The first thing that I'd suggest is to tell everyone you know the name of the company so people can avoid them. Having said that, like others have said, you want to return it for a full refund. Whether the smell came from the store or from someplace along the shipping trail, it is defective fabric. Ask to have a call tag or postage paid return label sent to pick up he fabric at the store's expnse. Altho it may be difficult, try not to lose your temper when dealing with the people, or they will just ignore your requests and dig in their heels. If that fails, contact PayPal, they are very good about claims such as this. Just detail all the problems you have had and the company's responses. If you cannot return the fabric and still want to try and use it, place it in a plastic garbage bag with the cheapest clay kitty litter you can find. Open up the fabric and cover it with the litter, shake the bag well, and close up the bag. It should take up the odor. Leave it for a few days, discard the used littler, and repeat if necessary. (Clay litter, altho dusty, does work, as we spilled some gasoline on the carpet in our vehicle, and after a couple of applications of litter directly on the spill the smell was gone and the liquid residue was absorbed. Off topic, but useful, it also works to get rid of the odor from accidents in the car if someone gets car sick!)
