Worst location Dufferin and Steels

Worst location Dufferin and Steels, Toronto. It happens that the managers are very rude and always protect hardly working personal that are lazy and not helpful at all. The prices are too high, selection is poor. During the COVID they hired a security Indian woman that assaults the customers starting the fight and pushing them from already empty store!!!!! Fabric Land becomes the SHAME of the city!!!

Hi there, this review is for the Canadian Fabric Land, which we are not affiliated with in anyway.

Fabric Land UK is an entirely different business under different ownership.

I sewed professionally for 40 years and got my first Fabricland membership card 37 years ago. I've probably spent close to $100,000 there. So, last week I lost my card, which had 3 months left before expiry date. Apparently I now have to buy a new one. I complained via email and was told they'd generously let me buy a new one for only $20. Which is exactly what I pay annually at the seniors' rate. The next closest fabric store is 45 minutes away but, so what. A customer since 1983, but I'm done with this outfit.

Their website is broke

Their website has blocked me because apparently I was 'requesting a file that doesn't exist' too many times, even though all I did was add things to my basket.
Guess they don't want money. *shrugs*

Quick delivery, just what I wanted

Ordered on Bank Holiday Sunday.
Arrived on Thursday, all nicely rolled up and just what I wanted.

I'd forgotten what it felt like to get everything I've ordered, so thanks to all at Fabricland.

Was not impressed I completely understand it was my fault but I rushed out earlier and forgot my face mask and hadn’t realised until I got down there all I needed was ribbon for my daughters hair which was 28p maybe which I had the right money of I just explained at the door and I said could I just ask here all I need is hair ribbon and the lady got all funny and said how do you pay then the till is there. I’m not being funny but all she had to do is take my 30p and grab me some ribbon the till isn’t to far away surely. Now I have to go back tomorrow 🙄 I will be shopping online from now on. It was in the Bournemouth store. I Work in retail my self and didn’t think that was a big deal I was stood outside by the door.

Poor advice and couldn’t care less customer service

Hugely dissatisfied. Called to check fabric suitability and required length and was ill advised . Was not informed about delay in receiving order took over a week when they stated 2-3 days. Extortionate postage and left with 4.5 m of fabric not fit for purpose. Not open to return, as they’d be left with a remnant. Albeit a large one !
Shoddy operation to be avoided at all costs.

HORRIBLE company

HORRIBLE company! avoid at all cost!
I've placed an order online and after one week of not hearing anything back (no email, nothing), I called them and was told that the payment hadn't one through.
Well, for starters, the account was in the black (I had just ordered on Amazon with no problems) and there shouldn't have any reason for this. Anyways, the woman on the line told me that she could take my card details and type them in manually and so she did after I supplied her with them. Another 4 days of hearing nothing from these jokers and I called again....guess what? "The payment hasn't gone through"....sure, I belief everything you miserable amateurs tell me (again, the account is in the black and again, as we all do at the moment I guess, I had ordered from Amazon just prior to that).
These people aren't capable to conduct business and this first attempt to order from them is my last.

Beware the descriptions!

I have ordered from Fabricland and overall have no complaints about their service but the two honest reviews I wrote about the description of two products that were not as described have not been published on their site. My conclusion is that customers are not getting a true representation of the products they are purchasing. Examples: Plastic tablecloth described as PVC 'fabric' and 'Anti static' dress lining being extremely static. Is this an oversight or dishonest?

Wish I had checked reviews on here…

Wish I had checked reviews on here first. Terrible quality material, not as advertised and no refunds given despite ordering a full 25m which surely they could resell they argued it was a ‘bespoke’ length. The person on the phone was extremely rude and unhelpful. Avoid at all costs!!

Great fabric and prompt delivery!

Great fabric and prompt delivery!

Really good, affordable fabric which arrived promptly. I have had several orders now and although one was slightly delayed - during peak of covid-19 - every other delivery has been very prompt.

The delivery that was delayed I emailed and received a reply very quick saying it had been dispatched and arrived the next day. Very helpful and would definitely recommend using this company to others.

DON’T USE THIS COMPANY !!!

The Portsmouth shop is apparently shutting down which is no surprise as other shops have also shut down and unfortunately it is all down to poor senior management and customer service.
Been waiting for my order to be completed for 4 months as I keep receiving wrong items, can not understand why it’s hard to measure 5 metres of cotton drill been sent 3 metres of plain cotton twice???? Tried contacting Fabricland for an explanation by email but no response I then a few days later made many phone calls to them ,eventually did get to speak to someone who told me to have more patience and said it will be with me within the week, that was two weeks ago. Had enough of the rude and incompetent staff now I’ve asked for a refund so I can take my business elsewhere.

Terrible customer service.Expensive delivery. Recently ordered some fabric (cost £14) and paid for quick delivery (£7) which was supposed to arrive within 2-3 days.
1 full week later, still no order so I emailed them which triggered a 'your item has been despatched' email. Obviously they had forgotten, which is fine, under the current circumstances, but when my parcel arrived (with a next day courier) it was damaged- 10metres of interfacing stuffed into a small carrier bag screwed up and ripped.
I emailed them to complain, again, no response. Buyer beware.
