Happy Shopping With Online Discount Fabrics

By Donald Harris


For the person who has a passion for sewing and quilting, there is no greater joy than going to a fabric store and exploring all the different fabrics. Fondling the soft or crisp fabrics, enjoying the many colors, some contrasting and some blending, and finding that perfect bargain gives a special joy. You might not think you could get the same enjoyment with online discount fabrics, but that is not the case.

There is excitement when you anticipate a special box of fabrics coming in the mail. It can be as exciting as shopping the store. Online shopping can be very addicting. An array of beautiful colors and patterns can encourage your creativity. You may even get an idea to use some of your old stash to match your new ones.

Buying from an online store is often much less expensive than that from the store. They operate with little overhead, so can price their product lower. Even if you have to pay shipping, it is usually still less. Many have free shipping, at least from time to time. Special promotions often are offered for free or low-cost shipping, making them even cheaper.

Shopping online is also more convenient. There are several reasons for this. You can shop in your pajamas if you want. You don't have get dressed and travel to the store. Just get on your computer. You can enter search terms to find what you want instead of having to ask a store clerk and hope they know the answer. You can search by price, type, color, and any other thing you want.

Sometimes items are hard to find and you are forced to go from store to store looking for exactly what you want and at a good price. On the computer, you can quickly click to get from site to site to find what you want. You can even save more time by searching and making a list of several sites to check out.

There are several things to consider before buying online. You should buy from a site that will send samples before buying. Sometimes you may be charged a small amount for the samples. And, most of all, make sure the site lists any extra costs, such as handling charges above the actual shipping.

Make sure that they have a return policy that allows you to return an unwanted purchase. If they don't allow it, be sure they list that on their site and be prepared to have to keep what you bought even if it turns out not to be what you wanted. If there is no return allowed, buy a very small amount and check it out before buying a larger amount.

A major precaution is to be sure they indicate on their site that they don't keep your credit card on file, or keep your personal information if you don't want that. They should also have their phone number and email address available in case you have trouble with the order and need to contact them.
