Received package of 6x12mm amethyst daggers in two sizes! 14 correct size 6x12mm but the rest were a lot bigger! I will only be able to make 7 sets of Glamorous earrings! Couple of EVA beads did not have the second hole. I could not even make a hole! Overall, thank you !!

I receive the wrong item I ordered. I ordered a clear acrylic bead sorter and received a wooden one that had barely visible letters and numbers. I asked for the clear acrylic one to be sent to me - as that is what I ordered - and agreed to return the wooden one if a postage paid address label was sent to me. Nobody answered.
