Buying Fabric from Amazon?
Has anyone ever bought fabric from Amazon? I do a free point earning site that I can earn e-dollars to shop online for free. I've never bought fabric online anywhere but online quilt shops. If anyone has bought fabric from Amazon was it good/bad/indiffferent?

I bought some a charm pack that was supposed to have no repeats but instead was two of each fabric. I pointed that out to the seller and they refunded my money and let me keep the pack. I also bought another piece, a panel, and it turned out to be much smaller than I thought, but it was my mistake (it was available from more than one seller and I didn't realize that their piece was smaller than the others I saw). They let me return it for a refund, but I had to pay shipping to return (not much). I bought some yardage once and everything was fine!

Amazon is the middle man. It pays to research the product and manufacturer/seller. I love their customer service. i use them frequently, and for any disappointing purchase, they have made things right with their end of the deal.

I have purchased specific fabric on Amazon and on Ebay - no problems whatsoever. I will look up the "seller" on Amazon (and eBay for that matter) because often they will have the item cheaper on their own website. This is a habit I've gotten into doing on ANYTHING (like airlines & cruises)!

If you look you can find the quilt shop the fabric is coming from. I do buy some fabric on line through amazon as it is quick and easy with next day delivEry if you really want to pay. I always look at postage as petrol cost going to a shop.
I have never purchased enough for a quilt.
