Ever use a diaper fabric COOP?

[Teddy'sMom]

I have been a member of the Diaperfabriscoop on Yahoo for a while, but have never actually ordered anything through them. I need some PUL and I was considering ordering through them. Just wanted to ask if anyone has used them or has any advice when buying through a COOP. Thanks!

I've ordered some stuff thru allnautralfabrics (SMJAE) She is great, and I got my order about 3wks after I paid.

With co-op's you need to understand that the runner doesn't have the fabric on hand. You are getting discount because you are willing to WAIT. So the fabric isn't going to be to your door in a couple of days. You'll be lucky if it's a couple of weeks, maybe a month or two if you are one of the first orders, and a roll has to be filled.

make sure you are aware of any shipping fees, cut fees or gas fees (to take stuff to the PO) or co-op fees that a runner might charge. Also, asking how much will fit in a Flat rate Priorty envelope or box will help you guestimate shipping to you charges.
