    Has anyone ever ordered from www.Silthread.com? I found 3 products that I've been intrested in buying here in town from Joann's, times being tough, I'd be saving over $30.00 but these items prices are better here & shipping is free. Just wondering, it sounds too good to be true which it probable is & if not I'll only be out of $3.00 which I might also not like the items as much as I think I would.
    Would you try it or just use coupons @ Joann's
    Thanks for your advice

    Are you sure the spelling is correct? I tried that website and it went to a domain, not a website that sells thread.

    What kinds of items are you buying? I have often found better deals online at places like http://www.sew4less.com and http://www.redrockthread.com

    Have not heard of this place and their prices seem too good to be true so will be watching to see if anyone has tried them.

    did you read their "about us"..seems like they may have had some issues before.

    what exactly are you looking to buy?
    can you grab a friend and go to use 2 coupons?

    Just took a look around their site. The prices do look almost too good to be true but they are probably importing everything directly themselves which is why the prices are so low. That being said, they may have had supply problems in the past which is what they could be referring to. I've been to places like this before in the City. Just a huge, unorganized warehouse that deals mostly with the trade.

    Depending on what you are ordering, it might be worth a shot to save so much. I'm thinking about picking up a couple of things and seeing how they do. I would try them for such a good savings. $3.00 is not too much. Besides, you might spend more than that just getting to Joanns.

    Yep, their 'about us' page reads, well... a little off?

    I just sent them an email. I don't like that they don't have any telephone numbers that you can call directly. We'll see if they reply.

    The email bounced back. I'm not going to order from them and I would suggest others not as well.
