This is just an interesting thread I am so glad that I read it. I love Fabric.com and everytime I "shop around" I always come back to them. I refuse to pay shipping ... and the fabric piling up in my sewing room is the evidence
I love Amazon too I have never had any problems with them. The one time I thought I received bad product the credited me and told me to throw away the item. It makes sense that they joined forces
I have always considered joining Amazon Prime.. and I did it for the 30 day free trial but didn't want to pay so I canceled. I didn't think about using it for Fabric.com purchases. Then I could just get the 1 or 2 yards that I want and get the free shipping from the Amazon Prime.. that would pay for itself and then my fabric pile up might actually stop building up (I say MIGHT - not guaranteed ha ha ha)
I have never compared Fabric.com shipping to Amazons.... I just might have to do that now. Amazon is how I found Fabric.com anyway..
