You need to really read the description properly before ordering. I usually order when there is a sale or promotion. I've shopped here at the 218 brick and mortar location twice. Today I bought a skinny insulated can cooler saying ope, ope, ope. No, I don't drink white claws. I like Aspire energy drinks. Later yesterday on facebook they had a promo. I paid full price in the store WTH. I sent an email with receipt number and time. They will refund the 20% difference. It helps to be a loyal customer. They used to have a partnership with Sota Clothing. They offer free shipping. I've been very satisfied with my online purchases and shipping is very fast to the metro area. One tiny complaint is there is no bathroom. I was directed to the store next door.

I have been a loyal customer of Anderson Fabrics for YEARS!... but never enjoyed the long drive…read morefurther West from the Grand Rapids area. In search of new fabric for our winged back chairs - I was fortunate to be able to Face Time with Clare. She was able to "show me" what was currently available in stock. She then followed up sending samples of fabric that would compliment our well loved floral chintz couch. I was thrilled to discover a blue swatch would be PERFECT!! I have since had the "tired pink" chairs magically reupholstered - and I could not be happier! Clare provided excellent customer service and I am already hoping for more Face Time visits in search for a new custom bedspread! I would definitely give Anderson Fabrics a FIVE STAR review!! *****

I'd heard about this place from several friends before finding the time and a friend who would make…read morea visit with me. It's about a 45-minute drive from me so it required a planned trip and a few hours of time to spend shopping. What an astounding place this is!! We arrived on a Saturday that happened to be a bulk roll sale day. Not sure how often they have this kind of sale but my friend indicated that we'd lucked out. Any remaining yardage on a bolt was $2/bolt!! All these bolts are LONG length - what is it 72"?? - mostly upholstery and curtain type materials. I found a gorgeous light canvass print in bright bold colors and patterns along with several bolts of purple-ish knit fabrics. I also found a lush velvety fabric - my smallest bolt with only a yard or two. Most of the bolts were 3-6 yards and a couple were upwards of 10 yards it seemed. They all had pretty heavy sizing but my friend washed a couple swatches in some hot water and dried them and they are BEAUTIFUL!!! They softened up real nice and I can't wait to make blankets, tablecloths, shirts, and tote bags from them. The outlet also has smaller cuts - often in weird shapes - of the many fabrics. These are purchased by the pound and, at $2/#, you can find some great deals there too. I found several cuts for a friend of mine. And, there is a bin of mostly white/cream pieces that you can take with purchase - for free! The selection in this bin (actually an old baby crib) is limited and kind of weird for this quilter girl but I found a heavy canvas-type piece that I believe I can use for making rugs. There is a lovely quilt fabric store attached to the custom upholstery side and my friend found a cute panel fabric. All in all, I walked out with yards of amazing fabric for under $23. The staff was VERY friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our time at Anderson's.

I stopped in to have my ring resized before I left the state for the winter months, I quickly realized that the ring was too large. But because I was out of state and then Covid hit I was unable to stop back in .However when I was back in the state able to stop in , I asked them to resize it for me againI was re charged to have it sized correctly. A few months after this service my ring broke in the area that it had been cut to resize. Again I had to stop in for a repair and this time I was not charged. Although I was not charged for this repair I was told they could not guarantee their work unless I paid several hundreds to add extra gold to reinforce the broken area. This whole process has taken several years and I feel that I probably have a ring that is weaker than when I had originally taken it in and it has cost me several hundreds. Sadly, after many years of loyalty to this business I am unable to trust their workmanship and so I will not be shopping there again.
