Because Plasabali is located in Bali, shipping to the U.S. is expensive (although they now offer "low express" shipping if you are willing to wait a couple weeks for your order), but they have some amazing prices on silver and vermeil beads and findings that certainly make up for the shipping cost if you can buy in bulk.

Rockin Beads always has some great deals! I would say that their specialty is Czech and Miyuki seed beads, including a full line of Unions seed beads, but they always have many of the new shaped beads available at a great price. They are also one of the few shops here in the U.S. that sells Twin beads. And... they sell SuperDuo beads in 20-22 gram tubes!
