BAD WIRE SUPPLIER
All,
I just thought I'd post here my experiences with CRAFTWIRE. They are a company in Nevada USA and advertize on the internet that they supply all sizes of aluminum bonsai wire. They will take your money and never send you product or give you the status of your order. DO NOT use these flakes for any of your wire needs, you'll just get angry and frustrated. If you know others in your local club please let them know about it too. The last thing we need in our artform are company's that don't perform or deliver products as expected and try to keep your hard earned cash..

Re: BAD WIRE SUPPLIER
And this is why you go to your local nursery, spend a little more, and get the product placed in your hand. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL NURSERY

Re: BAD WIRE SUPPLIER
The only way to go, if we dont support them we have less choice for Quality goods that are available. As quick as a trip to a very friendly place, instead of waiting for the postman who is always late.bodhidharma wrote:And this is why you go to your local nursery, spend a little more, and get the product placed in your hand.

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Well Bretts the obvious solution, seeing you have a captive clientele, is to open your own Nursery.Bretts wrote:A quick 5 hour trip just the one way![]()
