What if they sent you the wrong material? What if the quality they are claiming is not present in the product that got delivered to your place? What if you struck a deal that was too heavy on your pocket? The reasons to feel nervous can be many. So here is a step by step guide on how you should be buying silk fabric online. It will help solve most of the queries plaguing your mind as of now and you will be able to make a safe purchase, guaranteed!

#step 1:  Begin the search

Just open your favorite search engine (google for most) and key in the text “online fabric stores” and hit search. What you will get here will be a list of the online retailers that are considered to be top notch in the industry.  But this will also return the ones that have at least a countrywide, if not global presence. Dealing with the big names in the industries guarantees you against frauds and bad purchases but does not necessarily get you the best prices. If you would rather deal with a local seller, combine the above keyword with your city or area location. The search results will change to offer retailers that are much closer to your location.

#step 2:   Finding potentials

 Next you would like to visit the websites of each of the above options to get an idea of what they are like. The search results on the first page will do the trick generally but in case you don’t find a worthy candidate, try page 2 or try changing the search keyword. When evaluating websites, look for services offered, delivery terms, returns policy , payment modes acceptable and quality assurance. Make a shortlist of names and begin rechecking their credentials by searching for unbiased customer reviews on shopping forums and social media portals. You can search for this by simply typing the url of the site at a fabric forum, yahoo answers, or even the Better Business Bureau (BBB).

#step 3: Finalization

After the above, you will be left with 2-3 potential online fabric stores that are worthy of consideration. On each of their websites, look for the silk fabric you wish to buy and compare prices and service quality. Choose the combination that you think would be most profitable for you.  Remember cheaper isn’t always better. After you know which store is your chosen one, go ahead and place the order. Your consignment should be delivered to your doorstep in a matter of a few days.
