No problems
June 17, 2020

I was hesitant to order from this company after reading the reviews; they were rated either 1 star or 5 stars. Well, I would give it 5 stars. I ordered online so had no interaction with anyone on the phone or with customer service. I received my order ahead of the expected delivery date. Fabric was cut perfectly straight (not angled like some complaints, leaving customers short of yardage) and my pieces came in one length (not cut into segments). From my limited experience, I would order from them again. My only quibble is that I would have liked the option to order 1/4 or 3/4 of some cuts rather than 1/2 or a full yard.

2 emails did not answer questions I had asked, so I got on the instant chat, and was told there was nothing unusual about my order, and it would ship as ordered. No sooner had I gotten off that conversation when I received an email saying some would not ship. Really terrible customer service, which is too bad because they have a ton of fabric and the website it easy to use.

Shipped same day
May 5, 2016

I had issues with Fabric.com in the past but it seems they have rallied. Last shipment didn't show any movement with UPS tracking for 4 days. However, it ended up being a UPS error as the fabric arrived only days after my order was placed.

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

A wee bit overpriced, but I've ordered from here five or six times within the last year. There has never been a problem with my order, or a delay in getting it. I think the bad reviews of this website are due to people only writing reviews when they have complaints. The exception is presented as the norm. I will continue to buy my fabric here... they have lots of unique things.

Never had a problem
August 2, 2017

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.

I ordered 4 one yard cuts of cotton prints. All were cut so badly that both edges were crooked and off by as much as 3 inches on each end. One piece was 3 inches short. Plus the quality was not very good. I've never had an experience like this before when ordering fabric.

I have ordered several swatches now and placed two large fabric orders. I was reticent to buy swatches at $3 a pop (+ shipping) and was shocked/disappointed to have spent that much for each 8" x 8" swatch -- it is especially difficult to determine what the fabric actually looks like if there is any sort of pattern. I ended up placing two separate orders for fabric (one at the beginning of January and another at the end of January). For each order, they notified me about a week after I placed my order to let me know that they were unable to fulfill part of my order. For the fabric I have received, they cut it very diagonally (not straight across), so it made it difficult for my sewing project and I ended up having to cut quite a bit off of the end. I have wasted way too much time and money with this company. There are better and more reliable companies out there.

I love the selection and the prices but lately the customer service has been very poor. I had to return some quilting fabric because I didn't like the color- that was no problem at all. However, their site says to give them 10-15 business days to credit the account. After waiting more than 15 days, I sent an email to them. Their reply was to give it another 7-10 days! Also, they don't ship within the time frame that is promised on the site. Will probably still order from them because the selection is good. Most times you can find a coupon code online for a discount, too. I've never paid full price.

Short changed!
May 14, 2016

I have ordered many times from Fabric.com. My order arrived quickly however I ordered 9 yards for a quilt backing. They shipped 8 7/8 yards. 4 1/2 inches short! Now I look at their website and they only have 1 yard left! Not enough to make the backing without awkward piecing. I am so disappointed. I will think twice about ordering from them again! Buyer beware!

Fabric.com is the worst online retailer I've encountered so far. I purchased a small piece of fabric on 7/31/2012 and till this day it was not shipped. They simply created a UPS label on 8/7/12 to fool me into believing that it's shipped but UPS doesn't actually possess the package.

Their customer service made the excuse that they are currently moving and therefore all shipments are delayed. They offered no solution to rectify the problem, only asking me to "understand" that they are moving and I may have to wait indefinitely until they are done.

At this point there's no estimate when my merchandise will be shipped.

Complete fail
December 11, 2014

Complete fail. Ordered fleece, received broadcloth. Correct item not in stock any longer. Asked how to return for credit, told to leave on front door step and UPS would come pick it up - NOT! Asked how credit would be issued, told they would have to wait until their f'd up warehouse would receive the package from UPS - Good luck! Seem like this is a shady business. Order at your own risk.

I wish I had searched out reviews FIRST instead of checking after to see if it was just me who had such a terrible time with this company. Ridiculously bad experience resulting in rude customer service people, incorrect charges in their favor, and more than a week of wasted time for a very simple project with a tight deadline - and ultimately no product. Never again.

If you are a quilter and need fabric quickly, do not order from this company. I placed an order. Site said two day processing. So I expected it to at least ship out during those two business days. I order at 9:00 am on a Thursday. I called on Monday and was told it would not even go in mail until end of day Tuesday! "Thursday was not included as on of the 2 days!" Wow, never again for me. One expects mail delays etc. but this is not good customer service.

RUDE customer service
April 12, 2018

There is a customer rep named Brenda and she cuts you before even you can communicate or finish your sentence. I thought customer reps are supposed to listen and help you and not treat you with rude behavior. I experienced this twice! Great fabrics for sure but they really need to look into their quality of "customer care".

I am still waiting for fabric that I ordered on Dec 30!. My package is lost, and all I get from customer service is "did you contact the postal service?". Seriously? Try to do that! They would not help me, had a crummy attitude, and this was after 2 emails went completely unanswered. Bad, bad, place. Do not order from them.

Low prices are nice, but not when you have poor service & are unable to receive what you ordered. After four days of no emails telling me it had shipped, I called. Going out today they said. Later that night I received an email saying I had ordered 14 yards but they only had 13- yes, I replied please send that. Two days go by nothing and I call again. It's going out today. Next day still no email that it shipped I called again. Hmmm not sure why it didn't ship, but it's going out today- with no apologies or concern. And guess what, I just got an email saying they are down to 9 yards now. Cancel order! Shop your local store and try to catch a sale- this site is awful!

The customer service at fabric.com has REALLY went downhill quickly. Many times I've received a confirmation e-mail after purchase only to receive another e-mail four days later that something I already thought I had purchased is no longer in stock or available. Shipping and processing have become much slower as well compared to other fabric shops. I prefer to pay a couple extra dollars for good customer service and quick processing as opposed to no customer service from fabric.com.

Oh man
November 21, 2014

Oh man. Why didn't I read the reviews before ordering... They don't do what they promise, they lie and overall the customer service is poor and rude. The shipping sucks big time. I will never order anything from them again. I haven't even gotten my stuff yet, but I'm already super disappointed.

They took strategy of aggressive FB advertising and promotion. This is the only reason they are still in business. I can not get a simple receipt from them. All and every on-line store emails the receipt immediately, they are the only one who don't. Contacting customer service doesn't help - they pretend they don't understand the inquiry. Looks like they overcharged the credit card by ~$5, and now I can't find the truth.

P.S. Overcharge - is TAX! For out of state purchase! They know that nobody will fight for $5 at the court.
