Question for those in Germany/Europe
Polly Esther wrote:
I've told this story before but I do enjoy the tellin' of it. Let me do it one more time. Back when I was first learning to buy fabric online, www.fabric.com was just beginning too. They shipped in 'overrun' boxes or whatever they could get their hands on. One day I mentioned to DH that my fabric.com package was way overdue. DH said, 'Did I tell you that a box of sausage came in and it said freeze immediately? I put it in the freezer.' There it was. My lovely quilting fabric from fabric.com was boxed in a Jimmy Dean Sausage box and very carefully placed in the deep freezer. We have come a long way. I know where to look for missing mail. Polly The folks at www.fabric.com *still* ship in whatever sort of box is available!!! I had the same thing happen to me and remember that they are located right here in Magnoliaville, about a 45 minute drive from me. Not sure *what* sort of box one of my shipments came in but I think it was some sort of computer box ANd there was no printed shipping label, just a hand written address. I thought it was DH's stuff so set the box aside -- he was gone on a business trip at the time. I was frantic to have my fabric for a project I was in the midst of and so got online and checked to see what the ship date was. The order had shipped almost a week past so I KNEW it should have gotten here. When talking with DH I finally asked him *why* he ordered stuff and had it shipped to me. He insisted hadn't ordered anything so I *finally* got the bright idea to check the postage label on the box and see where it came from. When I saw Marietta, GA printed on the postage label, I finally got the bright idea that it was my fabric -- LOLOL. My most recent order was shipped in the ubiquitous heavy plastic bag with a real shipping label with the Fabric.com name on it. VBS, it was rather fun to see what sort of box they would use but using the plastic bags cost less to mail. No more box surprises from www.fabric.com :-).
