We offer several shipping options:

• Priority Mail.  We generally ship by priority mail (or International Priority if you are not in the US) because other methods are slower and less reliable.  For those using International Priority, one yard of quilt fabric weighs approximately 4 oz. One pound of quilt fabric is about 4 yards.  Please note: We use Click-N-Ship for our priority mail shipping.  This will automatically send you the tracking number if you gave us your correct E-mail address.  You might want to whitelist USPS_Shipping_Services@usps.com to be sure you receive this notification.  For more information about whitelisting your address, read our article here.
• First Class. Patterns and other small, flat notions that will fit in an envelope can be sent by First Class. First Class package mail tends to be a bit slow, so if you are in a hurry for something, choose Priority.  We do not guarantee the safe or timely arrival of items sent by first class.
• Free Shipping to members of the military.  As long as you are using a military address, we will not charge you shipping.  If the shopping cart doesn't recognize your address and charges you shipping anyway, make a note of the fact you are military in the "special comments" section. We will fix it at this end.

We try very hard to ship the same day or next day, provided those are normal business days.   This doesn't always happen! We really work hard to keep stock at hand at all times but if your item is out of stock we may hold your order for a day or two until new items arrive. If we aren't sure, we may ship your order with a notation that other items are backordered.  The picture below shows approximate delivery times.  Please don't count on this as being exact, particularly during the holiday season.

Yes! We use the secure service provided by Americart. To verify this, look at the bottom of the shopping cart. You will see the both the Hacker Safe/Tested Daily Logo and the Verisign Secured logo. Click on them to confirm that they are active and current.

Although we do keep a copy of your order, it is not kept on a computer that is accessible via the internet.

If you are ordering by check or money order, please print out a copy of your order and mail it with your check.  We will not hold merchandise pending receipt of the check, so don't delay!

We pride ourselves on having a 100% satisfaction guarantee. We will accept a return on pretty much everything, including cut fabric, as long as it is in resalable condition and returned within 30 days. You must call first. However, we will not refund shipping unless we made an error and sent you the wrong thing.
