yarmulke help

Hello! Last month I ordered 100 customized white satin yarmulkes for my ceremony from an online company. Well, they showed up last week and the satin on almost each and everyone was torn or pulled. Currently they are giving me the run around (keep telling me that someone from customer service will call me back and never do). I've contacted Citibank Mastercard to dispute the charges...so they are taking the matter over.

So now my question is...where have you ordered your yarmulkes from, and have you been happy with them? I've decided that I won't order from another company without first getting a recommendation from a happy customer. Help, please!

I ordered from www.skullcap.com They came out fine and they were the cheapest I had found on the internet. They're located in Brooklyn and they came fast!

shameless bump. I was hoping to get more than one response. I'm so frustrated with this company, you have no idea.

Where are you located? My mom's coworker belongs to a temple in Oakdale and we got them from her.

Re: yarmulke help

I'm including a few sites I've found bellow just to give you more options.

I haven't ordered from any of them (the place I'm getting married at provides these) so I'm not really answering your question, but I hope this can somehow help anyway.

Thank you sooo much ladies! I'm going to go to Zion Lion first (I live in Huntington, so Woodbury is close). It's okay if they are a little pricey if you're happy with them...I went the less expensive route before and it obviously didn't work out too well.

I don't want to post the name of the online store that I originally bought from (actually, that's a lie...I totally do, but I'm pretty sure that is not allowed

) b/c it's not settled yet. After all is said and done I will post a review of them- to save any future LIW brides my headache.

You're all the best...thank you.
