Haha! You must be talking about Al*Expr*ss, which is a swear word on this site! I order all sorts from them, socks, golf spikes, foam tape, daubers, Tsukineko legit inks, and other legit and original stamps, tools, and dies. I stay away from stuff I recognise as genuine USA designs. Most of their top sellers are on Amazon, too. One good thing is they don't charge USA rip-off international shipping rates, so that's why I like them and buy from them.

No I know about AL*Exp*ss
Its a company that sells Dies. K*K*R*osa. Since the name was asterisk out in my original post, I'm guessing they are a no go company ordering from.

Oh, I see. I've never heard of that company before, so I did a little research. I guessed the vowels where you put the stars and found the site. You can't tell where it's physically located. There are pointers to France in the T&C's, Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore on FB, and even a Manhattan phone number, and one single email address. They've got 67,000 followers on Pinterest, though, lol! If SCS has blacklisted it, they must've had their reasons.

OK. I've looked at the product lines a little more closely now, and it's definitely carrying some Ali** stuff, rebadged US products, and some original products. The English across the site is also wildly different in fluency, lol. I'd hesitate to buy, esp with the SCS *** rating, lol!

I just looked into that company yesterday. Reviews run the gamut of good to really bad and a consumer group says to be aware that some items are knock-offs and there are no returns. It sounds like they are based in China and ship exclusively from there.

Thank you for your research. As far as I got was looking at reviews I was interested in one die. Saw a post on Lets Make Cards FB page. I have searched high and low to find who makes the die I am interested in. Even posted in thread "who makes this stamp", but no one has responded.

Leslie, I know nothing about this company. I saw your post on the who makes this stamp. Basically this die is making a Flap Fold Card. There are several tutorials available to make this card or something similar without that specific die. Here is one from Connie Stewart that is close and it may help you: https://simplysimplestamping.com/die...lap-fold-card/
