What Is the 7+1 FREE Promotion?
Our 7+1 FREE promotion is one of the best ways to save on your beading supplies. Buy any 7 qualifying items and get 1 FREE — automatically, with no discount codes required.
The promotion works across our full range of qualifying products, including:
- Miyuki seed beads — Delicas, Rocailles, Bugle beads, and more
- Toho seed beads — Round, Treasure, Aiko, and Bugle beads
- Two-hole beads — Tila, Half Tila, Brick beads, and more
The more you buy, the more you save — and the promotion stacks, so buying 14 items gets you 2 free, 21 items gets you 3 free, and so on. Just keep in mind please NOT ALL PRODUCTS are qualified.
How It Works — Step by Step
- Add 8 or more qualifying items to your basket
- For every 7 items purchased, 1 item is added free
- The free item is always the lowest-priced qualifying item in each group of 8
- The discount is applied automatically at checkout — no codes, no fuss
- You'll see the saving clearly displayed in your order summary before you pay
Why Can't the Free Item Be Sold for £0.00?
You may wonder why the free item is not siply FREE. The answer is straightforward: our system — like most e-commerce platforms — cannot process or sell an item at a zero price. Selling at £0.00 causes technical issues with payment processing, VAT calculations, and order records, so it is not permitted.
Instead, the value of the free item is converted into a discount that is spread proportionally across all items in your order. The end result is exactly the same — you pay for 7 and get 8 — but the saving is distributed rather than zeroing out one item.
Why Does My Refund Amount Differ From the Invoice Price?
This is a question we hear from time to time, and we want to be completely transparent about how it works.
Because the 7+1 FREE discount is spread proportionally across all items in your order, each item on your invoice carries a slightly reduced effective price — not the full retail price. When a refund is issued, it is calculated based on what you actually paid for that item, not the original listed price.
A Clear Example
Imagine you buy 8 packs of Miyuki Delicas at £5.00 each (total £40.00). With 7+1 FREE, you receive a £5.00 discount, bringing your total to £35.00.
Rather than one pack showing as £0.00, the £5.00 discount is spread across all 8 packs — so each pack effectively costs £4.375.
If you then return one pack, your refund will be £4.375 — the amount you actually paid for it — not £5.00.
Key Points to Remember
- Refunds reflect the actual amount paid per item, after the promotional discount is applied
- Your invoice shows the original retail price alongside the discount — the refund is calculated from the net (discounted) price
- If you return all items in the order, you will receive a full refund of the total amount paid
- Partial returns are refunded at the proportional discounted rate
- This approach is standard practice across e-commerce and ensures you are always refunded exactly what you paid
