[@shellybeals2806]

Thank you for this amazing bead box it is perfect in every way possible, you make beading possible for everyone ❣️Just received my March BBB and it is absolutely gorgeous❣️❣️❣️I have been getting the box for over 3 years now and it is the BEST PRICE, BEADS AND FINDINGS❣️❣️❣️

[@viviankirkham1677]

Loving the way it’s put together and the beads in it. Smart thinking..thankyou.

[@ladyjustice7]

Absolutely love getting my Bargain Bead Box each month.

[@carriesunshine5742]

I agree you don't need a fancy box the beads are more important

[@spts0830]

Love your boxes. I'm a long time subscribe and they just keep getting better. Love all the gemstones!

[@sandieross2923]

Thank you for always putting your customers first. I’m new to the box/bag but I have heard only great things about the quality of the product and your customer service.

[@kimpoole650]

I love these little weekly info bits. Thanks for having the best bead box out there. Who needs a box anyway!

[@SassyCindy]

Great story and smart to do the bubble mailer. Thanks for the history.

[@carolsimas1786]

I’ve wondered why it is called a box, thanks for telling the story. Love your videos.

[@Wendy-WackyWomanCreations]

Love the history. Yes, bubble mailer and more beads, or findings and boxes can be very wasteful. Either way, it's an amazing deal. I actually like dumping the bag.

[@SparkleByMonica]

Thanks for the sparkly insight! Congratulations on your success since implementing the subscription!

[@beadboxbargains]

Thank you, Monica!

Love this answer and love being a part of this community! I am once again creating after a serious fall down 11 steps and two years of recovery from a head trauma! I am in my happy place again! Thank you Lauren!💜

[@beadboxbargains]

Oh my, so glad to hear you're recovering! Best wishes on your continued healing-- we are privileged to be part of your beading journey!

[@chericrow2507]

This month’s bag of goodies is just the best. I love the antique cooper and the beads are gorgeous!! Thank you!

[@beadboxbargains]

I’m so glad you’re enjoying March’s beads! 💕 Thank you so much for being a member!!

[@danceexpressions7436]

Hi Lauren, thx for the info on the box history. Also, I want you to know I love the bags you put together. I just received Marchs "unbagging". OMG!!! TY! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! -Denise

[@beadboxbargains]

Thanks so much, Denise! I’m thrilled to hear you’re enjoying March’s beads! 💕 -Lauren

[@charliefarrar7149]

So glad you went with the bag. I have subscribed to other services that have the fancy boxes. I always thought it was a waste to spend all that money on a box I was going to throw away in the end.

[@hollylowery26]

Works well for me. I am surprised others haven't gotten rid of using a box. Beads are so much better!

[@coffeetime1]

I'm perfectly fine that it doesn't come in a box. I would just throw it away anyway. I love the little bag it comes in because I reuse it. The bubble mailer is great for me because it fits well in my mailbox. You have the BEST subscription box IMO!

[@beadboxbargains]

That means so much to hear!! Thank you! I’m so glad the mailer works out well for you too. 💕

[@TwistedAnomalyArts]

I think it was a smart move as well. I think we all would rather have the contents, not the box. I'm really happy with what was included this month. Ya'll are awesome and I've enjoyed getting the shipments, thank you 😊

[@beadboxbargains]

Thank you so much for the encouraging words! 💕 I’m so glad you’re enjoying March’s beads. Thanks for being a member!!

[@joycelongo2123]

Thank you for not putting them in another box.

[@jackieblue3938]

A big thanks to those ladies for giving you the idea. I only started in May of last year, but I've been so happy with everything! A big thanks to you, as well ❤

[@beadboxbargains]

That makes me so happy to hear! Thank you so much for the kind words, and for your membership! I can't tell you how much I appreciate your trust in me to pick out bargains each month. I couldn't do this without you!

[@libbydearing2374]

I love these little snippets of information 😃.

[@annas-g166]

I'm more than happy with it coming in a bag. I live in the UK and if it came in a box it'd cost too much for me like other subscriptions. Bargain bead box is the only subscription box I can afford from America and we don't have many here in the UK that are as good or worth it 😊

[@jeneaneroot6784]

Thanks for the great story and since 2015 history. ❤

[@TRMURRAYNY]

Great story on the origins of BBB subs. I've been subscribing since February 2021 and have been very happy ever since.

[@cathymike7559]

I'm so happy they started your monthly kits. And I just love this months the beads are just beautiful & love the finding color choice thank you so much Lauren!

[@beadboxbargains]

You are so welcome, Cathy! Thank you so much for your membership and encouraging words! I'm so glad you're loving your March beads!

[@kathyberger6650]

Much rather have the focus on the beads. Hands down! Thanks for all you do!! ❤

[@taniadelossantos3919]

Extremely fair.

[@rosalindalozano233]

Excellent!!

[@annettebliss]

I don't mind the packaging but I LOVE the beads!!!

[@kristine1028]

I love that story!😊

[@Hope-uf9yd]

As a new subscriber, I would love it if you have some photos you could share of the first boxes.

[@beadboxbargains]

Ooh that would be fun! I’ll have to dig some of the early ones up. The VERY first one wasn’t themed! It was mostly a cache of gemstones I found at an incredible deal. :) I decided to do the themes a month or so later. The more we grew, the more bulk buys I was able to secure & the higher value the box became. I am so thankful for all our subscribers who have made this box possible for the last nine years! Thank you so much for joining us- I appreciate you!

[@phyllishedge3645]

[@WellISaidIt]

Could you please recheck your shipping options. I live in the UK and would love to order from you but the shipping is crazy money. starting is around $19. I just recently bought $60 worth of Czech fire polished beads from artbeads and it only cost me $5.99 in shipping. I don't understand why more bead shops in the states can't do reasonable priced shipping to the UK. Would love to get a response to this.

[@beadboxbargains]

Shipping to the UK should be calculated at $9.98 for our subscription service! We are able to offer discounted shipping on the bead box itself due to a special high-volume program that only applies to box purchases. International shipping from the Bead Box Bargains sister store is set to calculate actual cost-- we don't charge anything extra above what the carriers charge us (and if the calculator is off for some reason, we will refund any overages back to you, or cover any shortages ourselves). We also don't build extra shipping costs into our individual bead prices like some vendors do. Because of the way international shipping is priced by the carriers, larger orders are going to be much more cost-effective to ship. We use the most cost-effective tracked service we can find, since we want to be able to ensure that our customers receive their beads. I wish there a was a cheaper reliable service out there! We've tried so many, and just aren't happy with the services that don't include door-to-door tracking. We will only ever charge you actual cost. Hope this helps!

I would be happy just to recieve my ‘box’ 😢. Do you think it will take much longer for my beads to arrive Denmark? I can’t wait much longer, I’m so excited. Lene/🇩🇰

[@beadboxbargains]

International shipping can take almost a month sometimes. 🥲 Hopefully it won’t be that long, but 2-4 weeks has become the new average for any kind of affordable international shipping, it seems. Your box is on its way and we are committed to making sure you receive it! 💕
