Current Tags What is a Tag:
How is the web site look & feel / user friendliness? Is it easy to surf? Yes, it is pretty easy to navigate.

Is this a commercial web site? If yes how are the prices? Do they have a secure shopping cart? The shopping is secure. The prices are comparable for the level of merchandise that you get.

How is the customer service? The customer service is pretty good. I called to ask that a modification be made to an item that I ordered. I wasn't sure that the message had been received as intended since I had a hard time understanding the person that I was talking to. But, the product came as requested so apparently she understood me better than I understood her. I was going to call back in the afternoon to confirm, but I got my shipping notice by 2PM. That is another thing, I really like to get a shipping notification with a tracking number and I got this for the lower USPS standard rate of $5.65 for the box.

Have you bought anything from this web site? If yes, was the item delivered on time? YES! I got some wonderful RIRI zippers that were customized to my specifications. I was looking for an open ended Zipper for a jacket and the only one that they listed in the rainbow color that I wanted was closed end. As per some fb advise from Ann Steeves I called them and asked for it to be changed (with much skepticism) and the zipper showed up exactly as I wanted.

Would you recommend this site to others? Definitely. They sell zippers that are made by Riri whare are pretty expensive at $14.99 each, but if you are making something like a leather jacket that you don't want to take any chances with and you really want it to last I would recommend that you spring for a riri zipper. I would not make a coat wiht anything else.

Thank you, I am always looking for just the right notions and though a bit spendy, I agree that things like special coats need proper zippers.

Wow! They have dye in many colors, hard to find twill tape 90+ colors, snap tape, elasticized webbing. The variety is astounding. I would love to bookmark this review on PR.

Pacific Trim is the best. I order their Riri zippers uncut (they're 36" long) and purchase extra Riri zipper pulls (you can buy them separately for about $2 or $3). That way, I can cut them myself and have multiple closed end zippers. Pacific Trim also sells fabulous handbag hardware (not the junky, generic kind you usually see) and all the LaMode/LaPetite buttons). And their shipping costs are extremely reasonable.

nancy, I really want to do this. I can't bring myself to pay $15 for a short zipper. Are there any tricks to it? How do you do the zipper stop?
