Other than that, if I can't find something locally I tend to order from Fabric.com. It is from the US but the prices are good and the delivery time is unbelievably fast. There sometimes is a duty charge to pay but they ship by UPS so you can pay it online so you don't need money when the driver shows up.
Seriously, my daughter ordered fabric on Monday night last week and it was here before the end of the day on Thursday.
You're so right about speed of delivery for fabric.com ... unbelievable!
When I got back into quilting about 10 years ago, I ordered from them a lot. They have such a vast inventory! Back then, I was never charged duty and brokerage. If I'm not mistaken they used USPS at that time.
Over the years, I discovered Canadian sources for fabrics, and as I noted above, I got really fed up not knowing upfront what a yard of fabric was going to cost me.
