We were there in the city for an event, and we happened to stop there for some large sew on snaps…read more I bought all they have in stock!
I realized, I needed about 55 package more, I thought I have a great supply @ home, from way back when I did sewed a lot. I was wrong! So, I started trying to find them @ any craft or fabric stores closer to town. But Cutter's have the cheapest in the Portland area. I didn't really care for the price in other stores, but I JUST NEED more, and I'm buying every stock ALL stores have. Since I needed about 48 more packages to finish my job, I was desperate & started shopping online, sadly, they're charging up to $7 for a package @ Amazon, when I orig. bought them @ Cutter's for $1,29 a package.
I called the store, explained to her my desperation "and can you order 48 for me?" "The (Dritz) vendor was just here, I'll see if I can catch him!" She called me back, and told me she left him a message. "It will have to be Monday, or when I will hear back from him", she added. (I waited 2 days). She was prompt in getting back with a good news & a bad news. To make the story short, I was satisfied with the good news, they have 20 packages on their way to the store and then left me a message when I could go pick them up! I was really excited, even told her I'll add a Star on my review on YELP, for getting back to me so fast.
30 miles back to Molalla, I went straight to the manager inquiring him about my snaps and are being on hold out in the back room He told me: "you're pretty lucky to get this at a low price since she did looked them up online and she had been charging them TOO LOW!" But after paying for them, and are halfway back home, I found out, she had jacked up the price from $1.29 to $2,79. Fabric Depot or Joan's Fabric were selling theirs $.10-$.20 cents cheaper than that!
So why did they do that to me, when I could have ordered them from other stores?
If it weren't for me, wanting 48 packages more, they would have continued to sell their products @ a lower price, but I gave them a wake up call, so they CAN RAISE THEIR PRICE UP FOR me? Or was that a mistake to raise their price up AFTER I'VE LEFT! But this is not the end, wait till my Credit Card company hears about this one! Not a happy camper!
UPDATE: I called the store & talked to the manager. My box CLEARLY stated how much I was supposed to be charge $1.29 each, and the cashier rung them up by scanning them. I have more orders that's coming up, when I go pick those up, they'll give me the difference and correct the matter! I'm adding them two more stars!
