This is not the first time this has happened. It seems that what I see as a price is not what is really the price of things. Even after cleaning the cache my display was not what your display was. Apparently I was sent an email that arrived late in the evening that 2 of the items were out of stock and a substitution was made. I did not see the email in time to respond that I did not want those 2 items so they were sent. I actually saw the email that they had been sent before I saw the email informing me that the items I wanted were out of stock. It is quite difficult to arrange for the items to be returned so therefore I am stuck with them. Because of that I don't feel that I can order from your site. When I think I am getting something for one price I am informed that is not the actual price. I was told that I was seeing old screens and that I needed to clean my cache..........which I did and still saw the same screens. This of course was after I had sent my order thinking I would be pay over 7 dollars less than I had to pay. This is very frustrating. When my fixed income only allows for a few dollars to buy beads, I need to be able to rely on the price I am paying.

I’ve been wanting a Bead On It Board ever since I first saw them, but the cost was a problem. Being able to buy one and get a second for only $10 extra helped me to justify finally getting not one, but two boards :)
