ISO Lime Brite Ficcare- Halp!

**Nightshade** · July 30th, 2008, 01:19 PM

So after giving up my quest for a jade-on-silver transplant I decided that I could make due with a lime brite border, only to find that Ficcare doesn't sell them anymore and they're discontinued and out of stock.

Headgames still has them online, and I tried to call to verify if they have them in stock, but no one answered their line

As I've heard lots of bad things about their customer service, I thought I'd see if LHC had one or two first.

So, I'm searching for a Lime Brite Border Maximus. Ideal size is large, but I've wanted to try a small or medium for awhile, so I may consider one of those. I'd happily pay cash via PayPal.

I promise I'd give it a fantastic home!

I don't have one but I do know small is getting to small for my buns and they don't work well for half ups

As we're hair twins, that's good to know

I can't say I wouldn't try one, though

Oh, I wish I could help! I'm in search of a Brite Blue maximas, so if by any chance you come across some secret stash of Brite maximas clips, let me know.

Posting this here in case some other kind soul can help both of us!

Good luck --

P.S. I'm also reluctant to order from Headgames.

NIghtshade, I think you'd be safe ordering one from HeadGames - I got mine from them with no trouble only a couple of months ago.

How quick is their turn around on an order?

Because I just placed one

But in case HeadGames lives up to it's crappy reputation, my offer and interest still stands!

I found that their turnaround for in-stock items was very reasonable. For out of stock items, though, it's hit and miss.

Nightshade: I placed the order on May 12; got an email on the 20th that it had shipped; picked it up in NYC a few days later. I had put a note that it had to arrive by a certain date, and it did.

I think it does really come down to whether the item is in stock or not, and I don't think they always know when something *will* come in. The previous order I placed with them, last Christmas, I heard nothing for over a month. But when I phoned them, they knew which items they were waiting for, and when the next shipment they might be in would arrive. And they did, as they promised, follow up with email to confirm one way or the other. (Of course, I told them I'd be cancelling the order if the items didn't arrive in that shipment. But still.)

The lime color is worth waiting for. I think it's the best of their greens.
