I contacted the seller, and she didn't know what I was talking about..I placed the fabrics outside for a couple of hours and today the smell is still there..I even had my husband smell and he agreed, don't know what to do about it
Sounds as if your package rode in the same freight container with someone's shipment of whatever the smell is. If your shipper had value declared (insurance) and it is within the timeframe that sill permits you to file a claim I would suggest that you do. The carrier needs to know it happened. If everyone in that container calls the carrier; they will know they have a problem with one of their shipper's packaging and they can address it.
I am sorry that happened.
