I've ordered from Connecting Threads twice and both time the shipping was terrible.
It took almost 2 weeks to get my order! One time they didn't even ship it for 5 days after I placed it.
In this day and age, that is terrible. Their office is in Washington state I believe, and they must have fulfillment center in the East, like in Kentucky, but my package was mailed from North Carolina......or something strange like that. Like they literally drove to another state to mail it to me. And their fabric was pretty thin my opinion. I won't be shopping there again. I agree with Onebyone..."one chance is all any shop gets to get my money." Even though I gave them 2....I won't be back!
