GIVEAWAY CLOSED: Packages, Presents and Stuff ~ Modes4u Review

I was online a week or so ago, and the cuteness of Modes4u brainwashed me into making a massive bulk purchase!  Deco, stickers, stamps, and more ~ I just couldn’t resist.  And when the package turned up on my doorstep yesterday?   >_____<     *eee*  Very happy!!   I couldn’t wait to share it with all of you.

     

♥   L to R clockwise  ~   Face Clothes: my favourite is on top!   ♥  Two stamps:  one panda with strawberries and a cupcake one with sweets and a bunny and a bear   ♥   Two packs of puffy stickers:  Food bunnies and cute kitties   ♥   A fairy tale note book:  No lines ~ perfect for my notes and pictures!   ♥   Pacer pencil: cute bears, cakes and doughnuts and I love the doughnut charm hanging off the top of it!!   ♥   Deco items: Large roses, small roses, and cookies with strawberries on top   ♥ 

Modes4u had really great customer service ~ there was some sort of problem with my order and it wouldn’t go through, but they sorted it out really quickly and helped me finish the payment.

I was also very happy with the quick delivery ~ I ordered these items on the 22nd of November and received them on the 1st of December.  It was only just over a week before I got my items!  Plus, everything was packaged well, so that was great.

I am not so much a fan of the prices though….  I love what Modes4u do ~ their shop is clear, easy to order from and, obviously, they sell super cute stuff.   The only drawback for me was the prices of everything.   The Australian dollar is doing pretty well at the moment, so at least I didn’t have to worry about the exchange rates.  But even then, I found that while the notebook was a reasonable price at US$6.49 the pacer pencil cost US$5.07 which seemed excessive to me for what you got.   I don’t think I’d buy many of the deco items either ~ I love the strawberry cookies I got, and I want to get some of the cherry cookies too, but at US$2.59 for 5 pieces, when I can buy more than that for AUD$2.00, it just seems a little over the top.

All in all, I found the service and items from Modes4u great, but the prices a little expensive.  I’d save and buy things you really want from the site, but I’d also think twice about what you want to get.  To be perfectly honest, you might find it cheaper else where, and I’d rather having to wait a while longer if I could spend less! 

I know it’s early, but I am very excited for Christmas this year.  I think it’s going to be awesome and that’s why I have a special surprise!  I thought it would be really nice to do something celebrating Christmas on Depict This! so I am going to randomly give a Christmas present to one of my readers.   Okay, so it’s more like a really small version of a giveaway, but it’ll be fun anyway.  ^ w ^
