The Ton

[Reddyisco]

Good afternoon, all,

Has anyone ever heard of an online stamp store called 'The ton'? I happened across them the other day and they have some beautiful stamps.


When I created an account they sent me an email confirming my account and my anti virus software said they might be a fraudulent company?


Anyone heard anything?


TIA

I have ordered from them once and had no problem, but I think I might have checked out as a guest, so I don't remember the email situation.

I will say that sometimes my email provider (NOT my antivirus) flags something not just as spam but gives a specific warning that the sender failed their verification checks or something. Typically, it's been for something I was expecting, like an order confirmation email, so as long as I was expecting the email, I click the option to mark the sender as safe.

Just beautiful. I love how all the stamps I looked at had sample cards. I may get one of the huge one-word sentiments.

Ah, enabling. Isn't that what internet friends are for?

Reddydisco, always better to be safe than sorry. It's not uncommon for anti virus to flag up a 'false positive' though. It can be caused by lots of things from a website- adverts/links to other sites and so on. Sometimes emails can get the flag just because it doesn't clear all the softwares little check boxes. Very often it's perfectly innocent, but always better these days to be wise before the event!

I have heard of them. Drooled over them a lot !!! Love their styles . Ordered a few stamps too. No problems. Heard they don't have sales though....

Not sure if I checked out as a guest or if I registered with them or not. But I did order from them about a month or two ago. I was perusing through Pinterest as I always do and came across a card that I just fell in love with so of course I just HAD to get the set. I actually bought 4 sets and really like them. I plan on getting a few more sets in the future. I got the "Holiday Bows" (it's so different than any other stamps I've ever seen), "Holiday Lyrics", "Scripty Holiday Greetings" and "From Ours" mini set.

I have ordered from them multiple times and have been very happy!

I have ordered many times from them. Effie, the owner, is wonderful to deal with and they ship fast, and is a very reputable stamp company!
