Website is not easy to use. I had difficulty with the password reset link. It would also be helpful to have filters available on more categories. For instance I was looking for specific type of clasps with certain features but had to scroll through pages of items I wasn’t interested in.
It was difficult to place my order. I added and removed things from the cart. When I removed an item, it removed almost everything I had in the cart Something that should’ve taken three minutes, took a 15 minutes. The phone I was using is an Apple on a safari browser.
My local bead store closed and I have had to shop at three different stores to get some of the products I use. On finding Potamac Beads, it's now a one stop shopping. They carry the types of beads I use! I'm very happy!
