Do you refuse to buy fabric from shops in your own state?

I try to visit my locol shop here in the lowcountry of S.C but I have only one beside Hancocks. (Idon't care for most of their fabrics) I don;t know if Hancocks has second and third runs and are selling them as if they were discounted.

I would like to say I buy locally and support the local shops but one in town is so drab and most of the people are miserable.. it's like going to a morgue sometimes. Snobbish and boring is how I really think of them and then the other smaller shop is pretty friendly, bright, cheery and fun to visit but limited on what she has to offer...

Our local quilt store was poorly managed and went out of business. We do have a Walmart that carries some fabric, but has a limited selection. The closest fabric store is an hour and a half away, so I buy most of my fabric online from a vendor that offers free shipping. I don't have to pay the tax, but that's not why I shop there; they have the best selection, and will take stuff back if I don't like it.
