I used to have this but I sold it on ebay for peanuts! Why is it that I never get many bidders on ebay? I take clear close photos and put detailed titles and descriptions but still my buyers always walk away with absolute bargains! But when it is me who is the bidder the item ends up really expensive!!

So, a little disappointed in Trollbeads at the Commons... I want to make them my primary place to buy Trollbeads because there are a lot of advantages, such as saving gas! I ordered a trollbead coin, and a day or so after they received the order it was shipped out a day or so after. I ordered another bead, this time a conch glass bead. I got the email saying they received my order, but I noticed that there was no second email stating that it had been shipped. I sent a few emails after 7 days with no notice and I finally got a reply 3 days later. They said they were going to ship it out tomorrow, 11 days after I placed my order. *shrugs*
If I still end up getting the bead (I sent them an email to cancel my order) it will have taken at least 2 weeks from Massachusetts to California. Whatevs! Just would like to know why this order took twice as long compared to my other one.

I ordered from them as well, actually I ordered twice. I order a jellyfish charm, thinking I had selected two (one for my daughter as well) but had only ordered one. So the next morning I ordered the 2nd. I got shipping confirmation for the 1st the next day but have heard nothing at all about the second so far.. odd. I think some of these stores that are also brick and mortar stores are not good at juggling both.

Still waiting on my Bagznbeadz order! No shipping confirmation and it was placed on the 24th. They stated on Facebook that they would be allowed to carry Pandora beads (owner says this I assume) if they could clear out more trollbeads so they had another sale, that one being 30% off. Glutton for punishment that I am, I ordered a couple from that sale too. :sweatdrop:

That is too bad about the Commons. I've had excellent service from them. I do know that they are preparing for a physical move, so maybe that is why they haven't been on the ball?

LindaP-I really hope things go good for you with the BagnBeads!

I had just emailed them, you better give Trollbeads At The Commons a call, They did move yesterday, but you might want to let them know that oyu haven't received your bead yet!

The Commons did move yesterday, which I TOTALLY understand. Strange thing is, I ordered this bead 11 days ago, and they are shipping it out now? Strange. They said it got lost in the move, and they apologised... Things happen, its just that the first time I ordered, it arrived WAY faster. I am going to order from them one more time, I just hope it was a fluke! :) I like them.

Thanks! I posted on their Facebook page since my email has not been responded to.

I ordered some beads from Perlen in Denmark on the same day and have already received them, yet as far as I know the beadznbagz order hasn't even shipped.

Boy this has been a tough month... It doesn't look like I am going to be able to participate in the trunk show... My SO and I recently made a big purchase that used up all of my savings, and I still owe him a bit of money. Sigh.
I asked my SO for a Trollbead for Valentine's Day, hopefully that will work out! His parents definitely bought me a Trollbead for my birthday, so that works.
But no trunk show for me, unless by some miracel i find a little exta money somewhere, which is kinda frustrating, but there will be more trunkshows!

Welp I found a miracle, and I was able to participate in my first trunk show! I sold a piece of jewelry on my Bonanza, which freed me up to buy some beads. PLUS, I asked my SO to buy me a bead for Valentine's Day. He chose one that he liked out of my Trollbeads catalog, and told me he would buy that one for me. So, with the free bead and him buying one of them for me, it ends up I pay about $70. I was pretty happy about that!
So I had an AWESOME time looking. Before I knew it, I had to get going!
I chose 3 glass beads and one silver. I was hoping for a mermaid, but in all honesty, the one mermaid they had there didn't look good and I skipped on it. I was kinda disappointed, because I knew for sure I wanted a mermaid bead, but next time.
Wow what a slection they had! The rep there was super nice, they had drinks and snakcs for everyone. I didn't want to leave!
My bracelet is almost full now. I took my frog prince bead off and I found a pretty silver chain that has a small link so I can slide however many Trollbeads I want on it. I have him hanging on that now... He just doesn't go with any of my other glass beads... the shade of green that they used for his bead does not fit in with any of the ones I was choosing for my bracelet. Actually, once I took him off, my bracelet looked better! So i shall wear him as a pendant. :)
Here is a pic of what I have now:

I bought the azure bubbles, the sea urchin, the silver mountain, and the Three In One (that's the one my SO chose). I realize now how imperative it is to choose the beads in person! Wow! The azure bubbles that were avaialble were so very different from each other. That is a bead that I can buy several versions of, and is definitey going to be a favorite. The Sea Urchin was not so bad in terms of variability between them, but nonetheless I found the one I liked the most. When I looked at Silver Mountain in the catalog, it looked dull to me. The rep suggested it to go with my other beachy beads, and she picked a real beauty! When I saw Silver Mountain in person, it was totally gorgeous and once again, it made the huge difference of choosing a bead in person.
When I compared my Florence bead to the ones they had, I ended up not liking mine haha! I still like it, but the ones they had were defintiely different.
So I think from now on, I will have to buy my glass in person. The silvers I can buy online, more or less.
