I ordered my fabric a month ago and still haven't received a confirmation email that it has been shipped. I sent them an email 4 days ago and still have not received a response! Horrible customer service. I will not be using this company again!
If you are ordering fabrics for draperies be very aware that fabric.com will not guarantee that they will send the proper yardage in one piece. Then when you call for help they are very polite in telling you that you are out of luck and you can reorder. Will not be ordering from them again.
I'm shocked by all the bad reviews. I looked them up to give them a good review, but now I think I was very lucky. I ordered 5 types of fabric, and received all but one of them promptly with confirmation emails and shipping notifications.
And while one of the fabrics was different than what I ordered, I was pleased that they responded so quickly to my email. I got a new beautiful fabric as well as the one they mistakenly sent. The thing that I liked most was there customer service. The email was courteous, and they were very quick to remedy my problem.
I ordered several items, both fabric and notions and recieved all items I ordered, as described and in a timely fashion. I suggest you read carefully the descriptions and measurements on the fabric, some come per piece or a shorter width on yardage. This was my first time ordering from them and I will definitely order again. Everything was good quality and packaged very nicely. I did not know Amazon owned the company, but I love shopping with Amazon too so I was happy to read that.
TERRIBLE customer service! Do not order from this site! The first time they sent me the wrong fabric and then offered me a 10.00 credit. Then the second time I waited 1 week and 4 days for status on my package to find out that fabric I ordered was not in stock. When I placed the order it said 70 yards were in stock. I asked them to replace my order with a similar fabric that was a dollar more per yard. They asked that I pay the difference! I contacted customer service 3x to speak to a manager and they said they were not available. Finally I the lady told me all she could do is give me a credit again and fabric comes in on huge bolts so there is just nothing they can do! I was told the manager was busy and she asked me what exactly I was trying to accomplish by speaking to a manager. Ridiculous! Terrible customer service, do not order from this company!
I ordered yarn from fabric.com. My order was processed the next business day and I received the shipment within 3 days. The order was completely correct and the prices were much better than they are in walk in retail stores in my area. I would definitely order from them again.
People consider yourself WARNED! I order several $1.75 samples, and 7 days later I am just now getting a shipping notification. I am scared to see what I will be receiving. Not to mention, they have a chat option on their website, and no one ever answers it. I got one answer after attempting to contact someone through here probably 10 times, and whoever answered was SO SO SO RUDE. Never again, may sample order was a waist, because I will never order through here again.
I ordered 6 yards of fabric. I was emailed a message stating they could only give it to me in 2,1.5, 1, 1, & 0.5 yard pieces and I had 24 hours to reply by email if I wanted a refund. I immediately replied that I wanted a refund because I can only use 6 continuous yards or 3 continuous yards x2. I got an automated message back saying they would respond to my email shortly.
A couple days later I got a shipping notification. I emailed them immediately to say I did not want them to ship. I wanted to get a refund because I could not use the pieces. They sent the same automated reply.
Now I have all these pieces of fabric I can't use and they still have not refunded my card and have yet to reply to my request for a return shipping label. I have never reviewed a sight online before, but I have never been this frustrated, either.
Glad to see I'm not the only one with issues... I returned a sewing foot and was told my customer service that they credited my account on April 5th but there was no credit on my credit card statement. I've called twice for them to research and get back to me with no response. I've finally had to initiate a chargeback with my credit card. Customer service is horrible, would not recommend.
Every time my wife has ordered from them, the transaction has been positive. The only issue I might mention is I wish there was a way to limit the search results as to what is actually available. Seeing a bunch of fabrics listed as not available to order is not helpful. Otherwise it was a positive experience.
They used to be a go to source for me, but not any more.
#1: The selection - I can find similar fabrics and products at my local Joanns'. Long gone are the quality fabrics I used to buy and I bought LOTS!. I had a $50 coupon earned -take a look at how much you have to spend to get that!
#2: the customer service. I used to get a name when something was up with the order.Not anymore! Just a mass generated blah blah blah. I miss having a name associated to customer service. A big shout out to "Bridget... I miss you. I hope you found a better job!
# the prices are no longer competitive. I don't find any bargains and I now spend my hard earned money at Fabric Mart. Great Quality, Great selection Great Service.
Fabric. Com can go away, hopefully soon!
Shipping took way longer than it was supposed to and I even called several days after it was supposed to have shipped because it was no longer going to arrive in time for the needed event and I couldn't cancel or anything. Only order if you don't mind waiting months for your fabric.
My first time buying fabric from this particular company and it was not the best. I paid for a certain yard for each piece and they definitely cut shorter than I paid for. For example: I bought 3 yards and received 2 yards and 12". Not cool. If I bought 3 yards it was for a reason and I want what I paid for. I will make sure I tell my sewing group to beware because this is misleading
This place is terrible! I ordered 11 skeins of yarn. They immediately took payment yet I received no shipment confirmation. When I inquired 5 days after submitting the order, I was advised they only had 5 skeins and offered to substitute. I immediately cancelled the order and requested a refund by email. I followed up with them by phone and confirmed that the order was cancelled and that the refund had been processed. Today, I week later and no refund I called and was advised that my refund was never processed and it is now being escalated to a priority. Seriously? They should have NEVER taken the payment they did not even have the product I ordered and now 2 weeks later I still have not received a refund. It took them less than 24 hours to take my money and 2 weeks later I still don't have a refund or the product. Horrible company, horrible customer service.
Received my package RIGHT AWAY. One item was not what I wanted, (my fault as I didn't see it was fleece when ordered). Customer service rep was condescending and rude, telling me if I just read the discription I would know. Purchased through amazon, my husband's account, she needed to speak with my husband before authorizating a refund so I put him on the phone. This upset her also, stating afterwards, if I want to use his account I need to contact amazon and add myself to his account first. Very strange, since the order came with papers stating free returns, money back guarantee, but the rep seems to act as though she was on some power trip. Should be a simple process
I always prewash my fabric never thought of checking fabric width of 108" for quilt back - laid out quilt and it now measures 97" so not enough fabric to use for this quilt. They can't do anything for me since I have prewashed. No way has it sprung 11". Won't order again from them.
I ordered just shy of $200 worth of fabric from Fabric.com, and it was the worst! I ordered 2 yards of a top dollar cotton fabric and received it in 3 pieces, 1yd, and two 1/2 yard cuts. I ordered a couple cuts polar fleece that was stunning on the page and drab and what I received was drab and washed out. I order 2 items that were sold as minky, but were only soft when one side was rubbed with the nap, not at all the other way, and the back side was similar to the underside of upholstery fabric. They don't even know how to fold the fabric, with the bigger cuts just basically rolled up. Never again!
My order was delivered within the given time frame on the earlier side. The fabric was exactly what I ordered and I'm pleased. My order said processing and it shipped out at the correct time. After I placed my order, I saw so many bad reviews so I wanted others to know my good experience.
I ordered 2 items from Fabric.com One of them was out of stock and Fabric.com were very quick to refund the cost of that item and its postage - great customer service. The international delivery was very quick. I would definitely by from Fabric.com again.
Ordered a quantity of a certain fabric, we are a large company when the fabric arrived it went straight to the Upholstery shop to have pillows made. When we received the completed pillows we then noticed that Fabric.com sent the wrong fabric. Made contact with them and the only response was sorry we can not take returns on altered fabric. Really how about sorry to hear that we screwed up and how can we make it up to you can we send out the correct fabric at least, but no nothing.
Answer: Hawthorne Threads is great.
Answer: Im using them for almost a year but no more... they keep sending me 25 % discount almost every week to gain me back... NO WAY! Yeah i order atleast 2,000 each order... total loss for them... until now they still awe me money for the fleece fabric i order long time ago, when i order it it has 50 yards of it, after 10 days they gonna tell me its out of stock, waited for replacement, until now no replacement... i got a lot of horrible experience with this company,,, dirty fabric that looks like somebody use it to rub on their body... really really sucks!
Answer: My business is making curtains. I have dealt with this company for the past two years and I think the customer service department is doing the best they can with trying to making it look like the company has it together. They do not have it together at all. There is no excuse with the volume of business that they do that they cannot afford a system that can tell you immediately an item is out of stock. I cannot tell you how many times I have purchased fabric from this company only to learn three days later that it is not in stock. Then they hold the rest of your order for another three to four days after you answer an email telling them to continue to ship the rest of the order. I have had fabric arrive to me balled up in a box that they didn't even bother to put in a bag, I have had fabric with shoe prints on it in the middle of the bolt or pieces of fabric missing from a ten yard order that were cut out of the middle of the ten yards. I am trying to eventually not use this company at all anymore as they don't have a clue as to how to treat customers or just don't care. The only problem is they have run all of the mom and pop online fabric stores out of business with lower prices (this was maybe two years ago) and the smaller businesses couldn't keep up with them so they closed. Now that they have the market they have raised their prices because they have very little competition out there. If you leave a good review for this company you are one in a million that have had a pleasurable experience. Just because you bought from them once and don't have a complaint means nothing, consider yourself lucky.
Answer: It's a US website, so they'll take the money in US dollars, but if they take orders from Australia your bank or payment processor will have to convert the currency according to the current exchange rate and I think they may also charge a fee for doing this.
Answer: Thank you so much for your inquiry. Please feel free to send your contact information to edhr@fabric.com, and I would be more than happy to forward it to the appropriate people.
Answer: You would have been better off contacting fabric.com directly. It doesn't look like they even know about this website.
Answer: I would call or email them, including as much detail as you can... order #, what fabrics were ordered and approximately the time of the order. Have never had this happen to me from Fabric.com, have from another online site and was lucky that I got the help I needed. Good Luck.
Answer: As a customer of theirs, almost an ex-customer of theirs at this point, I can honestly say they have made absolutely no changes for the better in my case. They have paid absolutely no attention to any of my issues with them, which is why I'm about to become a former customer.
