    Please keep us informed and I hope you do have some luck :o

    Looks like you guys are the lucky charm! After the 'strongly worded' email of yesterday my order status has been updated to 'dispatched - partial refund pending' so at least I've been acknowledged at last!! :T

    Hopefully it will turn up in the next few days :D

    I'm not sure if I'd order with them again, we'll see what turns up! :D

    I'd love some recommendations for fabric sites! The more the merrier!!

    I've ordered from efabrics for a couple of years but I've been disappointed recently so I'd love some new, reliable sites / sellers to check out!! I'm totally jealous when people talk about 'local fabric shops' the prices in some of my local shops would make your eyes water

    Thanks everyone :D

    I am looking for a bit of help please. A while ago when I was reading back through the thread I saw this website mentioned for fabric:
    http://printstopolkadots.co.uk/ocart/index.php?route=common/home

    Just over two weeks ago I placed an order and paid by paypal. I have not received my order. I have used the contact form to enquiry about my order but heard nothing. I am not getting worried that I wont receive it. The money was taken from my account a couple of days after I ordered.

    Has anyone shopped with them before and know how long they take to deliver? I will be really disappointed if it doesn't come as it is a present for my dd and I had to cut back on other things to afford it.
