I placed an order, wasn't getting a subtotal to see how much the order was going to cost, and it cost more than the purchase was for costing, and I only saw the total price after I had paid for it.

Loss:
$32
Cons:
  • Should offer the sub total before you pay

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: I don’t know how you can find your total before you pay it, but make sure you see what the shipping cost is

Orders not received.

AI Highlights
  • - Two Joann online orders on July 31, 2025 for $386.92.
  • - No delivery or refund received; only apology with courier contact promise.
  • - Order #39434.

Hi,

I placed two orders from Joann Fabric Stores online on the 31st of July, 2025, to the tune of $386.92. Till today, I have not received the products or a refund of the money already taken out of my account.

Several requests were made to the company, and the only response I received was, 'I'm very sorry for the inconvenience caused. I'll contact the courier company immediately to verify the specific situation.'

One of the order numbers is #39434.

Loss:
$387

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: I am not really sure of the situation with JOANN Fabrics before I placed my orders online. I will just like to suggest future costomers should verufy first of the company's situation before getting into my situation.

I have two gift cards to get refunded

AI Highlights
  • - Gift cards are no longer accepted and I wasn't told until I arrived.
  • - I didn't hear it on radio or Facebook; not sure if it was in the newspaper.
JOANN Fabric - I have two gift cards to get refunded

I dont know. I just filled it out today.

They never advertised about not taking gift cards until it was too late.

When I had got there, they said they were not taking gift cards any longer, but I had not heard anything on the radio or on Facebook. I dont get the newspaper, so Im not sure if they had advertised in the newspaper about not accepting gift cards.

User's recommendation: Just filled it out today not sure

It was all over the news, if you missed oh well. They're going out of business, they're not worried about you being upset.

Everything is still the same.

Original review Jul 08, 2025

Didn't receive two orders from June 3rd and June 6th. I was able to track the first order and they said it was delivered.

I never received anything from Joann's. The first order was a sewing machine and the second was machine needles and 3 different kinds of yarn.

Can I either get my order or refund my money. This has gone on way to long.
