After receiving another email today from UPS, stating they had a tracking no. for this order, I received a second email stating this tracking no and parcel pick up had been cancelled and to contact the shipper as to why. my card was again charged for $44.77 also today. Which is why the card was cancelled , they had depleted the money I was gonna use for future orders. According to the site this evening now this order has now been shipped ,( WE WILL SEE) and it was shipped standard shipping which was free because the order was over $35. So far however I have been charged 3 times what my order totaled maybe more!! I quit drinking over 10 yrs ago, but I am seriously thinking it may be cheaper to take that up again rather than play with online stores!
    It would be very frustrating.But drinking costs much more than that and it can kill you and destroy you.
    So stick with online shopping ok?:)
    CONGRATULATIONS ON QUITTING THE DRINKING SO LONG AGO! :thumbup:

    I hope this all works out for you in the end. :-D

    I have never had problems with Fabric.com, that is the only ones I order from and so far, I have been lucky. Maybe someone has to report each and every oversight on their part as with todays economy, there is lots of theft going on . Just a thought.

Site finally says it shipped last night. However ther was no reason to keep debited my card for all these charges. since when does 44.80 become lets charge another 11.97 then 43.78 and then finally another 44.77 I only have one order not 4

    To top this off it was all the charges I was really peed off about and all they did was song and dance me. That is not professional now is it a way to RUN A LEGITIMATE BUSINESS!!

    I have ordered fabric from other sites & have been disappointed but not 'scammed' for money as you have !!! I'd be having a 'screaming FIT' if someone did that to me!!
    I'd make sure I got my money BACK! That's FRAUD, to take your money for something you didn't get!? I have gotten fabric that, once I removed the WIDE selvedge, was only 41 inches wide & I was short for the back of my quilt! Also, have had bad colors. My orders from Joann's online have been good. course, I only order from their sales!
