I order from Fire Mountain Gems all the time. Some of the beads come loose, others pre-strung. I have ordered a number of zip lock bags in varying sizes from Uline (http://www.uline.com/), which, as others have indicated, I use for more than just beads. If you are going to have a lot of beads on hand at any given time, I would recommend boxes with dividers, which I have bought at different craft stores, such as Michaels, Hobby Lobby or Joann's.
I hope this helps.

I'm a happy Fire Mountain Gems customer, too. The beads usually come in a labeled vial or on a string, while the assortments are usually in sturdy plastic bags (not ziplocks). I sort the assorted ones out either into my own ziplocks or small containers. I have several bead "tackle" boxes with compartments that I use. Makes a nice TV project. If you have any problems, their customer service is the BEST.

I've ordered from Fire Mountain Gems in the past and have always been pleased with my purchases ... and the condition the merchandise is shipped in.
You can get the craft size zip lock bags, called "bagettes," at any local craft store -- and can use one of their 40% off coupons usually found in your local newspaper or in their email notifications to save a little $$. I find that the bagettes are not too expensive --and I find myself using them for more than just storing my beads! :)
I hope this helps.

no they do not come in ziplock bags but to keep them separated tool boxes with inserts from the dollar store work well or dollar store sells ziplock bags i have used covered bowl shoebox containers there are endless possibilities and firemountain is the best bead supplier i know they have a guaranttee on their products and are always willing to answer any questions you may have i am a jewelry maker and use a lot of beads if you need any help just contact me

Next time you order from them, order the plastic containers or the zip lock bags that they offer. They are a good company to deal with, and I speak from many, many years of experience with them.

Hi! I've been buying from Fire Mountain for years. They do not ship in resealable bags. I have been more than satisfied with my purchases though. Enjoy your new goodies!
