“Completely satisfied”

Brian Y.
5/2/21

Called Customer service Monday morning (4/26/21) to get a few questions answered, no wait, and now that I have the product I can see they gave me good info. Purchased 12 feet of heavy vinyl, ordered 10am Monday, received shipped notice on Thursday and received on Friday before noon (standard shipping, I am on the East Coast so shipping distance not too far). The item is exactly what I expected! Not sure why some have had a bad experience, so sorry to read that, but I am completely satisfied and will remember this store for future needs.

“Go shop somewhere else. Like moodfabrics.com”

Ordered fabric and 8 weeks later still no fabric. Just an email every 2 weeks that the fabric is out of stock. If you have a deadline on a project don't shop here. The online store doesn't have live stock updates. So it's very likely you'll buy something out of stock. Thanks to them I lost a contract and when called to tell them what happened and that I'd like to cancel the order they didn't even apologize or try to fix it somehow.

I ordered fabric for a chair reupholster project. I ordered before reading any reviews. My experience was great. My fabric arrived 5 days after I placed the order, came well packaged on the bolt, was the correct yardage. The price was 40% less than other sites. I'm glad I gave them a chance and didn't cancel my order after reading negative reviews. The only negative I can say is that I signed up for their online account, and the shipping status was not updated. On the other hand, it was a pleasant surprise to find my fabric waiting for me when I got home from work today.

Don't listen to the poor reviews and give this company a chance. I actually cancelled an order when I read some of the reviews only to later learn that this company is 100% responsive, what a mistake! As it turns out, I did end up getting some fabric which was received promptly and beautiful. The material is gorgeous and will be used for decorative pillows, dandelion-yellow. Don't let Covid ruin them.

I ordered some samples that took forever to get to me with no tracking but this was during Covid and it was to be expected And when I inquired, they responded fast with and knew about my order of the samples and was able to give me an eta then. When I ordered the fabric, it had arrived within the estimated time and had tracking. Also when I connected with their customer service via Facebook, I got a response back quickly. I was extremely happy with my purchase and will be buying again

I have ordered from a few online fabric stores and this store was by far my best experience. If I'm going to order fabric online it's because I'm looking for something cheap in price but still decent quality. I ordered 8 yards of crepe back satin and 6 yards of chiffon. Both were top quality. The chiffon was just excellent and honestly better than I expected. My order arrived on a long roll that prevented wrinkles or fold lines. My product arrived within 4 business days of my order. I am so pleased with my fabric and will without a doubt order from them in the future.

Tip for consumers:
Take advantage of coupons and try to order your fabric all at once so you can meet the $50 free shipping minimum

I ran into a problem after receiving fabric, via this site. My yardage was short. Their staff resolved a messy situation, complicated by a lengthy process. I cannot recommend online fabricstore.com enough.

I ordered some upholstery supplies & was more than pleased in every way with price, quality & service, and FREE SHIPPING! Will definitely be ordering more upholstery supplies from them in the future.

I placed an order on 8-8-2016 for 50 raschel bags. (Polyester mesh bags for garden produce.) E-mail confirmation of order arrived 8-9. The product was received on 8-11. The bags were exactly as advertised on the website and there was no shortage of quantity shipped. I would definitely use this e-store in the future.

I placed an international order (Canada) for a Belgian linen that would have been prohibitively expensive for me to order from Restoration Hardware. I did so with quite a bit of trepidation given the reviews on this site and the issues some customers appear to have had with shipping and quality. I even called customer service to make sure that the fabric in question was, in fact, in stock before I placed the order. I expected shipping to take a long time based on reviews, but I was not overly concerned since the project I purchased the fabric for is not urgent. Happy to report that the fabric arrived in under a week! The item is identical to the sample I received and appears to be very high quality (although I have not unrolled the entire 12 yards). I am very pleased with my experience.

Excellent experience. I read all the reviews before ordering and called the company with my concerns. The customer service rep, Charlene, answered right away. She explained that sometimes they have to wait for the product from distributors, but that the burlap I wanted to order was in stock. She also explained that emails sometimes go into a person's junk mail and they don't look for them there and think they are not being answered. So she eased my concerns. She even gave me her direct line so I could contact her for any issues. The fabric was shipped the next day and I tracked it on line with no problem and it arrived in three days. Charlene even told me that I needed to order burlap that had been treated with a vegetable base so that it did not have a petroleum smell. This is something I would not have known to even ask about. My experience was perfect, from the customer service to the shipping time and costs to the end product. I will definitely order from this company again. I feel bad that they have so many negative and not as many positive experiences that people report. Maybe it is just that people who have a good experience may not be inclined to report it, but as for myself, it was great! One other comments as to customer service... Charlene explained that sometimes burlap can be "stamped" with various wording. So, as the burlap is for a beach wedding, she sent a note to the warehouse to say that when the 32 yards was cut to avoid any writing and they did! My experience was a 5 without any hesitation.

Like some others on here, after reading the reviews I was nervous about placing an order with this company. I had received my samples in a week, prior to reading reviews, but found no other alternatives to the fabric I wanted. I placed an order through them on Saturday the 15th and received it today! I was very excited to also get a confirmation email that came with a tracking number, as well as seeing my order was insured. Very pleased with the care they took as well as the speedy arrival. I can't wait to order from them again!

I ordered these burlap sacks to cover my plants in the winter, they were exactly what I wanted and came at a reasonable time with a UPS tracking number. I was a little worried about buying because of all the bad reviews, but everything was just fine.

I have had great luck with this company! Both their products and there customer service were fantastic. I recently purchased 25 yds of fabric to make drapes. They are now hanging in my family room and look gorgeous! Just ordered 3 more yds to make a matching roman shade. The price of the fabric was 1/3 what my interior designer wanted to charge me and the quality of the fabric was much better than the sample her supplier sent for approval. I will always go to onlinefabricstore. Net prior to paying the crazy interior designer prices!

I would like to thank this supplier of goods. I was in a deadline rush and thanks
To their great customer service, I was able to meet a deadline. Charlene Heroux,
Was able to assist me not only with the order. But, communicated with me
3 days back and forth to get the material I needed. She went out of her way to
Call there warehouse to check on inventory to be sure that what I needed would not
Be put on back order and would ship that day to me.
They are an eceptional site. I would recommend using.

Thanks again

Charlene in customer service did an excellent job and helped me sort out exactly what I needed. She came through in a pinch and helped me find the best deal... I'm very pleased, particularly after turning to this site after a very unpleasant experience with Fabric.com. She saved the day!

This is the e-commerce site of Osgood Textiles. I ordered my fabric on Tuesday afternoon, used their free shipping and had my fabric the next Tuesday. I could follow its journey across country via the UPS tracking. I got lucky as the fabric the decorator wanted $53.50/yard was only $11.95 on clearance. I did notice that some of the most negative reviews are from 2011. I'd order from them again.

I almost didn't order from onlinefabricstore.net after reading the reviews below. But I'm glad that I did order from onlinefabricstore.net because my experience was great. I would order from them again. I got a great price on my fabric, the fabric arrived within 2 weeks, and the quality was perfect. Thank you Onlinefabricstore.net!

Just received my Waverly fabric. I can't believe how beautiful this fabric is for the price I paid. My shopping experience was very pleasant. I spoke with Jean who was very helpful and knowledgeable. Received my order in 2 days. Everything was just perfect. So glad I found this web site!
If you're looking for any kind of fabric at a very reasonable price... you definitely want to visit this website.

I have ordered fabric from them many times, always good prices and good service and prompt delivery. This time I needed extra attention as the fire chief had asked for a fire flame certificate before I purchased a particular fabric. On Line Fabric Store's customer service follow through was exceptional. Every day they let me know where they were with obtaining it from the manufacturer and after two weeks of them contacting and following up with the manufacturer they came through with it. Kudoos to the great time at On Line Fabric Store. Good customer service i what makes u all keep using a company and what makes a company successful. My special thanks to Charlene in Cutomer Service at Onlinefabricstore.net

This is the first time I ordered from this company. I was a little apprehensive because of the reviews I had read and my friend never received what she had ordered. I am SOOOO GLAD I went ahead and tried! Not only did I get EXACTLY what I ordered, I got it in LESS THAN 3 days (I paid for the 3 day express)
I DEFINITELY got my money's worth. I am VERY pleased with this company and will order again.

This is a relatively new site and I couldn't find much in the way of reviews, so I was a little hesitant, but.
I knew exactly what fabric I wanted and also how much it cost retail. InsideFabric.com had it on sale for about $10/yd less that my upholsterer could get it! Over a certain price, the shipping was free. I placed my order online on Saturday and the fabric was at my house the following Thursday. Pretty amazingly perfect shopping experience - and I saved over $300 on th e30 yards I bought!
