I read the "About Us" section & am very concerned. They sound like they're in a foreign country. The grammar & words are very unusual for a US site.
They don't say where they are located. They don't give ANY info. about themselves.
I'd be concerned about giving my credit card info. Yes their prices are way too good.

"Bonnings"? "Patter Papers"? Gimme a break! Just one glance at the first sentence of the About Us page, and you know this is a foreign company using a very poor translation program. Do be careful - sometimes the lure of saving a nickel isn't worth the risk you take... not to mention the thought of having your identity stolen! Caveat Emptor!

Even June Taylor was $1.00 ea. From the largest cutting mat to the smallest - $1. Rotary cutters $1.00. Something's not right. If it sounds too good to be true etc. . . . . . :thumbdown: :?
And you're also right - it sounds like an English as a 2nd language person even tho it shows two New York addresses. :?

Clearly, English is not their native tongue. I would be very suspicious of this site.

My hubby loves your m/c.

As for purchasing from this company, I pretty much look to the suggestions I get here. If no one else has ordered I do not either...money is just too precious anymore to take chances.

What a cute dog is it a Wellesley?

She is a Westipoo, 1/2 white highland terrier and 1/2 poodle. But honestly I see very little poodle in her, and her temperment is more like a Westie as well. She's my baby : )

I went to their website silthreadinc.com and I would put a big red flag on it. BEWARE - Everything on their site has a cost of $100 and the shipping is free. Their address and phone number looks very bogus. I would not buy them

1234 Broadway in New York City, the address for this firm, is a sort of apartment building. Actually an SRO, Single Room Occupany. The company sounds none too stable to me.

LOL, there's a review about the apartment building at 1234 online, it's a huge slam. About the language thing--one of the maps I consulted showed it a block or so away from so-called "Korea Town."
