 Sticker Ninja - wow! Thick, sturdy vinyl that feels amazing. Plus loads of pretty finishes - I'm really noodling on what I could do on "Prism Party." They're not *the* cheapest, but for sets of 100 they're not awful, so they're probably my vendor of choice unless I'm buying more bulk (and 100 is my most common amount). I've ordered some new holo [hummingbirds](/hummingbird-become-ungovernable) from them as well as a design new to stickers, [big pidge](/big-pidges).
 
-Also, they sent me a "queer joy is a revolution" sticker in the sample pack. Also also, they seem like they have a great approach to work - they close their ordering on Sundays so they don't come in absolutely slammed on Mondays. I respect that a lot.

 I ordered a sample pack. I saw the discount on 100 holo stickers, realized I should have gone for that, and put in to cancel my sample pack, then ordered the 100 holo PLUS sample pack so I wasn't paying shipping twice. They then canceled my *second* order, of the 100 holo and sample pack, rather than my first. And now it's been 2 or 3 weeks and I still don't have a sample pack, because order 1 is seemingly stuck in printing. Welp.
