Stash Enhancement!

[x-posted to brit_knits and my journal.]

In an earlier post to brit_knits, I asked about the reliability and customer service of Angel Yarns, and got quite mixed responses, as you can see from the comments if you read that linked post.

But I have good news! After only a week (counting Saturday and Sunday), my order arrived here in Singapore, which means that it was assembled and gotten in the post, er, post-haste!

Now I have two skeins of Opal silk blend self-patterning sock yarn in delicious colours, and I have six new addi turbo circular needles, two each in 2, 2.5 and 3mm sizes.

One item wasn't included in my order, so I emailed the site about it. I received an answer less than two hours later from the shop owner, who assured me that according to her computer the item (a tasty Sirdar sock kit) was in stock and that barring an inventory discrepancy, she'd get that out to me today as well. :-)

So I'm very happy with the service, and I'll probably be ordering from them again. If folks who had bad experiences had those things happen awhile ago, maybe their order-handling has improved and they might well be worth another try.
