    I can honestly say that i order from these fortnightly and haven't had a problem. When your ordering though you need to read it proparly as it sometimes tells you how many they have in stock (well it always does :D) but on Pre-Order items it will say Pre-order. If your not looking for it then it can be easily missed.
    It's only pre-order items that have taken a few weeks for me to recieve. My latest being their Minky fabrics.
    I wouldnt use anyone else as taking for example the minky fabrics for less than £2 per FQ is amazing :T
    Hope you all get the problems sorted out. Maybe best to email them or re-check your order and look for 'pre-order' xx

    ***shrugs helplessly*** I guess I was unlucky then, none of the stuff I ordered was on pre-order, at the time I ordered it was all in stock. I don't really mind having to wait it was more being ignored that irritated me, I emailed them at least 4 times over a period of 2 weeks without a response!
    It's a shame because the prices are fab and I would probably have ordered a lot more from them if my first experience had been positive! :o

    Oh it's great when it works but other than that- shocking stuff! And DH is incapable of using the side of the box so he fannies around with it and wrecks the roll. So you have a twisted mess where you can't find an end!

    I brought my rip stop off ebay, not sure who it was I brought it off but I found this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RIPSTOP-NYLON-FABRIC-PALE-LEMON-155-CM-X-1-M-/320708201763?pt=UK_Crafts_Fabric_Textiles_SM&hash=item4aabb2cd23

    I put a search for rip stop then went to the lowest price and postage then just had a look :D
