Poor customer service, poor quality merchandise

by gpcrafter, Mar 02 '11
I recently purchased a beginner metal clay kit from Fire Mountain Gems.  After only 4-5 uses, the butane torch that came with the kit began to malfunction. It will not turn off.  In order to turn it off, I now have to use a screwdriver to pry ...

Overpriced shipping, Poor packaging, bad customer service!

by beadrgrl, Jul 12 '10
Customer Service is dreadful. After receiving pair after pair of marcasite earring studs improperly packaged and bent during shipping, I returned 3, and they only credited me for one. At more than $8.00 a pair, I wanted the other 2 refunded. After 4 days ...

Great place to shop for large quantities of mid-grade beads

by wychic, Jul 02 '07
Bead stores are great things. I am rarely in a state of greater crafter's bliss than when confronted by wall-to-wall beads of every shape, size, color, and material. Unfortunately, I live in a small town with one little over-priced bead store twenty-five ...

I totally recommend FMG, assortable discount/returns policy very fair

by wildpoppy, May 22 '07
I have been a customer of FMG for over 20 years, gosh, that makes me feel old. I started out wire wrap freeform, and due to disability and difficulty in getting out to look at supplies, or even knowing where to look, I turned to FMG and still rely on ...

Prepare to be ripped off

by scarlet4201, May 17 '07
I first heard about Firemountain Gems through an ad in a beading magazine. Satisfied with my usual supply vendor, yet seeking some variety, I visited the website and was in bead heaven! It was virtually a one-stop shop for near everything a beader ...

mediocre to fair quality, not customer centered, over priced

by jmschauer, Mar 28 '07
Delivery speed is excellent, but the rates charged are quite high in comparison with other bead supply online stores. At first I was attracted to the one stop shopping and then as I gained more jewelry knowledge I realized that their prices on many items ...

A good site for craft items, but order info could use a little work

by purpleiguana, May 05 '05
My initial opinion of the site was that a) it had what I wanted, b) in great variety, and c) at very reasonable prices. The website was VERY user friendly. Ordering and creating an account were very easy to do. However, when I got my order ...

Shipping rate is now reasonable at $6.85 down from $9.50

UPDATE: THEY REDUCED THEIR SHIPPING RATE! They have retained the $6.85 flat rate, but they are no longer charging the $2.85 "processing fee". I don't know if this is a coincidence or not, but I e-mailed them about the high shipping fee and within a
