Fabricland! Is that website for real??

[AllTheGoodOnesAreTaken]

Is it???

I know people who have ordered from there but yes, the website is shocking. I can't stay on it long enough to find anything

What is shocking about it? Dare I google?

www.fabricland.co.uk/ Bright yellow, random pictures, random sizing of stuff, amateur pictures,...

Oh, I thought you meant naughty shocking.

Get that man a website designer.

Although it is charming in a retro kind of way.

My optic nerves are having to work overtime!!!

but the shops are bloody fantastic. Any excuse and `i'm in there.

Isn't there music on it too? I've ordered from them over the phone, but to be honest I find the website hard work. I'd rather be able to order when it's convienient for me (i.e. not during working hours) and pay online...I know they like the informal personal touch, but really it just looks so messy and doesen't show off the fabrics well, IMHO. Unfortunatley we haven't got any of their shops near me.

I know, I've been to their Reading shop, nothing like the website!

This week I've found Ditto Fabrics based in Brighton. Good selection of fabrics, well priced, samples despatched, friendly on the phone. What more can you ask? That they're just around the corner I suppose!

I had to give up after browsing for a few minutes because I literally went dizzy! I couldn't hear any music but there were animated icons, arrows and letters all over the place in addition to the garish colours, pointless graphics and badly designed layout. It's quite funny in a way but surely they must be losing business. Ditto looks very nice. Another one I've used in the past is Cotton Patch. Service is very good and they have some good offers too: www.cottonpatch.co.uk

Is that a worm by the telephone number?

Lol that's unblievable! I'd like one of those pointy fingers in rl - could be very useful

I'm so glad it's not just me who finds their site unbearable.

I can't stay on there for more than a few seconds- it must surely affect their business.

I hate cotton patch. I've used them a few times. I find their service ridiculously slow. Don't ever order from them if you want something within 2 weeks and they are also arsey and unhelpful.
I have found this to be the case for the 3 times I've used them. I wouldn't buy from them again unless I couldn't possibly get an item anywhere else.

having said that I do have to order from them today, oh the irony!!

Actually I've never ordered from Cotton Patch before! . This is the one I meant to say it's good! www.pelennapatchworks.co.uk/

Would it be very very wrong of me to email them and tell them how horrendous the site is?

Just send them a link to this thread .
You know what, I have this feeling they know and they just don't care.

Ha Ha!!! Its really rubbish...I must admit to never having ordered off their website.

But I have rang them as there depot is amazingly close to where I live, rather than drive to bournemouth or soton. But sadly I can't collect from there, mental!

have you try azkhaban fabrics I think it is? Thats really lush!

i have a headache now.
seriously.
i didn't think i would affect me, but my head hurts.

There's a bizarre link to a massage parlour on the homepage !

You'd think the guy could use a spellcheck too.

My eyes hurt!!

It's nice to look at websites and be reminded of the more innocent days of 1999.

Of course not this is England/ United Kingdom and at this moment still have our glorious Pound."

CuppaTeaJanice, yes there is! Stars use her. Ha! Ha! That's a classic!

Maybe it's optimised for Gopher?
