But, with such a large amount of yardage I could see why they want to double check. I don't see this as a negative for their business practice. They're paying for shipping both ways.
i agree the quality of fabric at Connecting Threads is really bad - this fabric is extremely thin and i will only use it for backing on wall hangings (its that bad). i only purchased it because a customer gave me a gift cert.
the fabric i got from Fabric.com is from Marcus Brothers and its amazing quality - no different at all from the LQS - i saved $90 compared to our LQS and i got the exact same quality.
for me Connecting Threads is a negative - if i needed this fabric to start a project right away, it wouldn't happen. i'd have to put off the project and delay delivery to my clients.
thats bad business for everyone and all over a $4 yard of fabric.
