What has been your experience with this company? Please, this is a question for EVERYONE. I've read several negative things about them on this board & would like to know if this deal is really worth the trouble. I've always ordered my tins from www.ebbcreations.com and have always been pleased with their shipping time, packaging & overall customer service. I pay a little more, but it's SO worth it not to have to deal with a hassle.

Well, this will only be my 2nd time ordering from them, but the first time there was no issues. The s&h seemed reasonable, it was less than 10% of the total order cost. So, I will wait and see, but the first time there were no issues :0)

I've been ordering from them for 5 years now, and never had an issue...

I used to have an eBay store, and creative express was one of my main suppliers of provo craft items... I did a BUNCH of business with them...

I just ordered six of these mini top loading tins and they are great! I have never had a problem. This will be my second order with them.

I decided to take the chance & order from them. I got 20. We're going to make them for my daughter's birthday party in May. I'll have 16 girls, ages 9-11, plus a 7yo. I know most of the girls as they are in my daughter's Junior troop, and the rest are in her class. My daughter loved her valentine box so much that she wants to do the tins for her party instead of games & goody bags.

I've ordered quite a bit from them and have been really pleased... I even had an order stolen from my home before I even got it - they COMPLETELY replaced the shipment with no cost to me - had my replacement in less than a week from my original ship date (they sent replacement by 2-day). Communication was great - their website can act up a little but can't beat their selection and prices!

They have flat rate shipping up to a certain dollar level... unfortunately if you only want one or two items, it seems steep... but if you are buying in bulk for classes, it's a great deal...

Do you have anyone close by that you can go in with on an order? That would help with shipping costs, and you'd both be able to benefit from the great price. I ordered 20 & only paid the $8.25 for standard ground.

I went to the site and they are now out of stock! How upseting...I've been trying to get more of these tins for about 2 weeks now. I asked them to notify me when they have more stock.

Hang in there... creativexpress KNOWS how popular these tins are... I've seen them be out of stock in the morning, and back in stock a few hours later... just keep checking back!

It seems I ordered the mini tins and not the regualar size ones I was looking for...oh well. I should have fun with them anyway. I am hoping I can exchange them for the regular size, which are still out of stock. I should have know, plus they're not open tomorrow. So when they finally get in maybe they can help me

I've ordered a couple times from them and never had a problem with tins. My first order (of 12) came in the original box, was nicely packaged, and no damage to the tins. When I ordered some dies for my BigShot from them, a couple of the plastic holders were broken on an end. Can't say for sure if they came that way from the company or if the package was dropped on the way to me. I'm thinking if was the latter. No big deal to me...they still work great.

I'm planning on ordering some more tins from them. I've been happy with the service.

Thanks for this thread. I have been wanting to order some more and wanted to wait until they went on sale. I just ordered 6 more and a couple of the mini bandaid tins. They looked cute. I only had one more at home and didn't want to use it unless I was able to get more on sale.

Thanks again for all the information this sight has
