There are a lot of great online stamping stores out there. I like Addicted to Rubber Stamps because it's easy to search for what you want. Which ones do you like and why?

ktcrafts is not one of my favorite stores, having trouble with a wishblade disc that was messed up, and I had to wait a week for her to even ship it and then another week for the wrong thing to get to me.
My favorite seller is on ebay, The Perfect Stamp Store. Very fast shipping, and a good supply of stuff.
Another vote for Frantic Stamper. Gina if you have any suggestions for searching on AddictedtoRubberStamps, I'd love to hear them! It's easy to find the company you want, but I find searching for something specific within that company next to impossible.

You should see my "bookmarks"!!! At least a hundred websites in there. I love to go surfing the web on my rubber surfboard!
A couple of places that I like to buy from are
Eureka Stamps
Rubber Stamp Avenue
Prickley Pear
Ephesians 25 stamps
Cornish Heritage Farms
Whipper Snapper
I usually buy from shops I can physically go to, or I buy on ebay. Ebay is the place to go to grab a bargain, spesh if you want more than one item. I haven't ever bought from an online shop, basically cuz I would have to use my credit card, so I try to steer clear of spending on it.

Oh, I just go to the main page- www.addictedtorubberstamps.com.
Then, I type in what I am looking for. For example, type in snowman. All the snowman stamps come up. I think it's pretty easy.
Good luck!

I should add that other than buying TAC, I generally prefer to go to brick and mortar stores and see things in person. Most TAC things I buy for personal use (or even demo use) I've seen before too!

I love the variety and selection of ATRS, but I have the opposite problem with 'em--I can't always find what I'm looking for! . . . but, they do have great service and fast shipping in their favor with me . . .
It just hit me, now that I think about it, that I very rarely buy stamps online! I buy a TON of embellishments and such online, but I typically only buy stamps when I'm in a b & m store! Go figure!

I am the same way.
My reason:
I love to touch the stamps. I love the feel of the wood and the smell of the rubber. My friends laugh at me because when I am selecting the perfect stamp I always smell the rubber, and if there are more than one of the same image to choose from I will look at each one and pick the one with the best grain on the wood block. Yeah......it's that bad. I love wood mounts.........but they have to be perfect. Sometimes if I cannot find the perfect block, I won't buy the samp at all.
Having said that I have to admit that close to 10% of my stamps were purchased from ATRS. and another 10% were purchased thru SU. But give me a B&M store and set me free.................................

Thank you, Marianne!
I was beginning to think I am a highly unusual freak when it comes to that!
OK, so I don't *smell* the rubbah, LOL!--you made me spew my coffee--BUT, I do love to hold a stamp in my hand--I love the feel of a wood mount, and I scope out the grain of the wood, too!!!!
I'm the same way about patterned papers; I have to touch and feel them before I'll buy them. Some I won't buy cuz I don't like how they feel to the touch! :shock: Geeze. Guess I really am a freak . . .

I have to ask, what is a B&M store? I looked all over the site to find the acronym for it & I am perplexed.
B&M = Brick and Mortar .... as in a real physical store, not just an online one!
Thank you! I was thinking 'ok, I am totally missing something very simple here!' I knew they meant it to mean a physical store or LSS but couldn't think what B&M stood for.
OK, I know I need to get out more but I've NEVER seen an A Muse stamp. Now I am hooked and I need some. It does not appear that I can order from there so...where do I get them?;)
Also, any good sources for stamps for boys, like 12-13 year old range, skateboarders, that sort of thing?

You can definitely order from A Muse! You have to print & fax the order form though. :-)

Forgot to mention - ATRS sells some A Muse stamps.

Have you contacted them by phone or just through emails??
I have order 4 times within the last couple of weeks. I REALLY love their prices and their shipping. And I have Never had a problem with them.
I did have some backorder items. That didn't ship. And I did contact them and within a few day I received them.
KtCrafts has AWESOME stuff!!!! And Customer Service!!
Have you contacted them by phone or just through emails??
I have been in contact with Kelly. They messed up my order, took way longer than it should have to ship it, and now I have to pay to send the wrong item back to them. I will not be buying from them again.
I like B & M stores, but when you live 2 hours from the neaarest one and that is Micheals (the only stamps near) you learn to REALLY love internet shopping!
No Local Stamping - or even Scrapping! - store here, so I spend waaaaay too much online.
I *love* Rocky Mountain Hobbies. They carry acrylics from several companies, including Autumn Leaves and Technique Tuesday. Shipping is always free over $40, and they have an automatic "discount" club that is based on your total purchases (ongoing). We won't talk about what level I'm already at :oops: They're also a good source for Primas and printed papers from Basic Grey, Wild Asparagus, etc.
Love stuff from Art Impressions - whimsical designs as well as elegant, and the option of either wood mounted or UM.
I've just recently discovered Art Warehouse stamps, and have been eyeing them up at ArtStampsDirect. Anyone have experience with them, or know of a better source?
I do like ATRS for the wide selection, although their search tool is rather limited and I really hate the fact that they give so little info on products. A little hint - Frugalities.com is run by the same people, so anytime I find something on ATRS I do a search on Frugalities, too. I can often save myself a bundle by ordering from the other site!
What is your favorite online stamping store?
