... well the subject says it... where do you buy it?
I can only find it at SP. Doesn't have to be in Uk but preferably within EU.

oh, Eva, too bad you didn't get them with your labels - Elements sells them.

I am interested as well. Still want to do something with them, but they are quite expensive at SP.

I saw they had them but 1lb at $34.55 shipping is too much.

Maybe we should do a co op later on?

hey, Eva, I order from there often and actually need some labels soon. I can double check but I think a flat rate box up to 4lbs ships anywhere in the world for $14 and the shipping to me is fairly low, especially since I'll be ordering things anyway. Also, Tammy sent me some beads as a sample - do you want me to try them out for you and report back or are they all pretty much the same?

I didn't know what they were and a quick google search gave me this result in the UK, wholesale, 5kg...

Thanks HBP.
Your shipping sounds very reasonable. No need getting them for me since I have to work out a supplier anyway. I'll contact them.
I'm getting the $34.55 shipping when I place the 1 lb in the basket at their site, no other choices for me.

Thanks Andy.
 I'm glad there is another place. Very expensive though and shipping on top of that.

Hi Eva, I only looked on the first result..

These guys sell 1kg, but it's true we'll always be paying a lot more than in the US... It can be frustrating at times!...

Where are you? Perhaps France or Germany does them cheaper, at least for shipping?

I've started looking for supplies in other countries than the UK, and I use Google translate to translate the words I don't know and then do a search.  It's laborious, but I found good and cheaper suppliers in France and Germany.  Well, it's just an idea...

Wow Andy how do you get all those hits?!   Happy Bounce
I've been at this for 3 days and only get SP. I get hits but that's for scented beads. Have even searched in other languages and so on but got nothing.

edit -----------   oh, first thought the last one was within EU. Smiley

I use google in the UK (so it's co.uk) and I used 'aroma beads soap' for the search...

Like I said, I didn't know what they were and thought they were for soaps!  :mwaha:
