Pastel Sales

I don't recommend any art supply warehouse as a favorite. When purchasing any items cost compare before buying, find out if taxes are added and if an up-charge freight cost will be added. Ask if the product is in stock and what the shipping date is along with the delivery date. If you are ordering something by mail, don't order one thing at a time. Make a list, buy large quantities and ask if you can save even more money on sale items...
