I ordered an item from Nancy's Notions, waited a week and then called them. They told me the item was on back order and wouldn't be in stock until January! Why in the world didn't they let me know? I cancelled it...
I ordered from Joann's on Sunday and have heard nothing. I also ordered from a quilt store via quiltshops.com and got that order yesterday. I'm in no hurry for the Joann's stuff - thank goodness!
I got my Black Fri. order from MSQ on Thursday, but I had ordered at midnight for the DD and some other things in my wish cart. Connecting Threads had a sale on batting until Nov 26th so I ordered that night along with some fabric. Got that order a few days ago too. It wasn't worth me waiting as I needed the batting and it was at a good sale price. I'm waiting on an order from fabrics.com. It would have been here already, but they didn't have as much as I ordered, so told them to send what they had.
So far, my orders online have been great and I've had free shipping on most orders. I love shopping in my slippers and not having to go out in the cold. To tell you the truth, I think some of the online sites I shop for fabric had nearly the same deals before Black Friday, so I took advantage!
Good Karma must have come to visit briefly - Joanns has shipped my batting. Have to wait until Monday for any word on Connecting Threads.
My M* order placed early on Sunday has not shipped yet, I am getting a bit anxious.
I really shouldn't comment on this thread....
I love this forum it's my happy place. We are military stationed overseas and wait 2-8 weeks for a package. I'm not going to rant further ....be thankful, a week really???
IT isn't the time it takes for the shipping of the item, we are talking about the time it takes for the order to be filled and then shipped. Once shipped it is up to the USPS or FEDex or UPS...but as in my case too...the order hasn't even been shipped from the store yet. I called the one place and they said it was shipped yesterday and didn't know why I wasn't notified. Really? It wasn't in my order history and they said they didn't know why! Yet they have my CC number listed there on my account. I don't think any of use would be "complaining" if the stores had just given us some comment as to the status of the orders.
I am still waiting for a shipping confirmation from Connecting Threads and M*.
Hancock finally shipped my Black Friday order a week after I ordered it. It is probably still a week out. When they did send a shipping notification, it did not come from a source that was identified as coming from Hancock Fabrics. For some reason, that irked me almost as much as anything. It looked a lot like phishing spam.
Thankfully, the items that are still in limbo somewhere are not going to require piecing and quilting before being gifted!
I hope everyone else's orders arrive in enough time! Grr! According to Em, I still have 16 days before Christmas.
:icon_rolleyes: This should be such a good reminder to get my gifting done early.
