    Default Crafty Crocodile?

    In the past I have used both Yellow Moon and Baker Ross but I've noticed that lately a lot of you are mentioning Crafty Crocodile.

    I've just had a quick peek at their site and it does appear quite a bit cheaper

    How do you rate it? Good value?

    Very good value as you don't need to buy packs of things like Baker Ross - you just order the number you need.

    Delivery is also very fast!

    I have used Baker Ross for most craft stuff and now combine where I buy from, depending on price and what I am looking for!
    I recently used Crafty Crocs for the first time and was very impressed. The order came within two days of ordering (arrived on Thursday) and someone rang to say an item was not in stock but would follow shortly ( it arrived on the Monday)!
    Overall- the items are good quality, reasonably priced, often available individually or in small bulk, packed well and delivered fast!
    Will definately be using them more often.

    Much better than Baker Ross. I put an order in at 4pm and it arrived at lunch the next day. I love that I can just buy the amount I need and it is so much cheaper than most places.

    Put quite a few orders in with them and never had a problem. In fact I'm about to go order my mothers day and easter stuff now...lol

    Just spent £50 (so I could get the free delivery!)

    However, have Easter crafts sorted, Mothers and Fathers Day Gifts, couple of items I can give my daughter for her birthday and also ordered something that mindees can decorate for one of my leavers next week.
