go to the ones who have free shipping with a minimum order. I will always meet the minimum amount for the free shipping.
Granted I do a lot of my shopping through Stampin' Up, but there is also a great site I stalk called ScrapbookSteals (scrapbooksteals.com | We R Retro Glam Card & Premade Pages). They post one item/package/kit a day at about 50% or so off retail. They have high quality stuff (like My Minds Eye, Xyron, Martha Stewart, Thickers, etc) and their customer service is fantastic. So, another tip to check out if you don't mind waiting and seeing what comes up.
Thanks! It is amazing how many sites everyone shops at. I figure there will never be a one-stop-shop for me but the lower the cost for free shipping and good prices, the more I will shop there.
I have a wish list of things I need and would like to get shopping soon!
Where do you get your supplies online?
