Hey everyone i decided to type a quick review of the abr vip club since ive been using it for about 4 months now. I
-$25 shipping credit on each order- This is great for the guys who like to order as they go, more often. Tools, a lb of color and some clear will easily fit in the boxes they send so shipping is usually free.
-Many options- ABR has a wide variety of things to stick in said box, and the website is overall easy to use. Although i do have to visit Mountain Glass Arts to see color descriptions because they do not list them on ABR. Sometimes this leads me to make purchases from Mountain Glass instead when i see stuff they have that abr doesn't.
-Customer Service- Customer service is very kind although your initial bank statement doesn't represent the discounted amount and you have to wait for the discount to " go thew" and refund the money to your account.
-Packing- Everything is packaged very well and i haven't received a damaged order yet. Shipping is fast for ground but im pretty close.
Product Stock- This is the largest downfall of the club. How am i sopped to use my discount when nothing i really want is ever in stock. With Glass Alchemy going direct to buyer i would think they would want colors like Star White powder, Onyx powder, Star White Odds, Star White Seconds, Onyx Odds, Onyx Seconds. They allow you to reserve as much as you want befor its even in stock again which really fucks everything up, most sites have a button to email you when it comes instock. I mean technically 1 shop could buy all the Oxyx Seconds for the next year and leave guys like us to buy somewhere elce even though we payed for this VIP CLUB...One time i thought i got lucky and the Onyx thats been out of stock for 4 months didnt say "out of stock" but i was quickly called to inform me that they in fact did not have the product. I wonder what other products are never there i havnt noticed yet.
So all in all if your a little newer to the game this club could be GREAT to help you on shipping with the " damn i didn't know i was gonna need one of those." or "Maybe i shouldn't get a ton of this right now incase its not what i need". But if you have your tools and need glass that actually in stock..Consider your options.
