We have made several Montessori material orders, and I wanted to share our experience with you. I am so happy to have our orders in!
Kidadvance - I ordered the bulk of our materials here because they were great quality, well priced, good shipping, and great customer service. I have ordered from them in the past and had great luck. They package everything extremely well and the products that I have received are beautiful, sturdy and well made. A few examples from my order Leaf Cabinet, Checker Board, Continent Puzzles, Decanomial Bead Box, Botany & Zoology Cabinets. I could not be happier with my order from them, as I have been in the past.
I ordered the Equation Boxes for all operations from Montessori Outlet. My plan is to print the working charts, and buy the boxes to use with them to save on time with printing and cutting out all those tiny answer chips and equations. Unfortunately two of the operations boxes were missing from my order. I emailed them and did get a response fairly quickly stating that these two items are on back order. I did finally receive them in great condition. I also purchased the fraction circle puzzles and they were great. The also gave great customer service.
We purchased our Bead Cabinet materials from IFit Montessori and they were amazing! i needed to match some of my existing beads and they were very helpful. We loved their product and it arrived in perfect condition. We also purchased our 45 Golden Thousand cubes from them.
Our Compact Home Bead Cabinet

I hope you have great luck purchasing your materials.

ReplyDeleteThank you!! I really appreciate hearing that. It's been lots of work but so worth it. It can be intimidating to get started, but I'm so glad we did :))
ReplyDeleteHi Cherine. Your blog is amazing! I'm new to Montessori, so I do refer back & forth to your blog for ideas, links & visual explanation - all in one! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteJust a quick comment about Montessori Outlet -- fast-forward 2012, they haven't changed! I've had the same experience! They never bother to email or call me to say that they can't deliver 2/3rds of my order, on top of that, they don't do back-orders for international customers. I was so annoyed with them!
Anyway... Keep up the great work you're doing here... Cheers, from down under :-)
Thank you Zara!!!! MO did send the boxes eventually, but I wish they would make it clear before purchase when items will not be available :(
ReplyDeleteI always really loved a good visual reference and links when I started, and am trying to do the same. I am happy to hear it's helpful...Thank you!!!
