    Default Is this craft site in Canada legitimate?

    Hi, has anyone ordered from this online fabric and craft store before? It is called fabrics n crafts.
    The site is located in Canada and I have never heard of them. I would like to place a order but I am just a little leery because I do not see a phone number or address. Thanks

    Never heard of them. But, if you go to their return policy you will find a phone number

    There's no visible info on WHOIS (it's all redacted) and their Facebook page hasn't had an update in over a year.

    IP address of 23.227.38.32 resolves to Shopify at a data center in Ontario.

    Google can't find anything on them, either.

    ETA - used number uncovered by cjsews. Appears to be Camelot Fabrics in Montreal Camelot® Fabrics | Contact us – Camelot Fabrics®

    I like to see if they have an actual physical address within the US (or in this case, Canada), and then I google the address. I can't tell you how many times I've found that the address doesn't even exist. Big red flag, IMO. And if they're "too big" to have an actual physical address (think Amazon, Google, etc) then they're too big for me to business with.

    Ditto.

    There was one folks asked about here a couple of years ago where the address resolved to something that looked like a storage unit building.
