I need to get some tools and glass rods. I found a site called Sundanceglass but I'm not sure if that's a good site to order from. So does anyone have experience with this site or can anyone link me to a site they like to use.
I would just go to a craft store but I don't know of any in my area.

Mountain Glass Arts, Wale Apparatus, ABR, Glasscraft, Blastsheild
Those are a few good places to start. Certain places are better for certain things. Looking around for weekly and monthly deals is important, you can save yourself a good deal of money if you do. Also certain places are good for tubing, others for color, and others for tools.

What sort of sites came up when you used the search for terms like "suppliers"?
Also, have a look in the vendor room.

I like frantzartglass.com. They are reasonable and have free shipping every few months. Also Salt City Glass is a new supplier I have heard good things about.

Sundance is decent. They ship fast if it's in stock. Their website isn't linked to their stock, which I don't like. Glasscraft has been the best for supplies to me. ABR has been the best as far as tools. Prices are pretty close between them. Make sure you get the discount club if you spend over $500 a year.

If you want real personalized service check out Salt City Glass. Robert and Donna are awesome! I get an email from them all the time offering me help and telling me about new things. If I have any questions, they both know me personally and will take the time to solve it. The very first shipment I had from them was missing one strip of dychro, so Robert sent me two and a bunch of different rod to try out.
I would highly suggest them being on your list of people to contact.

Glass House Supply in Arcata Ca. Everything always in stock, Great selection and they ship fast. But, don't forget when ordering to take into consideration shipping charges (weight and distance) and how far you live for shipping time. I got all my beginning supplies at sundance cause I could drive there and look and bye. But now I order from glass house. Best customer service and Very helpful! Great guys!

devardiglass for ultra-cheap claw grabbers and marble molds. Yup, lol, just ordered both from them over the weekend, they sent it out Tuesday and I just got it now. 2 days shipping, I'm impressed, from Oregon to MA. Looks to be decent quality too for $10 tools, haha.

Yeah, I ordered a bunch of stuff in one day from several sites. Devardi had it at my door 4 days before the next fastest. I have made literally thousands of spoons on those $10 grabbers, and they still work 95% of new. It seems like everything else (besides the molds) on that site is super jank though.

I have not received anything bad from that site excpet glass lol. I have their marble molds, all the medium grabbers, hemostats, some smaller pushes and stuff too I think.
