Most of the items need to meet our minimum quantity, due to the small quantity under the MOQ is difficult to be arranged for production.

If there are some unavailable ones, we can choose similar ones as replacements if you like. So we suggest you place the order directly from our website, we will check if we can offer you or not.

6. How much is shipping cost?
That depends on what you are ordering since shipping costs are highly sensitive to weight and dimensions and shipping method. The heavier and larger your order is, the more it will cost to ship. However, there are economies of scale and shipping cost per kilogram decreases as the package gets heavier. It's always more cost effective to ship more items in one package than to ship separately.
We use a variety of express mail services - including DHL, UPS, EMS and FEDEX which are door to door. If you have friends who live near you, and would like to order as well - you can suggest batching everything into one order to save on shipping costs for everyone.
The total shipping cost is calculated after you check-out your shopping cart from within our online store. We will elect the lowest cost and most reliable service for your location after we check the order.
As to the shipping cost, you can reference from the following web:

Thread, Cord and Wire.
Silk Bead Cord - is used for beads with smaller holes such as freshwater pearls and beads under 5mm. You can add a designer look by using our Tri-Cord knotter, and placing knots on either side of the pearl. Wide spectrum of colors.
Nylon Bead Cord - is used as an all purpose bead cord. You can use Beeswax to coat the cord to keep it from fraying and tangling when it is repeatedly threaded through metal beads with sharp edges.
Using light colors against a dark bead will lighten that bead color... Dark color cord will darken a light bead. Example: White cord with Garnet bead will add to the luminosity of the bead.
Tiger Tail - is a commonly used stringing material, and does not require a needle.
Beadalon - Beadalon wire remains soft and pliable, even when using the smaller beads. Beadalon is a multi-strand braided stainless steel wire with a nylon coating.
C-Thru Translucent Cord - is perfect for stringing Austrian Crystals, or any light colored bead when you don't want the cord to be visible.
Stretch Magic - is a flexible clear elastic cord. It is often used for slip-on crystal bracelets, and is a beader's favorite as it only requires a knot to finish.
Memory Wire - is a pre-coiled stainless steel wire that retains it shape.Very popular for wine charm markers and bracelets.
Rattail - is a round, satin-like cord, often used to show off one large pendant or centerpiece as its beautiful colors beg to be seen.
Leather Cord - is always a popular stringing material as there is no finishing required. Simply add a pendant or centerpiece, tie a bow and go.
