Day To Day Textiles

Rude!

Horrible, avoid at all costs. They were completely dishonest and when they rang me up it was 95 bucks for 3 yards of fabric. They claimed it was the high quality, not even. More like the highest priced. Should have walked out of the store but got sucked into buying it. Will never go back.

The service in this shop was so horrible that I was actually amused, but you should definitely not buy anything here. I was assisted by a tall thin older Iranian man who was incredibly pushy and seemed to get angrier and angrier that I hadn’t bought anything yet; he actually complained out loud that people who only wanted small quantities of fabric (as I did) were much more trouble for him than people who had large orders. He said he would offer me a «special price» on everything, and I made the mistake of telling him that I never bought fabric so he assumed that I was an easy target.
I found a fabric that I liked very much, and he said that for me he would reduce the price from $ 30 per yard to $ 20. I told him that I just wanted to check another shop or two before buying, about which he was very obviously displeased. He was so obnoxious that I actually felt sorry for him and was planning to come back since he’d given me such a good price.
I went to one other shop across the street (G&R at 239 W 39), and promptly saw the same fabric there. Not a similar fabric, mind you, but exactly the same one. I asked the price, and the price for the same fabric there was $ 6 per yard. Six dollars – not twenty. I wasn’t angry – just relieved that I’d managed to escape getting cheated, and I went back to Day to Day just to confirm that the man there had meant $ 20 per yard and not for all three yards.
He recognized me of course, and confirmed that his «special price, just for you» was indeed $ 20 per yard, and when I told him that I had just bought the same thing across the street for $ 6 he told me «the fabric you bought was garbage.» After a bit of cursing he told me to leave; I only hope that some of his other potential customers were able to escape as I had.
If you want to see how mean and nasty a salesperson can be, then by all means go here for entertainment purposes. Do not, however, buy anything here.
