I made an order before reading the scam reports. I called my credit card company & asked them to decline the purchase, but it had already gone through (the same day I made the order). I wrote Host a letter asking for a refund as I find it hard to work with the very small beads. Nothing. A week later I get the package with the impossible instructions & small plastic beads, & ridiculous beading needle. I worked all day and couldn't get through the first 5 steps. In the past I worked for an upscale jewellery making business... I could work at home. I wasn't made to purchase my materials & got paid for my work right away. The jewellery was sold in upscale boutiques & stores such as Holt Renfrew... it was not crap. The instructions were clear and concise... I used tools to cut chain & attach findings to beads, etc. we worked with heavy wire, etc. so I am not a novice to making jewellery. The enclosed letter said no refunds under any circumstances, plus if you are actually able to make the bracelet you have to pay for your own materials so you could make 30 more. I feel they are only a bead selling business & actually do not pay for your work... better off buying beads in a good bead store, make bracelets, necklaces & sell them on E-Bay or Etnie. It would be hard to press charges as they do send you the beads, but it is almost set up for you to fail. I was really, really hoping this would work as my financial situation is desperate... now my mental state is too... DON'T SEND THESE PEOPLE $ I feel like driving to Thunder Bay but a 24 hour drive and the $79.90 I already sent them isn't worth the bother... or is it?..Jackie
