I would not purchase from them, however, until I heard from a Board member who had and it was a good experience.

The tissue papers and paper rolls look especially well priced for those that do paper piecing. I picked up on the English language issues just reading the first few lines on the main page. Think I will stay away from mail order but if I lived close would definitely go take a look.
If you are only looking for thread there is an exceptional thread place near where I used to live in NC. It is called Thread Exchange and they do mail order. There website is here:

Love walking into the place and finding the huge spools for just a few dollars and they do carry big name brands, metalics, kevlar, and glow in the dark.
It sits next to a uniform manufacturing plant and supplies them with all the thread they need for their badges and construction. If you go in you can purchase the ends of the spools for less than $1.00. Some of them are barely used but when they change over from one run to another they just throw what they had been using into a big container and start with new spools the next time. I run by there each time I make the trip back to visit old friends. I have no affiliation other than being a very satisfied customer.

I ordered a small bit but the order didn't go through, keep saying processing error. The store is legit, it's in NYC and lots of general good product reviews online about it. But the customer service was lacking even in person.

As for purchasing from this company, I pretty much look to the suggestions I get here. If no one else has ordered I do not either...money is just too precious anymore to take chances.

From the grammar and spelling on their "about us" section my guess is English is not their first Language. It's curious that everything is $1.00 but I'm willing to spend a few bucks to find out what goes on. Results to follow.
Yep, their 'about us' page reads, well... a little off?
