Shipping has been a nightmare, and certain areas of the country seem to be worse than others. It's a perfect storm of several factors - Covid wreaking havoc in certain postal hubs taking out some 30-60% of the workforce, supplies taking longer because they're coming from overseas, trucking of supplies taking longer because DOT has switched to follicle testing and fired some 30,000 drivers who failed drug tests in 2020. It's across all industries. My husband and I were looking at a new chair, the salesman told us we could get what they have currently in the warehouse in a day, but if we wanted a different fabric or something other than what was already in stock, it would be at least 8 months before we would get it. My mom bought a refrigerator and she didn't get it for 9 weeks.
Green Fairy Quilts is a reputable, ethical company, I don't think you're getting the shaft in any way. I've run into the same issues with other quilting orders I've placed. I just hum the old song "Anticipation" and tell myself it will be like Christmas in February, or March, or whenever I get it. 🤣
By the way - I ordered a few bolts from Yoko Saito's "Centenary" line fabric back in 2017, via my friend who owns a LQS; she went through her wholesaler. Still waiting for that fabric!
