So true. They send our daily email specials, too. Soooo addictive. I have to have the emails go directly into a folder so I don't spend too much. They do give great service!

I've ordered from fabric.com for many years and have always had fast and courteous service. The one time there was an error they corrected it immediately and told me not to return the wrong selection. If I weren't on No-buy again this year I'd browse their site more often.

So nice to hear a praise report for a change. I always like it when someone goes the extra mile.

Adding that extra inch is just another nice plus from the great folks at Fabric.com. :D

I've had the same experience with my LQS. I had to go back and buy an extra 1/4 yd to finish my project. Why are they so stingy with their cuts?? I can understand that adding an extra inch on each cut might affect their profit, but it seems that they'd be more interested in having happy customers.

That was really nice!

I recently ordered 8.5 yards of fabric for a quilt back from Fabric.com. It was $3.95 clearance fabric. The order went smoothly and the fabric arrived yesterday. I pulled it out of the box, and a small piece the fabric, about 1/2 yard, fell to the floor. I thought they had pieced my 8.5 yard order, and that I would have to piece my quilt back. BUT -- when I measured the big piece, it was a generous 8.5 yards! I can only speculate that the smaller piece of fabric was all that was left, and so they included it in my order.

My tiny stash is now a bit larger!!

I had a similar experience with them. But they added a notation on my bill that one of the pieces I ordered was end of bolt, so they added the extra 1/2 yard with no additional charge. They are my favorite on line store.

One company I never hesitate ordering from. Very good service.

I just placed two orders. One from a LQS and they sent a generous yard piece and the other from Joanns, it was right on the line. Good thing it was pretty much squared up or I would have been in trouble. It is so nice to do business with someone that is a bit more thoughtful of their customers.

I have ordered two times in last month, and both orders arrived within a couple of days. Can't say enough good things about their service. I'll start ordering more often.

This is one of my favs too....they always call if there is any question and they ship quickly! I love to shop there!
