I haven't tried fabric from Amazon yet - but they are my go-to place to search most stuff out before I buy anywhere else. I like to know their clout (backing) is there if something goes wrong. And at first we weren't sure about the "prime" for shipping but have found it quite worth while. (Not affiliated - just a happy camper!) :-)

Gee-------where have I been? I order a lot of stuff from Amazon, but I never thought about looking for fabric! Thanks for the info.

I have purchased from Amazon and it comes from other merchants who deal in fabrics.
I have been satisfied.

If I'm not mistaken, Amazon now owns fabric.com. I'd be hesitant to buy anything that wasn't described thoroughly.

I have bought from fabric.com several times and have been pleased with the fabric.

If the fabric is from Fabric.com.... I'd go to Fabric . com website and order there...probably save a little. They have nice fabrics...several of the folks I quilt for use them...and the fabric is nice.

Just looking to order some fabric from Amazon and clicked on a link in the description. This is the message that popped up:

I've bought fabric from amazon and ebay, both sent me very nice quality fabric

Amazon sells for a LOT of company's (I work for a SMALL company & they sell some of our stuff). With that said, Amazon offers special shipping (Prime). The company I work for has shipping charges, but Amazon will bundle things from a number of company's and you pay little or no shipping. This is some thing special for Amazon customers (we don't sell on Amazon, but we do ship direct to Amazon and they sell), hope this helped a little with your question.

If only all merchants would join the FBA program! I don't know how many time I've ordered various items from Amazon to find that even though I had well over $35 to qualify for free shipping, I had shipping charges on other items in my cart sold by other merchants. In fact most amazon merchants I've come across charge shipping and being so far from civilization I shop alot:shock:.
