Oh I love the jars. Most of the dust come in those hard to open jars. I've had to put them in jars I bought. I hate how they are hard to open and you pry them open and they spill all over. These look easy and great.

I'm going to order some now.

Just a question they tell on the package that it's nons toxique and it's for decorating so if i understand i can put on fondant and eat it it's not just for the decoration like sugarpaste flower...???

Thank you




Luster Dust is not FDA approved as a FOOD PRODUCT. Its non-toxic, meaning in the small quantities you serve, it should cause no harm, but we cannot legally tell you to eat it.

IF you are ordering the 2g jars, they are very light and small so you can get probably one of each available color and have it fit within First Class Mail rates, and so if you are in the US it should only be a couple dollars.

If you really want to know your shipping, go load your cart and follow the check out to the shipping section, it will tell you your shipping charge before asking for payment info.

I think on you website the price for shipping in us it's good, but for international it's possible to contact you before ordering, because for my order i pay more than 8 dollars and i saw on package that you pay 5.90.
For this one it's not a problem but when i make a big order can i contact you before???

Thank you thumbs_up.gif

Even if you contact us before you order, we won't know the exact shipping charge. The website has to take a guess at how much packaging materials will add to the weight of the ordered items and come up with a charge according to the Post Office Software.. That means we won't know what we pay until it is put in the box and placed on the scale to print the postage. Sometimes it costs more than we charged, and we absorb the difference. Sometimes it costs less. In cases where the difference is extreme, we try to remember to issue a refund to the customer to make it fair. IF you ever feel you were overcharged for shipping, and we did not catch it, just let us know and we will be happy to issue a refund, no problem.

Well I finally was able to order mine, had a lot of trouble with the process, but with the inet here, it's slow anyway. Hopefully they will have fixed the underwatercables soon. Can't wait to receive them though. yes Nati, how long was your shipping and how did you have them sent? I suppose to china i should add 2-3 days

I ordered on the 11th of Jan and they arrived two days ago, only that i wasnt able to pick them up from the post office till today. I was busting at the seams to go and get them, but i wasnt able to get out of work on time to get to the post office.

The amethyst is beautiful. But my fav is the bronze. WOW

Dunno
I have never seen the sweet inspirations bronze. This is the first bronze i've owned. I was working out the costs of all the dusts and the americolours, with the shipping, and it would have cost me at least twice that much to buy those things from here icon_eek.gif
yaaaaaaaaaaay for CC

I put my order in yesterday for just about every color in 8g. jars I could get! Good prices are hard to find and if those pics are anything to judge by, the color and shine can't be beat either. Oh, I hope the post office is quick, I am too anxious to get these for a cake I am making for our church's new sanctuary opening!!!! icon_cry.gificon_cry.gificon_cry.gificon_cry.gificon_cry.gif

Some of the Post Office stuff was delayed because of both the Martin Luther King Jr, holiday weekend and that the day after the holiday weekend, the Post Office forgot us on their route and never picked up our packages. So there was a good 4 day span where nothing got picked up here.

Sometimes their scanners don't pick up the barcode they use. Last time I ordered I received my package and they still had no info on my package! icon_rolleyes.gif

Our local post office is extremely bad about scanning. In fact they are very bad about everything. If it were up to me we would only use UPS but unfortunately alot of our packages would cost alot more to ship with UPS. So, in the spirit of cost savings to the customers, we have to deal with the downside of poor service from USPS. icon_sad.gif

You guys are pretty good about quickly expediting orders but unfortunetly usps just isn't. I do like ups except when they leave my package on my front steps in the rain! I know it's usually in a plastic bag but my front door is very visible to a ton of traffic. I have a back door that is just as easy to get to. And no dogs or fences to manuver. BUT we do what we can and love our orders from CC! party.gifbirthday.gificon_biggrin.gif
