    Hi all - further to my earlier posts, my neighbour got her delivery this morning and came to show me what she got: 6 absolutely lovely things - a real bargain, so I think I ( and a couple of others) have jus tbeen really unlucky. Shame as I am dirt poor and my neighbour is rich! It doesn't seem fair :( but that's life! :)

    mine was crap also,all except 1 nice set of stretchy bracelets... i got the horrible flower thing with a bit of ribbon too,and a plastic hairband that wouldn't fit a doll,some also really horrible hair slides complete with dust.... you win some you lose some i suppose.... thanks anyway op some people did well....
  • When I first got the email I couldn't believe my eyes & ordered 2 sets - they came 2 days later, all South Beach Rocks stuff - some rubbish plastic necklaces but the bracelets, earrings & hair things were lovely. I was chuffed & ordered another 3 sets, with a view to maybe selling them on Ebay/having spare Birthday presents for the year. The next order didn't come for 4 days BUT there was absolutely no South Beach stuff in there. Instead I got 3 lovely Johnny Loves Rosie pony bands and a vast ammount of stuff by Nylon. When I checked their outlet store (it seems Nylon is now discontinued on the main site) I found a lot of the items were on there that were in my parcel!
    Pewter drop earrings £4.95
    Crystal flower clip-in earrings £10.50
    Sweet heart silhouette necklace £46.50
    Heart of stone necklace £29.95
    Pearl & crystal brooch necklace £17.85
    Tassle drop earrings £8.95
    Sleek jewelled bangle £16.50
    Silver knot bracelet £13.00
    AND
    Single strand Swarovski crystal necklace..... £99.50!!!
    So I'm pretty happy with my £32 spend! I reckon they ran out of the SBR excess stock and had to chuck other stuff in, really pleased they did though! It definately seemed like a random mixture though, and the 5 seperate sets all varied hugely in size and content. Sad for those who didn't do well out of it. :(
  • Sorry I forgot to say that some of you who maybe weren't so pleased have a little look at the site and you may just be very pleasantly surprised if you find one of your items on there! That £99.50 necklace was a real shocker!!! :)

    i am so mad :mad:
    i just got my order and its the most hopeless ever,
    it came in a nice gift box, but when i opened it was shocking.
    all i saw were rusted pieces of the tackiest kind of jewellry on earth,
    old and dirty looking ribbons,plastic head bands that might not fit a barbie and broken pieces of string and beads. absolute rubbish!
    and i ordered 2 for £12.50.
    its so disappointing, first time i have ordered from them and it will definately be the last. they have definately lost my custom

    Hmmmn - I ordered a South Beach rocks flower hairpiece separately for DD which still hasn't arrived (probably in somebodys jewellery order)
    I don't think I would be pleasantly surprised if any of the stuff they sent me was on the website at a higher price.
    I did recieve a Johny Loves Rosie flower hair clip but have since discovered it is broken (not unusual judging by many of the posts on here!)

    Who cares about the RRP on the website?? If they could sell them for that price they wouldn't be giving them away in a gift box for a fiver!!

    What matters is whether you get what was advertised, which some of us did not.

    i think gembolina maybe works for them, all his/her posts seem to be spam.
