I would have liked more information about the subscription process and how to cancel the membership if desired. Also wanted specific details about what the kit includes. New to Potomac Beads and your website.

The website is easily navigable and I like the option to omit out-of-stock items from turning up in searches. My orders are always processed promptly and well packaged for shipping. On the rare occasions that I receive an incorrect item I have always been fully satisfied by its resolution. Potomac has long been one of my favorite vendors and they often have things I can't get anywhere else. One thing I wish they would do is put the manufacturer item code (like TR-08-999 or DP-401FR) on the label, since sometimes name of a finish will get changed; it would make it easier to find the same color again since the color code stays the same.
