Barrel of Beads — Local services in Woonsocket

The beads are beautiful however, I do have one suggestion. First of all the shipping was very fast. However, I do feel they need to increase the quantity of beads In their tubes. One of the tubes I received was only a little more than half full. I know they are selling these by grams, and I was aware of the weight before purchasing. So I am not saying I was not informed, but just that it sucks to have to purchase two tubes of the same bead in order to finish a project that isn’t unreasonable large. So that’s the only feedback I have is please increase your bead quantity sizes. Otherwise very good customer service and beautiful beads!

They have colors I have not been able to get elsewhere.

For example: I got 13 grams of 11/0 Silverlined Blue Zircon for $2.60 from them and from my local bead shop I got 23 grams for $4.50. I would much rather pay the $4.50 for more beads.

Great experience with this online store. I am very new to beading, was buying for my first project, and they had great selection and prices. Also, the website is well organized, easy to navigate, loads pages quickly, and has great color photos of the various beads so you can see the color and other attributes like matte vs. the various gloss finishes.

I love Barrel of Beads! So far I have ordered twice from the website and had no problems! It was easy to use the search bar to look for the Delica Beads by number and add to my shopping cart. They also have various sub-categories that you can browse to find what you need. The beads are great and made my bracelet project look exactly how it should. I look forward to my next project using the beads from here. The shipping was fast and free with my order over $25! It is so nice that the minimum for free shipping is a reasonable price, as other sites nowadays have increased minimums to around $50 to include free shipping. I will definitely purchase from again when I need other beads for my projects! I was impressed with the selection of beading cords/threads that is on the...
