I know some mamas here buy from fabric co-ops, and I've joined a few on Yahoo. So far I've just been lurking, trying to size up the way it works. For those of you who have ordered from co-ops, would you mind answering a few questions for me?
Which co-ops are your favorites? (And if there are any that aren't so good, maybe you could PM me about your experience?)
PayPal... I've been crawling all over their site, trying to figure out how it works.
What exactly is a funded account? And why do I pay more if I use a credit card?
How long does it usually take to get your order? In general, can you request a particular method of shipment? Or does it really depend on the person running the co-op?
What do you do if you aren't happy with your order? Is it just a "buyer beware" type thing?
Thanks for any input, mamas! I so much want to start buying a bunch of stuff from these co-ops, but I'm a bit intimidated about the process.
