Default Lifescraft Dies

As anyone had experience with this company? I think they are based in Asia from the few clues I can find and based on sentence structure and so forth. They have a couple of dies I would really like to add to my collection but ------I don't want to violate any copyrights. I have done a search for the dies I want using different names and haven't uncovered any that are the same die...even wrote down the size so I could check that.....

never heard of this country. I tried to do some looking online and they look like a company based out of the UK....but hard to find info on them. They have great prices on dies...would love to hear too if anyone knows anything about this company.

New to me company

I see where their contact info says the UK but "not a returnable address"...I am not clear what that means.

Their gnome dies look like another company's but I cant remember the name now.

You could email them and ask them where the mfg actually is. Where is product shipping from, etc.

Hmmm. If their email account is with Hotmail, that doesn't sound like it's a very professional business. The wording on their site is awkward, so I don't think they are actually based in the USA. That physical address might be a warehouse. I have no experience with this company, though. This is JMO.

I dont know anything about online business in that way but that sounds like a good point Scrapjenny about hotmail. My master company file is only for the website not the contact link so I cant review it...I am trying to think if I have ever had a small company use it...hmmm

Don't assume that because they use hotmail, it is "off". Hotmail is one of five domains still in use, and that can still be signed up for, in the Microsoft Outlook family. Others are live.com, msn.com, passport.com, and of course, outlook.com. Customers can convert any of the domains to Outlook if they choose.

They do appear to be a UK-based company, and they use manufacturers in China to make their designs. That is the case with many US-based companies as well. If it were me, I would avoid their stamps, as they appear to be silicone instead of photopolymer. JMHO.

I didn't say that made it "off." I said it was unprofessional. That's like using Gmail, AOL, or Yahoo for a business email address. It's OK if it's something like Etsy, but a company with their own website should have their own mail server.

Reporting back about my experience with lifescraft dies.
I placed my order at approximately 3:30 on Sunday afternoon....(not a Super Bowl fan) within minutes I had a confirmation of order being received.
Today-- Tuesday February 15--as I checked my mail box (USPS one) there was a padded envelope postmarked from Middletown Ohio. with name of sender---a street address and everything it needed.....I should stop and say here that I typed in the discount code given on the site and it effectively reduced the cost by the amount of shipping($4.03).....The parcel came FIRST CLASS Parcel. The dies are well made. I am on my way down to try them out but I believe this is a company to look at for dies. Yes they are all marked made in China. Yes the name on the return address is Asian. But the quality seems good and the speed of receiving blows me away.

I came here to find out what you all think of this company, LIFESCRAFT. I'm getting mixed response on Facebook. I really love some of their dies and want to order, but I don't know if they're a scam or not. Has anyone RECENTLY order from them and what was the turnaround time? Your info is appreciated!

The Lifecraft site link posted in a previous comment shows dies that look the same as Kokarosa I have seen posted on Facebook. I ordered from Kokarosa one time several years ago, and overall the dies were as good a quality as other name brand on the market.
