I have ordered a sewing machine cabinet and the acrylic insert to fit my machine into the cabinet. I have found both to be wonderful! Allbrands shipped my orders out promptly and they arrived sooner than I expected. Other reviews I read about the company have expressed that they were very responsive in dealing with any problems. I didn't have any problems with my order and have saved them in my favorites to use again when I have a need. Good luck.

When I was working I bought embroidrey thread from them for my embodrey machine and yes very reliable, but there is still a fee for shipping, how ever the lower cost of the thread it was still cheaper and if I am ever able to work again I would definitly buy through them again. I hope this helps.

Gilla, I posted about them on another thread. Here's what I wrote:


I really, really advise against ordering from Allbrands. I've had two bad experiences with them, and have sworn off ordering from them altogether:

1) I ordered a bobbin winder from them. When it arrived, I discovered that it did not wind the thread as tightly as I would have liked. I did not know this at the time I ordered, but they do NOT accept returns on opened items (and if you do manage to convince them to accept your return, they charge a 15% restocking fee). I pleaded with them to take it back, because it did not work as expected. They refused.

2) Going against my better judgment, I shortly after that ordered a new metal carriage for long-arm frame -- they were having a really good deal, and I couldn't pass it up. They not only sent the wrong size carriage -- and refused to take it back despite it being the wrong item -- it was also horribly broken in several spots. I talked to the Grace Frame Company, and they made everything right...they're a great company. Allbrands...not so much.

They have some good deals on their site that are tempting, but I've been burned twice now as far as crummy/broken products, and would never order from them again. That combined with their awful return policy just doesn't make it worth it.

Also, you can read reviews on their company at various places online. Here's one example:

Your message came 10 minutes too late. I just ordered a table for $64.99 with free shipping. I can't afford losing that much money and hope they do it right.
Thanks for the info.

Well, fingers crossed :) Some people have had no issues with them, so hopefully you'll be one of the lucky ones...

I have ordered from Allbrands many times and been very happy with both their prices and quick shipping. Customer Service has also been very helpful. I highly recommend them.

On that website there seem to be many dissatisfied customers. But most of this happened in 2006 and 2007. I surely hope they have improved their system and the table will be in good order. The lady I spoke with was very nice. Anyway, if the merchandise turns out to be faulty, I can always get the CC to assist me. I will let you know what happens.
I recently ran into a problem when a LQS overcharged me. When I sent my receipts and documentations to them, they reimbursed me.
