BeadBuddies.net is owned and operated by Rod and Kim Connors out of Gray, Georgia. Kim has been beading for over 18 years and we started our business because we had trouble finding the beads we needed at reasonable prices. We are beaders and also use the beads we sell. Quality is extremely important to us!
We love to shop on the Internet and want you to enjoy shopping from us! We designed our site so you don't have to register, get a password, or fill out long forms just to see our prices. Everything is easy to find and our pictures are designed for fast download speeds! We sell to everyone including hobbyists, wholesalers, designers, bead stores, and schools.
We purchase our beads directly from the manufacturers to offer you the best possible prices. We offer our products at extremely low prices because we have very low overhead and purchase in bulk. We also negotiate with competing factories to make sure we get the best price! We always purchase the highest grade and quality available and you will find our prices for the top grade and quality are a fraction of the price you pay elsewhere for lower quality and grades.
As one of our customers you deal directly with the owners of the business. When you have a question you get a response from someone who knows beads and the bead industry. We truly value all of our bead buddy customers and you will experience this first hand when doing business with us.
We currently offer free priority mail shipping on any U.S. order over $50 but even if your order is under $50, shipping charges will not exceed $3. That is what we expect when we go shopping online but often do not find. Unfortunately, some companies purposely lure you in with low bead prices. Once you have invested your time finding what you want and are about to check out they hit you with their shipping prices which often equal the same or more than the rest of your order. This never happens at BeadBuddies.net.
We use PayPal for most of our payments because they charge us a very low fee and provide us with excellent service. We do not charge a fee for using PayPal. PayPal is a highly respected payment processing service used by millions of people in numerous countries. PayPal is one of the most secure and respected payment processing services available and they work extremely hard to protect us and our customers' privacy.
We offer several other payment services as well. If you do not feel comfortable using the Internet to make your payment, you can call us or mail us your order. We happily accept checks, money orders, Western Union, and more. We also accept faxed orders. Just click on Mail Orders for more details.
We hope you enjoy shopping on our site and sincerely thank you for your business and comments!
Sincerely,
Rod & Kim Connors
Owners
