I've always selected from their clearance section. I've bought about 30 yards of various fabrics, all of which have arrived in beautiful condition and exactly as advertized. The neat thing is that they show closeups of every package that they sell. Many are collections of fat quarters, but sometimes they have 10 1-yard cuts in a wonderful sturdy box. They also have a few 3-4 yard pieces and, rarely, some fabrics where you can choose the number of yards that you want. I haven't tried the mystery boxes yet.
