Something Fishy Is Going On With These Table Linen Vendors

Trakena, on April 23, 2014 at 11:49 AM Posted in Planning 0 22

Okay, is it just me, or is something very fishy going on with all of these table linen vendors. I was concerned about efavormart after all of the bad reviews here, so I decided to look at some options ( Craftsnfavors, Tableclothfactory) and noticed a trend.

1) All of them only have online web reps

2) All of them are out of the same satin/lamour tablecloths until 5/5/14

I'm starting to wonder if these are all the same company operating under different names! Which is so fishy to me.

    I know that efavormart and Tablecloth factory are the same company and you will get billed from YaYa something. I did order a complete table setting (tablecloth, overlay, napkins, chair covers) from there and got it on time and in good condition. I didn't go with them because I changed my table decor and they didn't have what I needed. I ended ordering my satin tablecloths from SmartyHadAParty, I haven't opened the package yet but was happy with their delivery speed, live customer service and website interface.

    That's a relief. I'm a little nervous about buying online.

    I ordered my napkins from linentablecloth.com and they came in good condition. A few weren't cut in perfect squares but I didn't really care

    Efavormart and tableclothsfactory are definitely owned by the same people. I ordered linen napkins and table runners from efavormart and had no issues at all. I've read a lot of bad reviews, though, so proceed with caution.

    I've ordered napkins (3 seperare occassions because list keeps growing) from eFavor mart. Also ordered chair sashes and ribbon. I was very pleased with quality and speed of service. And the napkins were all the same.

    The out until is either because they get from same vendor or are same company.

    I work in ecommerce and it's quite common for one company to have several different webpages all selling the same product. They cast a bigger net to try and get more hits. We have one boot store that has FIVE different online stores all selling the same products. It's nothing to worry about as long as they have an SSL certificate.

    Okay...thanks everyone...y'all definitely made me feel much better about this. After reading some of the reviews online, I became very concerned, but it seems like it may work out.

    I've ordered many of my items from efavormart (two separate orders) and everything was great.

    I bought napkins through efavormart. They aren't amazing quality. But great for the price I paid. They shipped the wrong quantity of the colors I ordered. They shipped more to resolve the issue, but they were dicks about it and all but accused me of lying.

    Yeah...I heard of issues like that happening. I ordered linens because a soon to be cousin has before and didn't have any issues. We didn't either, but I had heard of enough folks having issues with glass items arriving smashed and with orders not being right that I was cautious to order anything else. They had the vases I wanted, but I didn't want to chance it. And if looking at how they sent my linens is any indicatory of how they ship, I'd say any glass or other fragile item wouldn't arrive well. Be careful of what you'd actually have them ship.

    Oh yeah, totally normal practice for businesses. I have done business with TableClothsFactory.com before for several linen needs, they have always been quick, good quality, and worth the money. The only thing I dislike is some of the lights I have gotten from eFavormart. I thought they were cheap and gaudy. But they were cheap, like really cheap, so it's hard to be too upset about that.

    I noticed that too. While I love their wide selection of chargers that are not available elsewhere via rental companies, we really do not have a need to keep linens after the fact and don't want to deal with the hassle of reselling. Many vendors are sketchy in that way because they know no one will no one question or research them beyond the surface.

    I'm already married but use Efavormart, Tableclothsfactory and CVLinens because I am an Event Decorator. I found that CVLinens did much better with specific colors being accurate such as Blush. Efavormart sent me Blush Pink and didn't want to pay to send them back so I am keeping incase I need them and haven't ordered directly from them since. Tableclothsfactory I found to pay more attention to glass items. Yes Efavormart and Tableclothsfactory are under the same umbrella but quality and service are totally different for me. Congrats to all of the upcoming nuptials and remember there is no such thing as a Perfect Day!!! However, your planning, decorating and day of team should be committed to doing everything they can to make it as close to perfect as humanly possible. Enjoy your day, the bottom line is the couple have one of the biggest and best days of their life together.

    Hey Yvette, I am considering buying ivory linens from either cv linens or tableclothsfactory but am concerned they will be see thru because of the light colored material. I dont want to see the imperfections and line from the fold in half tables underneath. Any thoughts of which one may be better or another company you would suggest. Thanks in advance

    Hello. I read your question and was wondering did you buy from tablecloth factory or cv linens? Which one and how was the quality?

    Hi Gina,

    I did order some from CV Linen. They seemed to be ok but it was challenging to get the wrinkles out. I think that is the biggest problem with buying over renting. If you are willing to take on getting out the wrinkles they are not bad. I would not go for the economy ones, I accidentally ordered one of those and I could tell the difference in quality.
