I ordered from this site several times. I can't say that they filled my orders perfectly but still it was within acceptable limits. They have a very nice selection of fabrics. Some delays and minor issues happen from time to time but it happens with any online store.
Awful customer service. I did not receive what I ordered as it mysteriously sold out 5 days after I paid for it. No resolution offered other an explanation of their policies. Do not waste your time, money and sanity.
I am totally gobsmacked by this website. I came across fabric.com from some pins on pinterest, I saw that their range of material was amazing and had some really different stuff compared to what we can get here in Australia. My mum often finds it difficult to find nice materials to make skirts from. We had none of those issues here! And to boot I was able to buy NFL team fabric which is also not available here!
The order was ready and shipped 4 days after I placed the initial order (Dec 30) and arrived on our doorstep via UPS today (Jan 2) I expected it to be at least another week. After reading some of the reviews on here after I ordered must admit I was sceptical about our order, but after this amazing performance I have complete faith in the team at Fabric.com and would order from them again in a heartbeat. Thanks Fabric.com
I've been using Fabric.com for over a year. I recently placed an order and received an exception stating that one of the fabrics I chose was no longer available, for me to choose another one. Lace is hard to duplicate with size of pattern, color and price point. I found one that was 22 cents more and they told me I could not sub for it because it cost 22 cents more. Are you kidding me? This was my 4 th purchase in 2 weeks ( I'm working on a project) any way She wanted me to cancel and reorder, I had 4 other fabrics on this order. Well I canceled all right! Did not reorder and probably won't after their treatment and service. So Disappointed
After being a customer for a few years and ordering many swatches and yards of fabric to be delivered to Australia I had never had a complaint. Imagine my astonishment when on ordering 2 swatches the shipping was calculated at almost $30. I have never paid more than $4.00 previously. I emailed customer service and was told shipping was calculated by weight and I tried explaining to them that a swatch weighs almost nothing but they didn't look into it for me even though I knew their calculations were wrong. I have since ordered 3 swatches from another USA company; 3 swatches plus delivery for $12.00 Australian dollars. Fabric.com don't give a hoot so they've lost me.
I ordered 27 yards of fabric. It was on sale for 25% off. After the confirmation and the shipping notice, Whoops!. "We are moving our warehouse and your selection is out of stock." there were 110 yards in inventory on the day I received this on both Fabric.com and Amazon.com.
E mails to customer service are not returned. I suppose if I am willing to pay full price, they will deign to sell this fabric to me.
Stay away.
Fabric.com was my worst experience with any online merchant. Over the course of one week after placing an order, I was sent three emails from Fabric.com cancelling an item I ordered. Their customer service did not respond to my emails. This was my first and last time doing business Fabric.com.
Although they have a great selection of fabrics and fair prices, what is the point of wasting my time selecting fabric that I never receive?
I had to give them one star, but they deserve a rating of zero stars.
Slow communication and even slower shipping. And why I receive an email 5-7 days after an order goes through to let me know the fabric i purchased is out of stock! I should be notified within 1-2 days! Now that they no longer do reward points, i have no reason to shop here anymore
I've ordered from them several times and never had any problems. Fabric was high quality, orders were shipped correctly and in good time, and the cuts were fairly straight with a couple extra inches measured just in case.
My only order though Fabric.com is not going well. Aside from being bombarded with email solicitations, 1. My order was never acknowledged, 2. My email inquiry was not answered. 3.My telephone call was met with hostility, 4. I was sent to voice mail when I asked to speak to a supervisor 5. My added $40 payment for one day delivery should arrive in 7 days. This company leaves lots to be desired. It's not for me.
To say that I was nervous to place an order at Fabric.com after reading these reviews would be understatement of the century for me! However, I could not find this cute of fabric anywhere else (Sea-themed alphabet, for my nursery) and decided to roll the dice. I was relieved and delighted that my 6 and 1/2 yards of fabric arrived clean, in one piece, early and exactly as pictured online. Just wanted to share my positive experience for others' consideration.
Since this company shifted to a new premises all 3 of my orders have had an error (wrong fabric or amount). In the first instance customer service responded and kindly resolved the issue to my satisfaction. In the second and third instance Customer service will not respond to my emails. I can't call them because I am located in Australia. I feel that they have put me on some kind of "dodgy customer, do not respond list". Very sad about this because I love the selection, price and quality of the fabrics I have received so far (except for the lime green cotton that should have been pink!)
I placed an order from their Friday sale on August 6th and used Amazon Pay to pay for it. By August 13th I still had not received an order confirmation or shipping information so I called customer service to find out that my order never actually went through, but they still charged my credit card linked to my Amazon Pay account in full (just under $200). The person I spoke to said they spoke with a supervisor and the refund was being expedited. Yesterday I receive an email about a $16.00 refund, so I called first thing this morning about it, only to find out that this refund was from shortages from my previous order made in July. I was told that while my larger refund was escalated to a supervisor it would still take another 7 - 14 business days to process. That with the delays of 7-10 days in packing and shipping orders is enough of a sign for me to close my account here and take my business elsewhere.
Maybe don't charge the credit card until you have the order measured out and packed like other fabric stores do.

My wife ordered some fabrics and some yarns. Fabrics were shipped quick and received quick. After a week or so they sent an email regarding one yarn being out of stock and refunded the money. Month and a half later my wife asked me about the yarns and i realized we didn't receive any info about those. I wrote an angry email which resulted in them emailing me the next day with "sorry, items are out of stock" and asked if they should refund the money.
Is it just me or they tried to steal few bucks by ignoring me for more than a month?
Fabric.com is a great site. I use it to buy apparel fabric, which is hard to do online, but when I've received something I've ended up really not liking, they accept returns, no questions asked! Brilliant! What made me come here and take the time to review them was that I just received an order that was wrong- I ordered a piece of swimsuit lining fabric and received some leopard print stiff cotton fabric instead, for some reason. I sent them an e-mail about it and they put in a replacement order and said that I didn't have to send the wrong fabric back, to keep it and use it or donate it to a sewing guild or something. I thought that was amazing. So even though they messed up my order, I still say their customer service and return policy is one of the best!
This place claims they have fabric in stock but then weeks after you order it they email you saying you need to find a substitute. There is no substitute for the fleece I buy from them for my store! Three times they've done this to me. They used to be reliable with fast shipping but the last year has been horrible!
Customer Service don't try to help - instead "I do apologise, but i am unable to make any recommendation' and 'I do apologise ma'm' when I asked some questions about different types of fabric. I know this is a way out suggestion: but maybe they should train their staff in some product knowledge?
I've been ordering from Fabric.com for several years and have always been pleased with quality and processing of purchases. So great to be able to order from home online... I really don't miss the hassle of going out to a fabric store browsing through the isles of fabric... I just search online with Fabric.com and haven't been disappointed or made a poor selection yet. Waiting this date on a new type fabric purchased to use with crafting! Just one thing... would enjoy a coupon once in a while!
You place an order for fabric supposedly in stock... then nothing. No fabric no communication. This place stinks! Horrible customer service. When I called after 2 weeks of no shipment they were like whatever on the phone. Like I had done something wrong. Will never order again! Wish I had seen all these reviews first!
While they advertise low prices if you choose to order less than a full yard of fabric the advertised price per yard will be increased 75% to calculate your half yard price. Many quilt patterns require many less than full yard cuts of various fabric. I find that a shop that forces me to buy more than I need in order to take advantage of their pricing is a shop that is taking advantage of me. Over the past 3 days I have purchased 26 yards of fabric--none of it from fabric.com. There are hundreds of online fabric shops with better prices, faster shipping and stellar customer service. Search for them.
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.
