"Exactly what I hoped for"
The beads looked just like the photos, and the colors were spot on. No weird surprises when they arrived, which makes them a solid buy in my opinion.

"A bead lover’s little treasure hunt"
They have so many beads and findings to choose from that I got lost in the best way possible. It took me forever to decide because every time I thought I was done, something else caught my eye. Total bead overload, but in a fun, magical kind of way. I just wish a few of the colors had more stock, because of course the ones I wanted most were running low.

"Nice deals on beads"
I picked up some really beads for a great price in the sale. The selection was a little picked over, but that’s kind of expected with sale stuff, and I still found a few nice ones I’m happy with.

"Quick checkout, no issues"
I was just trying to order a couple things and didn’t really spend too much time poking around, but the checkout part was easy. Found what I needed, put it in the cart, and the pages loaded without acting weird.

The shipping and payment stuff was clear too, at least for my order. Confirmation came through right away, so overall it was simple and didn’t give me anything to complain about.

"Honestly relieved with how well it was packed"
I was a little nervous ordering beads online, but I felt so relieved when they arrived in perfect shape. Everything was packed neatly in small bags, nothing spilled out, and none of the beads were scratched up. It wasn’t overpacked either, just really thoughtfully done. Sorting them was super easy too. I’m really happy I gave it a try

"Color was really close to the photos"
The color was almost exactly like the pictures, which I was happy about. I noticed it’s a tiny bit different in certain lighting, especially near the edges and in warmer indoor light, but overall it’s close and looks nice.

"Really cute beads that feel DIFFERENT"
I’ve ordered from Lima Beads a few times now, i’m always impressed by how many unique little designs they have. A lot of the beads are things I don’t see at local craft stores or even on other websites, which is GREAT because my bracelets end up looking way less basic lol. Shipping was totally fine, and everything arrived packed nicely. I’ll definitely order again when I want something more fun and not the same old stuff.

"Pretty much everything was just right"
My order from Lima Beads showed up and, as far as I could tell, everything was correct. The beads and findings all matched up with the invoice, and the colors looked right too. I didn’t notice anything missing, which I definitely appreciate.

"Shipping was fine, kinda wish it was cheaper"
I do like ordering from Lima Beads, honestly. The shipping cost feels a bit much when I’m only getting a small order, but it showed up quick and everything was packed totally fine. I’d still order again, I just kinda wish the shipping was a little cheaper sometimes.

"Pretty solid customer service"
I had an issue and reached out, and they got back to me quickly. It seemed like they knew what they were doing, and the problem was sorted without much hassle. Overall, I’m happy with how it went.

"Pretty close on size"
The beads were about the size they said they’d be. I checked them against that thing I had, and they seemed close overall.

"Decent site, but I feel dumb for trusting the stock"
I’ve ordered from Lima Beads a few times the site itself is fine. But the inventory situation is frustrating. I’ll find the colors or bead sizes I need, get my hopes up, and then they’re out of stock again. I keep checking back like it’s going to magically be available, and at this point I feel kind of stupid for trusting that they’ll have what I need when I need it. When things are actually in stock, the order is usually okay. I just really wish their stock was more consistent

"Easy tracking, even for a skeptic like me"
I ordered some beads from Lima Beads and, i was half expecting the tracking to be vague or weird because small orders can sometimes feel like they disappear into the void.
The email came quickly though, and the updates were actually useful. I kept checking it like, “Okay, is this really moving?” but it never got stuck or confusing.

Everything arrived when it was supposed to and was packed just fine. Simple, smooth order overall, and I didn’t find anything to complain about. 5 stars from me.

"Good deals, but keep an eye on checkout"
I’ve ordered from Lima Beads a few times now, and overall I’ve been happy with them. The prices are usually better than what I find at my local craft stores, and every now and then I’ll come across beads that feel like kind of a steal. Their sales pop up often enough that my cart somehow never stays empty for long.

The only thing that keeps it from being a full 5 stars for me is the shipping. If I’m only grabbing a few things, the total can creep up higher than I expected by the time I check out. That said, when I’m ordering enough to make it worthwhile, the selection and pricing usually balance it out

"I ended up needing to return a few..."
I ended up needing to return a few beads because I accidentally ordered the wrong size. The process was straightforward, and customer service got back to me within a reasonable amount of time. I did have to read through the return instructions carefully, but it wasn’t anything too difficult. Once they received the package, my refund came through without any issues. There were a couple small things that could’ve been smoother, but overall it was a good experience.

"Refund went smoother than expected..."
I had a small issue with my order and ended up asking about a refund. They replied quickly and didn’t make it into a whole ordeal... just handled it. The money was back in my account a few days later. it was way easier than I thought it would be, so I’d be fine ordering from them again

"Simple and easy from start to finish"
I had a smooth time using the site. I was able to find my way around without getting confused, the search pulled up what I needed, and checkout went through without any hassle. That’s really what matters to me when shopping online

"Shipping took longer than I thought"
I was expecting it to arrive a bit sooner, so the wait was kind of disappointing. It did get here eventually, but the shipping was slower than I had in mind

"I’ve ordered from limabeads.com a few times..."
I’ve ordered from limabeads.com a few times now, and the delivery has been reliable. Everything has shown up on the day they said it would, with no missing items or random delays. I guess the packaging isn’t anything super fancy, but that’s not really a big deal since everything arrived just fine. Overall, I’ve been happy with them.

Lima Beads Q&A

Hi, do you have reading reference material that would tell me about different bead types such as "silver lined" v. s. "galvanized"?

ticklishbutterfly312
October 13, 2020

“Hi, Elizabeth! I can describe each of those for you. I hope this helps!:) Galvanized: The shiny finish on these beads gives them the appearance of metal and referred to as metallic beads. They are not in the metallic bead family. Until a few years ago (see PF beads) they were highly unstable and were avoided by some users. New technology has created a much more stable bead. Silver-Lined: A sterling silver lining has been applied to the inside of a transparent or translucent bead creating a mirror like surface that transmits light from the center of the bead. These beads also come with a "frosted" finish. Thanks! Lima Beads”
