Has anyone ordered from Tropical Quilts. They had a sale and I thought they were going out of business. I looked at their website today and all of the sale prices are gone and the regular prices are back up. I ordered from them and I'm wondering what's going on.

I ordered from them and got an email from them stating that they got an overwhelming response to the sale and that shipping was delayed up to a week! I guess they changed their mind about retiring...

I got the same email.

I ordered and got an email that everything I ordered was already out of stock!! Oh, well :cry:

I don't know how I feel about this. It's misrepresentation to say you're liquidating and then return everything to regular price. I ordered on the phone and she said they couldn't ship before this past Saturday. I may call tomorrow and if she hasn't sent it I may cancel.

I oredered and got the delay email also.

delay to me too!

I also ordered and got the delayed a week email. It said nothing about being out of stock. If they haven't gone out of business, I got a good deal, but may not order from them again. Because I didn't really need fabric right now, but it was a good price and I will always use it. And I do hope I get all that I ordered.

I also ordered and got the e mail

ditto!

On the site yesterday she had a notice to let her know if you would be interested if she offered marbles and something else so maybe she got a lot of responses.
I'm glad I got what I did of the $2 fabric.

Let us know what you find out. ok

It is possible that someone else has taken over the business. Often times when a business is for sale, they will liquidate what they can and then the new owner makes an offer for the remaining lock, stock & barrel.

I didn't place an order, but this sounds strange......

I ordered and received the same email.

I ordered and got email with 2 week delay. Guess because I'm o/seas.

dang!

some one hack my cr. card so call to tell her i would have to send new card was told no that they were to busy so they can. my orders

I've emailed this lady and she explained that she has only a small quilt shop and had emailed their regular customers about the sale. She hadn't expected anyone to post it on a public forum. Needless to say they have been overwhelmed. She say she will email me when they get to my order to let me know what they have of the fabrics I ordered. She also gave me the option to cancel my order.
Hope this puts everyone's mind at rest.

please its called covering ones a--

Sorry. I didn't order from them. Confused with somewhere else.

I got the same email saying mailing would be delayed. I did not get a message that the items I ordered were out of stock.

Likewise!

i ordered and got the delay up to a week.

Has anyone noticed how wide spread across the U.S. alone have ordered from company? Just goes to show what the four letter word SALE can do.

Oh, boy! I understand her dilemma but I still hope I get my order! I really liked what I picked out...

Got email just now. Order has been shipped! Yay!!!!!!!! Now to see what I ended up with....

I ordered late Sunday evening, got an automated "Click n Ship" email Monday morning, and got my box first thing this a.m. (about 9:30). I was surprised because I've been waiting for some sale fabs I ordered from another online shop 10 days ago!

Harumph! Well they certainly not going by first come first served! I ordered mine on October 1st and am just now getting the "Click n Ship" email :? :lol:

Same here

Havent got the shipped email yet though. She did reply to the email I sent back to her, so Im guessing she has been smashed with orders.
I did order up BIG too, so I hope I get mine soon! I cant wait!

I hope you get your orders soon. I ordered 15 one-yard pieces, they were at least 37-38" and a couple must have been end of bolts because they were over 40".

As Connie McNeely says have you noticed how widespread across the States orders have come from. As they are only a family run on-line store I tend to believe her. Guess I could get my butt kicked but will wait & see.
In the meantime "Happy Quilting Everyone"

I was only kidding in my previous post about first come first served. I was happy to see the email because someone else posted that she was canceling orders because they ran out. :D

It is also possible that the small orders were processed first, since they would be easier to fill and send out quickly, then process the more involved orders.

Now how did you know I was greedy? :lol: :lol: :lol:

i have turned all corr. over to better buss. burea. anyone else that is dissafied should contact their bb.b if you do not have acess contact your att. general of state

Has anyone received their order from Tropical Quilter. I ordered on 9/30. Had gotten the one week delay email. I emailed them a couple days ago, and have not had a response as yet. I don't mind waiting at those prices, but if I'm not going to get them, I need to order from someone else.

Yes, got the delay e-mail first, got a shipping e-mail 7-8 days later, got my order 3 days ago. Got about 1/2 of what I ordered. Very nicely packed and well pleased

Well, I ordered 8-9 items and received 2. She refunded the difference through PayPal but refunded it wrong--it never got put back into my bank account. Now that she did that, PayPal is holding my money hostage--I can only spend it through PayPal. This pisses me off because I am not a regular PayPal user. I didn't get the fabric that I "really" needed/wanted. I emailed her re the fact that I would have liked an email since my order was shorted so much and she told me that if she sent out emails to all 1500 people that ordered from her we wouldn't get our order until 2012! Needless to say I won't be ordering from her again. :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

I just checked my credit card and I was billed yesterday for $43. My order totaled $75.00, so I am not getting all I ordered. I wish I put on my order, "if yardage is short" don't send anything. I'm affraid I'm going to get small pieces of everything. And there were a couple that I wanted for sashing, so if I don't get what I ordered, I'll have to order somewhere else. And yes I had not ordered there before nor will again. But I do hope to receive my order very soon.
