What do our customers say?

LOL. I found Starburst in my package. They are a perfect commentary on what it feels like to get an order from Limabeads!

Mary B.

Just got home from a long weekend to a wonderful assortment of clasps. They are all just great - even better than they appeared on the site. Service was fast and easy - and who doesn't like candy.

Rosemary S.

Just wanted to let the lima team know that I love shopping on your website. Your service is fantastic!! You carry some very nice beads, findings, etc. And, when I have talked to a couple of you on the phone you are exceptionally nice and helpful.

Pam C.

I love shopping on your site. Your service is quick, your products are nice, and I love your specials! Thanks,

Carla R.

Wow! All I have to say is WOW! Great service, speedy delivery and wonderful, wonderful product. I had made a goof and ordered cabochons by mistake, but I will work with the wonderful stones I received!!! Thank you and I look forward to purchasing from Lima Beads time and time again!

Lesa B.
Fontana, CA

I have a pile of lodalite and rutilated quartz sparkling on my kitchen table, and I may never order anything again because these are so beautiful I'm sure I'll never see their match. Thank you for offering these fantastic stones! And just kidding about before; you'll surely tempt me soon enough.

Alice T.
Galesburg, MI

You guys are adorable!! I LOVE your website and have so much fun every time I visit! I am making my "wish list" and hope to order soon but there's too much to wish for! Keep up the good work!!

April D.

YAY!!! A great new selection of clasps along with the great beads! I've been away from the computer for a week so am catching up but am so psyched to see the new slections! Now it will be even easier to design pieces because we won't have to shop several places for everything that we need! One stop shopping (almost) on our favorite site! Maybe down the road you'll consider adding stringing materials, wire, other accessories?

Beth G.
Parsippany, NJ

I placed my first order with you on Thursday, and received my beads and findings and everything today. I couldn't get the package open fast enough! (You are very efficient packers ... it made opening it even more fun trying to tear through tape and bags and boxes!!). I am so pleased with everything and really thank you for your excellent prices and quality. The Big Green Bead Machine is awesome a lot of fun! Thank you so much for your quick service and beautiful products. The gifts I am making with these beads are sure to be appreciated by my friends and family.

Seth K.

Love you madly. Received my first order and was so pleased I just couldn't wait to send in my second order. This is the beginning of a bee-yootiful friendshop.

I just received my first order from you and WOW!!! Not only was it shipped super fast, but the quality is excellent!!! I was hesitant to order pearls online without seeing them in person first, but decided to give it a try. They are absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much and I look forward to placing another order soon!

Elaine G.

Just received my second order. Lima Beads has THE best selection of gemstone beads online that I've seen anywhere, as well as great prices. The shipping is super fast, even to Canada and the gemstone beads are absolutely gorgeous. Looking forward to future purchases.

Sonja R.
Terrace, BC

This is my second order with you and you amaze me. Your service is so fast and the quality of your beads is second to none. You also have stones that are hard to find. The only problem I have is... So many beads, so little time.
Thanks and happy beading,

Kerri W.

I just received my order. It came so quickly, I couldn't believe it. The beads were just exactly the colors that they are on the site. They were beautiful.

Alice T.

Thank you SO much Lima! You guys have an awesome selection and the shipping is SO fast! I placed an order with Lima and an order with a different company and Lima's order got here 2 days before my other order did! Now that's what I call customer service. You definitely have my continuing business that's for sure. :)

Courtney R.
Venice, FL

I've just received your shipment of beads and other bits and pieces. I'm blown away by the quality.I had expected them to be good, but wow!!
Now I'm trying to find some copper chain to link them all together. I hope to find it a bit closer to home (Australia) but if not, I'd welcome any suggestions you might have.

Robyn F.
Burleigh Waters, Queensland, Australia

I just wanted to let you know that I received my very first order from Limabeads today.
I am very impressed at how the orders are pulled by numbering the bags needed to fill the order.
Very smart!
And I love my beads! =)

Deborah G.

You guys are absoulutely great! I've placed countless orders with great enthusiasm and received each wonderful shipment wihtin days. Each order is better than the one before! One suggestion though: anyway Lima Beads could start carrying Orange Calcite?? I saw it in a magazine and fell in love with the intesity its' color gives off. This would truly make my day! Keep up the fabulous job!

Clementina B.
Los Angeles, CA

I love Lima Beads! The gemstone selection is to die for and the prices are very reasonable. I think my favorite part might be The big Green Bead Machine! I will literally keep it up on my browser while I'm working just to see what's up next!

Here's a somewhat overdue note to let you know how much I enjoy shopping Lima Beads. Your website is easy to use, attractive, and fun to browse. (I especially like being able to sort gemstone beads by color.) I have found your products to be good quality items and have never been disappointed when I open my package, and I've always been pleasantly surprised at how quickly my orders arrive. I appreciate the personal touch of getting letters and e-mails signed by a real person. The addition of your Design Gallery with its eye-popping and inspiring pieces ensures that I am spending waaay too much time looking at your website. Your commitment to good customer service and quality is obvious and it is a pleasure to do business with you. Thanks and best wishes!

Holly D.

I first discovered you in a Bead & Button Magazine, and have been purchasing beads from you for over a year now. Your beads are by far the best quality I have found, as well as your service being just the greatest. I tell all of my beading friends to buy from Lima Beads. Keep up the great quality and superb customer service.

Sandy S.
Garden City, MI

Yesterday I got notice of your shop by an advert of "beadingdaily" summersavings.
What a wonderful and beautiful website this is. Full of inspiration, that lets me wish my purse is as big as my imagination of what to do with all these wonderful items.
I'm pretty sure to "meet" you soon as a customer :-))

Kerstin W.

Awesome quality (again) with my order. Thanks Lima!

I received my first order in record-breaking time and am very happy with the items. I found your site by chance just searching for blue tiger's eye and when I saw items that I had never seen or knew existed, I took a chance and am thrilled I did. We are having a beading/jewelry (and wine)party in July and will have ball with this. Thanks so much

Wenche B.
Mo i Rana, Norway

I just unpacked my first order from Lima Beads and I am so pleased! I've had bad luck buying gemstone beads through the Internet before, because what I get isn't always what I saw in the picture. But your product came just as advertised. Your photographs are excellent and accurate.
I will be ordering again soon. Thank you!

Laurie L.
Keller, TX

What do I think? I think this could become a nasty addiction! Is there such a thing as Lima-holics anonymous?? I find it best to just stay away from your website - but it is oh, so hard to do. Just hope I don't find myself too deeply in debt.
In other words your product and website and service are irresistable.

Barbara G.
Hagensborg, BC

I received my first shipment yesterday from Lima Beads and I couldn't be happier. The quality of the beads is fantastic and the selection on your website is amazing. I've bought beads from other sources in the past but Lima Beads surpasses them in quality by leaps and bounds. Lima Beads is now my number one choice for gemstone beads. I can't wait to start making beautiful creations from all these beautiful gems.

Thanks for the rapid shipment of my order. I was able to complete a very important project & the customer was very happy with it. Is the item acorn leaves 4 hole connector 30 x 12 mm flat or curved? A friend saw it and wants to make a bracelet with it. I would also like to see more bracelet products so i can round out my jewelry making experiences. Love the prices also.

Jo Anne P.

This is the by far the best shopping site on the internet. It is exciting for customers, drawing you back again and again. Combine that with the excellent value and the wonderful customer service and you have a sight that cannot be beat. I manage an online bookstore and told my boss to look at your site as an example of a web store that keeps customers coming back.

I received my order today and I must say I was so surprised to get them so quickly, all the way from USA to Australia in such a short time. Thank-you so much, you make it so personal, I am thrilled with the gemstones and must thank you also for the lovely "freebies" I won in the Easter egg search.

I can't remember if I've already sent this feedback in the past, but here goes again--your business is simply the best! I think people spend much more time criticizing the bad instead of commending those that make life a little more pleasant. I can't think of a better experience online or in the flesh than purchasing from Lima Beads. Your customer service is amazing and the commitment you have to your customers is truly obvious. And I won't even get started on how great your beads are! I recommend you to everyone (even though they don't bead!) I know. Please keep doing your magic--this is not just shopping--it's like being with friends and family!

Michelle S.

I have just received my sixth order from Lima Beads. They have an enormous product selection, and product availability.

I love your web site, and all of the fun ways you get people to come and visit regularly! I look forward to the lunch deals every Tuesday - even if I don't buy anything from them, they spark my interest and creativity and may lead me to look at something else on your site. I'm a teacher and this week is my spring break. I'm using the time off to brainstorm some projects and I'm about to put in my first order from Lima Beads! Thanks :-)

Laura C.
Cumming, GA

I have never had so much fun going through an online bead store ever. Y'all's love for what you do is evident no matter where you go in the store! The bead machine is a fantastic idea. I'm hooked on the too. I haven't ordered yet, but it's only because I haven't been able to decide out of everything you offer what I want first. Such a wonderful problem!!!!!

hello...just receive my order today and i just LOVE the australian chrysoprase beads! These beads are such a rich delicious green with matrix! Copper findings enhance the beauty of green stones! The quality of the stones and the prices are unbeatable!

Jerry C.

Big Green is fun and I have saved a lot of money on the beads I have purchased. I have also received complements or have been asked where I have gotten such neat beads for my jewelry designs and I tell them to check out Lima Beads. I know some of my friends have shopped here after I mentioned the name and they too were satisfied with their purchases.

Brenda M.

You probably know how much I love your lunch specials by my orders, but I have to tell you anyway . . . I LOVE THE LUNCH SPECIALS! Your site is so awesome and your customer service is the best, bar none. I recommend you to all of my beading friends. Keep up the great work!

Sherry L.

I received my vintaj today from Lima Beads. I am a first time buyer and I can guarantee you I will be a return buyer over and over! The pieces are beautiful and the shipping time on my order was absolutely amazing! I am telling all my beading buddies about your website! Thank you so much.

Joyce R.
Pekin, IL

I always enjoy shopping your website--it's easy to find what I want, the prices are reasonable, and I like that you offer half strands. Plus, the site is just so pretty and fresh looking. Oh, and free shipping--that's great too!

Deirdre K.
Austin, TX

I LOVE this shop!!! I know my lack of ordering doesn't prove that, but I do love it. My wishlist for the website would be a gallery of designs. Sometimes, we need an inspiration, particularly when it comes to color combination. To actually see a visual of pieces created with some of your fresh pick combo's would be wonderful.
Just food for thought and thanks for Lima Beads!

Wakeeta R.

I love Lima Beads. I visit the site at least twice a week. Your Fresh Picks inspire me to make some of my most successful pieces of jewelry. So I wanted to say a big thanks, and keep up the great work. I also like your "shop by color" option. It really helps me to find the stones I need for my project.

Suzanne W.
Land O Lakes, FL

HI, I love they way you have a size chart, so I can actually see the true size of the beads! Great Idea. Nice selections too!

Rebecca S.

You have the most beautiful beads! and at affordable prices! I have bought beads from other vendors at cheaper prices and got cheap looking beads. I have a certain quality and high standards in the jewelry work that I do, and I have always been happy with the beads you send to me. Thank you

Charlene W.
LaPlata, MD

I love the quality of your merchandise, the personalized customer service, the quick shipping, great packaging. I love fresh picks. At first I was afraid to create, now I can't stop. I love to get to know you as people, through the daily blogs. My favorite items are all the beautiful pearls. I am addicted!!! Thank you

I just received my second order from you guys and I just cannot say enough good things about your company!

Ivy Q.
Kingston, NY

My 1st shipment arrived a few days ago and everything was better than I have imagined them to be! I am quite surprised and pleased with all the beads. I love how they are packaged so nicely with the little numbers labeled on them that corresponds with the numbers and stone names on the slip. I am really forgetful sometimes with the names of stones and it's nice having a little reference to go back to. Thanks again Lima Beads!

Lily A.
Surrey, British Columbia

I've received the beads I ordered from your shop and I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love them! Thanks for your service and the extremely fast shipping (expected to arrive 1-3 weeks and after only 4 days I've received the package!). You will be seeing me again, shopping for beads! Thanks.

Monique D.

Thank you for creating such a fun and creative website. I am really impressed. Not only are your gemstome beads the best that I have found but I know that what I see on the website and order is what I'll receive. Beautiful! Keep up the great work.

Hi, I recieved your shipment a few days ago and like to tell you I am delighted. Made already a whole bunch of very nice Necklaces and Earrings and showed them to some of my customers and gat great feed back.
Thank you

Barbara W.
Robb, Alberta

I just wanted to tell you that I liked reading your blog. I live about an hour away from A-squared and graduated from U-M's art school in 1980. A longtime artist and graphic designer, I found beading about 7 years ago, and often find it hard to get back to my "day" job once I'm beading...I can really get lost in it. I too dislike the stringing part...I love the collecting part, which I guess is good news for you folks and bad news for my paypal account! Anyway, we get back to all the games (my husband is an alum as well) and love Ann Arbor, so GO Blue and congratulations on the new baby and your wonderful business.

Shelee B.

Your website is a blast! I shop it just because it's fun, whether I'm in the market for buying or not. The product is superior.

Excellent web site! I wasn't even intending to look at beads today, but, received the nice email from Kevin - with a discount coupon - and decided to browse. What a selection of gorgeous gemstones! Great variety and, if what I receive is anything close to what is shown, I will be very happy. I was looking for some new "inspiration" and you provided it. Thank you very much.

Nora P.
Cave Junction, OR

Dear Lima,
I just wanted to let you know how pleased I was with my first order! Usually when I order any kind of gemstones the online photos are a lot better looking than what I get. Your gemstones were just the opposite. They are gorgeous and I feel a great value for the price! They look as beautiful in person as on your website.I am going to recomend you to my bead addicted friends.I will continue to order from you guys, you're awesome!
p.s. love your website and your green machine!

Patricia S.

I looked for your hours so I could phone you when you're open. No listing for such. It would help to have it right by your phone #, along with your time zone. Thanks

I just received my 1st shipment today & I was so impressed! I thought for the price, if the quality was at least average, I didnt break the bank. I cannot believe how gorgeous these beads are. I am placing another order today! Thank you Thank you Thank you

Sherry S.
Salisbury, NC

Wow!!!! I have never seen the assortment and selection at any other bead supplier! I placed my first order, rec'd it within 3 days and was more than surprised by the quality and true definition that was in each individual piece. It felt like Christmas! Thank-You so much for your quality, shipping promise (that was indeed as promised!) and the wonderful assortment that you provide all under one roof! You make my job ALOT easier.

Traci M.
Omak, WA

I have ordered from your company two times and about to send a third order. I can't say a enough about your beads so many beautiful shapes and colors to choose from. Your shipping is fast and packs so well. The no shipping with a $40.00 order is a great perk. I have told several of my friends that are beaders about your website. Thanks again for your company. I will continue to place orders in the future.
Thanks

Carolyn J.

Hi, I have been looking for 6mm Imperial Jasper round beads, and no one seems to have them. If you ever get any in stock, please send me an email. By the way, my last order of Picture Jasper round beads was really nice. I ordered some from another seller, and the quality was terrible. I ended up throwing most of them away. Your quality is always top notch. Thank you so much.

Edna R.
Graham, NC

Thank you-I got my order FAST
Love your web site-easy to get around and it's great that the items show up on the order page-also that the bags are maked with numbers so I know what I bought.
A lot of care and love went into your business and it shows
Glad I found you

Caprice C.
Huachuca City, AZ

Wow! I received more personal service on my $42.00 order with Lima Beads than I do when I spend $2000 on orders with other companies. Quality is up there too! ... [The competition] could learn a thing or two from Lima.

Cheri G.
Sacramento, CA

I have always thought that these feedbacks were just made up by companies, that is until I found myself writing this feedback! The Irony!
I absolutely love your collections, you definitely set the bar for what a company should have, quality and quantity! You have yet to let me down and my company loves you! show off! :)

Jennifer C.
Hackensack, NJ

I just want you to know how much I enjoy your beads. I bought some Marbled Coffee Jasper from another company under another name and then I bought some from you and I almost throw the other away. Your beads were polished to a great shine and the others were so dull I hated to put them side by side. I will buy my beads from you from now on and you have a great selection. Keep up the great work.

Annette M.
Jones, OK

After recently receiving orders from a few of your competition and being very disappointed with the quality, I just wanted to let you know that my order from you came today. The quality of the gemstones was excellent. I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the expediency and quality of order. I have been a customer for a few years and will continue to be.
Thank you very much.

Lynda R.

Thank you so much! My pearls arrived so quickly and they are really beautiful. I took your advice about Wild Orchid and they are such a lovely colour, I am really, really pleased. Thank you.

I live in Western Australia and have recently received a small order I placed with you. I have to say I was very impressed with the prompt delivery and the quality of the beads I received, I will have absolutely no hesitation in placing another order with Lima Beads. Many thanks and Cheers.

I have ordered several times from your website and have been pleased every time with my orders,you represent your products well and I have not been disappointed with what I have ordered, unlike some other on line companies where I have ordered something and the beads were not what I was expecting

Thanks for the big photos and the size comparisons. I know how big a mm is, but it helps to see them next to a ruler and the coins too!

Love the new sizing chart and photo enlargement feature. Your selections are fantastic. I might add that your descriptions and wording in your emails, sure get my attention. Very clever.

LOVE the new photos! It is nice to have a close up to see the true character of the stone. Suggestion: Another bit of useful information would be the approximate hole size in the bead.

I wish I had found your site sooner! What an amazing selection of quality gemstones! Super fast shipping too. I am so pleased and will shop with you again! I am spreading the word about your site.... Thank you!

I received my order today and I was blown away by the size and quality of the pendants that I ordered! I most definitely will be ordering more - everyone I know wants to have at least one!

Wow! Love the site. The option to shop by shape was a fabulous time saver. Thanks for the acurate stone identification and explanation of "coloring" natural stones.

Thank you for having such a wonderful website! It is so user friendly. I love your feature that instantly adds to the bag. I have been making jewelry for quite a while and I am so glad that I discovered your site. Your stones are of a fantastic quality and so are your prices! I am a very happy repeat customer and will continue to be. Thank you for making my life a little easier!

I just received my first order from Lima Beads. I was intrigued by your wood and copper ad and checked it out. What I received was absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to design something with it. Not only was the product excellent but the quickness of the order as well. I think I placed the order on Monday (from Indiana) and it is Wednesday and I received it today!! I will definitely order again. Thanks for a great website!!

I love your site and your bead selection. I love the color ideas... But I'd like to suggest one thing. Picture of the beads should be the picture of the whole strand, not the fraction of it. If you will have this kind of picture with possibility to maximize it, it will be great and will help a lot to make a selection. Thanks.

I just received my first order from you and I absolutely LOVE these beads! My 5 year old daughter helped me open the package and I think she liked them almost as much as I did. I'm trying to share my beading hobby with her, but I'm not so sure I'm willing to share these particular beads. I only ordered 1/2 strands for much of this order since I wasn't sure about color and quality - guess I'll just have to order more now!

Michelle G.

I find your instant add-to-bag feature very helpful. It's a nice upgrade to your already well designed and highly user-friendly site. I'm so pleased that you have added copper and wood to your selections. I hope you add more in these lines, expecially copper clasps, which can be hard to find. And how about items in some other hard-to-find metals, such as bronze and brass? I like the more organic and less blingy feel these metals give to my jewelry pieces.

Jeanine C.

Love the instant shopping bag! And I really like that most things come in half strands - easy on the budget, and easier to try new things.

i just wanted to say that i was very satisfied with my bead purchase. the beads were beautiful. i had never bought beads online before and liked the fast and free shipping as well as the 10% off coupon i recieved with my order. i will continue to order beads from this company..very happy thankyou

Kelly L.

Thank You! I receved my order and have to say you do a wonderful job of representing your product. Everything was in great condition and excactly as it looked on your website. Your customer service is also wonderful. The handwritten note on my order let me know I was dealing with real people who cared about my order and not just a mass production site.

Just found your website this morning on a google search. WOW! Great website design - great photos - love the instant add to cart - only problem is too many gorgeous items to choose from and stay within my budget!! Can't wait to finalize my first order and then receive the beads!

Gilannie D.

I LOVE Lima Beads!! I have purchased gemstones at least half a dozen times, and have never been disappointed in the quality. The shipping is super fast, prices are great and Lima Beads is the only place I get my gemstones.

Kristina H.

Both my daughter (Sandra H. in Connecticut) and I (in England) purchase your beads. I have tried many sites but have found the quality of your beads far superior to any other in the USA and England. When your beads arrive I am so happy because I know I just won't be disappointed and can't wait to get beading.

Diane M.

your site is so easy to get around. ive been looking for a couple of gemstone carriers for a new line im working on. your site by far has been the easiest to find what im looking for. i will return to you :)

Just wanted to let you folks know that your beads are by far the best quality I have ever purchased online!! Absolutely gorgeous-top quality! You also got the order to me within a week and I live overseas on a military base! Thank you!

I think now I have all I need for my holiday and birthday gifts! Stringing gemstones and pearls is so much fun and even better when I know I can get superb/quality materials from you! Thanks for servicing my orders expeditiously---you do a great job accurately and quickly fulfilling the orders! I enjoy your website, probably too much, since it is my first choice of websites for purchasing gemstones! Why---the presentation of gemstones makes the selection so easy---Keep up the good work!

I LOVE the instant purchasing. Please continue and expand it. No wonder you're my favorite site for beads, you keep making it easier and easier to spend my money. You guys are the best!

I recently placed an order and received it within 3 days- which I was extremely happy about (especially because I selected the free shipping). That was my first time ordering beads online, so I wasn't sure what to expect...but all the gemstrands were top- notch and the package for shipping very professional and secure. I work at a great bead store, but there are still items (i.e. unusual semi- precious gem strands) that we get only infrequently. So your site piqued my interest right off the bat.

Rachel P.
Tonawanda, NY

I am very pleased with my purchase! Very fast shipping. And because many of my beads were similar to each other, having the packages identified was very important. And I love the fact that I can purchase half strands; it gives me a chance to check out the item without a major investment. And if I love the beads (which I do), I'll be more likely to order a full strand next time. Thanks!

Jill C.

I wanted to let you all know, that I think Lima Beads is awesome! Your service is excellent, your shipping is speedy fast, and your selection is excellent. Everytime I receive my beads from you they are more beautiful than I thought they would be, and I'm always so impressed with the quality! Keep up the great work! I'll be back! Thank you so much!

I recently received my second order from you....I want to tell you how exquisite the Labradorite was....and how lovely the other stones were. The quality is excellent and your prices are in keeping with other bead markets, often lower infact. Thank you......

Shirly E.

Wow! My order came today and the beads are beautiful! We (my daughters and I) have recently begun aa jewelry business and have tried several companies online. Your merchandise and your website are BY FAR the best we have seen. We look forward to working with you.

Pam C.

Just got my mookaite beads and they are absolutely beautiful! I created a very simple necklace and have received more comments then on any other piece I've made in the past - the stones are so unusual, everyone keeps asking me where I got them. Thanks!

Clare C.

I want to thank Limabeads for the incredible news that I received about being the winner of the drawing! I've always wanted to win a shopping spree and it couldn't have come at a better time! I'm a Ph.D candidate so my funds are limited. My assistantship will be ending on Sept. 30th so I was concerned about being able to order beads in the future. Anyway, you just don't know how much the $500 shopping spree helps!!!!! I love you site and customer service is awesome! I also love the fact that I can give back whenever I place an order. Thanks again, Limabeads!!!!! I sincerely appreciate you!!!!

Talicia S.

I just wanted to tell you all how pleased I was with my order. I have always loved the gemstones that I have gotten from you in the past, and your pearls really exceeded my expectations. They were just lovely. Your prices were very good too. I can't wait until you have another sale. I ordered what I thought was a good order, but now I wish that I had ordered twice as much! I absolutely was so pleased I wanted to tell everyone how pretty they were, and I can't wait to get them made up in necklaces.

I look forward to my next order with Lima Beads. I recently have been "turned on" to gemstones and in particular, different sorts of Jasper. My first order is all used up, making necklaces for a local arts and crafts festival here in Ketchikan, called the Blueberry Festival.
I love your website and how your beads are organized by color, size, shape and alphabet, with great pictures. I have learned a lot by just browsing through your bead selections.

I just placed my first order . It came way sooner than I ever expected it. I was so impressed. Everything is beautiful, the order was correct. That is something that is a rarity today. I am not one that likes to order on line but I love Lima Beads and will order again. Thank you for providing an excellant service.

Just wanted you to know....I LOVE LOVE LOVE your products. I have yet to open anything I've ordered from you that doesn't make me go ohhhh and awwwww. I got two rather large orders from you on Saturday and fell in love immediately with the African Opals so I just ordered some more. Your prices are reasonable and your quality can't be beat!

Dory O.

Dear Lima Beads, I was THRILLED when my package arrived today. Your prices were about 10% higher than the place I usually buy from, but I decided to give you a try anyway. It was worth it! The quality is twice as nice as what I've gotten from other online shops and your selection is killer! Please keep doing what you're doing and THANK YOU for the surprise in my order.

Sonya M.

I received my first order from you today - and WOW the Pietersite Thin Pillow is MAGNIFICENT!!! I absolutely love it. The color, polish, depth and feel of the stone is beyond my expectations. Thank you so much. By the way, I ordered some more. Keep up the great work.

The order arrived today. I appreciate the prompt delivery, and the quality of the beads. Particularly I appreciate the fact that you provide the actual size on the beads on the website. I have purchased from other online businesses, and have been disappointed to find that the beads as shown on the website look larger than they really are. I am impressed with your service,and will definitely buy from you again. Thanks.

I received my beads today. I must tell you that I am thrilled with the quality. I have been beading jewelry for years and quit internet ordering because I was always disappointed in the quality of the beads. They were beyond disappointing. You ship fast, pack great and the quality of the beads I received exceeded my greatest expectation. So, thank you so much. I will definitely be a return customer.

I am writing to inform Lima Beads of my SHEER DELIGHT with your mail order service. Until a week ago, I had never heard of Lima Beads. I had always ordered from _______ at ________.com. Wow, how that will change. I have NEVER gotten my order only 2 days after I placed it, however, until now! I also commend you are your wonderful customer service. Nothing left to say except 'Well Done.' I look forward to ordering in the future.

Deanna K.

Dear Lima Beads, I am writing you to let you know how I feel about your service. I think its GREAT! You ship out when you say you will and always deliver great results. I have done business with other on line bead dealers and none come close to the customer satisfaction you deliver. Great Job!
