I buy fabric from Amazon all the time. Some of it comes directly from the Amazon warehouse (Kona fat quarter bundles, for instance). It's in a plastic bag then put into the mailing box. When the fabric comes from one of the outside vendors, it's always in a plastic bag inside the mailing envelope. I've had mixed mailing experiences from some Ebay vendors. I've gotten fabric from some Ebay vendors that aren't put into plastic first.

You need to look at the main page of the listing, as right under the name of the item will be listed who is selling it. Different sellers offer different levels of quality of service. Whenever possible, I try to buy items that are both *sold* by Amazon and *shipped* by Amazon. It makes returns really easy. If Amazon is not the seller, then I check the seller's feedback before deciding whether to purchase.
Also, I believe Amazon bought fabric.com some time ago. One of the QB posters mentioned seeing the same fabric on both sites. Since fabric.com offers free shipping with orders of $35 or more, it's always a good idea to check Amazon fabric against fabric.com . I usually also check eBay and bugfabric.com (they carry a lot of older lines of fabric).

I love Amazon.. I have purchased fabric from them and have never had any problems. But to echo what others have said.. they are more of a middle man. That is actually how I found Fabric.com. I saw some fabric on Amazon that was sold by Fabric.com. Now I just look at Fabric.com first. But I have purchased other fabric and never had problems

I bought some fabric that came from Fabric.com. The amazon transaction was fine but I was a bit disappointed with the packaging. The fabric had to be sent on a roll. Because of carelessness the one end of the fabric was crushed inside the shipping container. It was laminated fabric and it was for a rush job. I had no time to return it so I made the best of it.
