Craft Direct

I had a question about an order I placed, and in less than an hour, I heard back from someone. Communications were friendly and professional. The order shipped quickly, and I was informed immediately. Great service. I will definitely order from them again.

The products I purchased are nice and the prices were good. However, after my order was acknowledged, I never received a followup tracking number that they said would be provided when the product shipped. I reached out to their support about it but then received the package that day. So they shipped quickly - just didn't inform as they said they would. And the product (two 12x12 cardstock sets) were bent down the middle because the shipping bag was flimsy and had no support. So I won't order again. I'm pretty sure I can salvage the bent product - but this was my first order from them and if they can't bother to put a piece of cheap chipboard in their packaging to keep their products from getting bent then I can't be bothered with ordering from them again. Sad because I was really hopeful that this might be a good place for me to get paper products.

I finally got a Sizzix Big Shot machine and began searching for Bigz dies, so my grandkids and I could turn cardboard and junk mail into fun designs. I found quite a few on Ebay and Etsy but then discovered Craft Direct, where brand-new dies are available for less-than-secondhand prices! I will definitely be shopping with them in the future. My order was professionally packaged and the dies are indeed brand-new, unopened and in perfect condition.

UPDATE: After writing the review below, I tried another tactic and reached out to the company on FB Messenger. After 4 days, I actually received a response. After asking for photos of the wrinkled cardstock, they did resend the damaged items in a rigid mailer. I still would not have confidence in them going forward, but at least they did the right thing in this instance.

Ordered a pack of cardstock and some embellishment packs. They sent it in a soft sided envelope with no protection for the cardstock so it is wrinkled. I have tried emailing and calling -- no response at all! It says the following on their website: "We are committed to providing each customer with the highest standard of service. We make it our goal to put a smile on each of our customers' faces." NOT TRUE IN MY EXPERIENCE! I am certainly not smiling about the money wasted on wrinkled cardstock.

The selection and prices of items were very good. Prompt delivery of order. After care for customers was a surprise. Overall a pleasant experience and I will be ordering from them again.
