A major fabric site that runs daily deals, regularly runs this batting at 15% off. During one of these sales, you are only paying 95 cents more than the lowest price of this drop for the twin. For the lowest price of the queen, it is better at $4.46 cheaper, however, on that site you can get the super queen and queen for the same price. The super queen is longer so it makes more sense to order it over the queen. This particular site includes free shipping for orders over $35. I don't have to buy all three and I can have it in less than a week. This deal is lukewarm at best for the twin and okay for the queen (for U.S. customers). The wool batting deal was so much better.
What is going on with the crafting deals right now? The highest price off any crafting deal currently being offered is at 27% off MSRP. The lowest is 17%. Those are not numbers that get me to pull out my wallet. I can find those prices elsewhere on the internet.

LibbyI have to agree on the lack of discounts for crafting items. I've seen several things I would buy if the prices were better than I could find on other sites that can deliver in days rather than weeks.

LibbyThis may well not be relevant for you, but I checked out the shipping costs for these batting packs from a major fabric site (probably the same one you're talking about). To ship to New Zealand, the shipping costs from the major fabric site were about double the cost of Massdrop's shipping, which makes it a good deal for me.

LibbyLibby, I think it's great that you have the option of where you can purchase cheap crafting supplies but lots of people don't have that option so just because it doesn't suit you personally doesn't mean there aren't other people out there benefitting from these sales. Just because MD have the ability to buy in bulk doesn't mean they have the same buying power that large and major stores have. I for one, am impressed with what Massdrop have been offering, and am grateful for their cheap international shipping because I have been picking up some great bargains here that I can't afford elsewhere.

LibbyHi Libby and digitalnicotine-
I'm sorry to hear you aren't happy with our pricing lately. Our goal is to always price products as low as we possibly can. We hate to offer prices so low for a particular product that we would not be able to offer that product again in the future. With crafting products, there is often not much wiggle room to adjust pricing.
If we have a substantial number of sales for a particular product, we can go back to the manufacturer and ask for an additional, lower price point. The best way to keep our prices as low as possible is for large numbers of people to join a drop. We are always doing the best we can to get you the best price possible, and I really appreciate your feedback. Thanks! Sarah
