Re: fabshophop problem unusual

Don't forget that you only have to find 130 of them. I keep a list of the ones I can't find, and I will go back to them if I haven't already found

130, otherwise I usually just forget about them. I don't think finding them all helps in your chances to win. I just started working on it last night so I only have gone to 60 shops. I always say that I'm not going to do it everytime, but I end up doing it, lol.

I got the bunny, no problem, although I have to make this complaint. As I was perusing the site, I noticed a clearance on a prequilted fabric. I happen to need a small amount of prequilted fabric and this one said reg: $22.99 yd, clearance, $7.25.

It wasn't exactly what I had in mind, but it would do for the project, so I went to order it. When you click on it, you get this statement: "Our fabric is priced & ordered in half yard increments"

I found advertising the full yard price and then giving the clearance price in half-yards rather underhanded. Won't be ordering from them any time soon. Too many places around who don't try to put one past you.

I did get to the site, and had no problem finding the bunny on the newsletter page, and nothing shut down down. I didn't have any pop up box come up, and my computer always does that. Send me your email, and I will do it for you.

Howdy!

Hancocks of Paducah does that, too, prices by the 1/2 yard. Don't know what their excuse is, they've always been full of excuses when they've (frequently) screwed up an order. *snerk* However, they do note, as does Allentown Sewing, that the price is by the 1/2 yard. Allentown says "Due to the web hosts limitations, our fabric must be priced & ordered in half yard increments." I'd get a new web host. Most of the online shops don't have such a problem/limit for selling YARDage. I'd also put an apostrophe in "hosts".

Yes, Hancocks prices in half yards, but you order in yards. They are very clear about it. It certainly looked from Allentown's site ad that the fabric was on sale for $7.25 a yard. It wasn't until you went to order it that it said it was for 1/2 yard.

I noticed that Hancocks started pricing by the half yard when prices started going up. I guess they think we are stupid and can't see that it is multiplied by two.

L>Howdy!

Hancock's of Paducah may be located in Kentucky, as I am, but I was very disappointed in their service when I ordered from them. I also thought the prices were higher than the other places I had ordered from but they had this one piece of fabric that I really wanted so I bought several pieces of fabric from them. Shipping was so slow that I could have walked there and gotten it faster and it is all the way across the state from me, a grand total of 400 miles one way and I swear I could have walked it faster and I am not a walker either.

I must be the only person who hasn't have any major complaints with HoP. I hope it stays that way. Their new catalogue is verrrrrry tempting. And since I've already fallen off my fabric diet................. KJ

KJ,

Some people are just lucky like that I just happen to not be one of them at the moment. My day will come again I am sure.

I'd rather be lucky at lottery tickets though. KJ

Howdy!

KJ,

I don't do lottery tickets. I think it is fine for those that can afford it but for me, personally, it is wrong and I see too many people that can't afford it and end up taking out bankruptcy playing the lottery about every time I go to town. Glad I don't go often because I get upset over this and those that I know their kids are hungry.

I have had very few problems with them. I don't usually order fabric since I have quite a few LQS near me so I can touch and feel. Since they all carry different kinds of fabrics, I don't see a lot of duplicates. I usually get all my rotary cutters from H of P since are so much cheaper. A group of us will buy them together so that we don't have to pay the shipping or have to pay sales tax.
