$5 shipping is what stops you? Have you mailed anything recently? Some common sense...consider the cost of your vehicle, gas, car insurance, time spent driving and shopping, makeup to make yourself decent for the public...
You can order 700 lbs. of fabric and they'll ship it for a flat fee of $5. Actually, it would probably be free. There's free shipping if you spend over $100 and 700 lbs of fabric might get pricey. Plus you can shop from the comfort of your home. More time to create. Or do laundry.
The deals are great and I've never had problems with their site or customer service. It's no wonder the USPS is bankrupt. They're not transporting stuff freely, you know. One day...
