About Fab.com

Despite its booming popularity, Fab.com is a fairly young site. Cofounders Jason Goldberg and Bradford Shellhammer cofounded the website in early 2010 as a social media network for the LGBT community. It wasn’t until over a year later, in November of 2011, that Fab.com began focusing on ecommerce and retail.

Fab.com really took off after it removed its membership requirements in late 2012. By December of that year, the site had reached the 10 million member mark. It was this year that Fab.com also took over several other high profile fashion and design sites, including FashionStake, Casacanda and Llustre.

Although founder Bradford Shellhammer decided to leave the company in 2013, cofounder Jason Goldberg has managed to run the company successfully with the help of a board of advisors. Under Goldberg’s leadership, Fab.com intends to move away from flash sales and in the more profitable direction of personalized goods and home design.

The Best Features of Fab.com

Fab.com is home to thousands of fun and unique products from artists all around the globe. Many of the goods on the site are original designs that can’t be found anywhere else. No matter what you’re looking for, Fab.com has something to suit everyone’s tastes.

Perhaps one of the most useful features of Fab.com is how well connected the website is to popular social media networks. Fab has a Facebook page where patrons can see and post hot new items and design ideas. Following Fab’s Facebook feed will keep shoppers up to date on popular products and the latest daily deals.

You can also follow Fab.com on Pinterest, Instagram and Twitter to see what products that other shoppers are talking about. Fab.com makes it easy to keep up with what’s trending through social media networking with its customers.

Fab.com runs a blog alongside its main website that is an entertaining and informative read. You can find additional information on popular products and learn about the background behind different designers. The blog is not as well maintained as Fab’s social media pages, so Facebook or Twitter would be a better place to seek out information on the site’s latest products and promotions.

Some of the products on Fab.com can be a little pricey, but items are constantly going on sale. Every week, 100 new featured deals are posted alongside a huge selection of clearance merchandise. If a full priced product catches your eye, there’s a good chance that it will go on sale at some point in the near future.

Criticisms of Fab.com

Some customers have had issues receiving packages on time from Fab.com. The site promises to have orders shipped in less than 5 days, but customers have complained that it takes weeks for their packages to arrive.

Unfortunately, Fab.com only has control over items that are shipped out of its warehouse. The site also a “designer direct” shipping service where products are sent directly from the original artist instead of through Fab. Designer direct orders, as well as custom requests, may take longer than 5 days to process and ship. If a product is being sent from an artist in another country, delivery could take several weeks.

There have also been a handful of customer complaints about items shipped directly from the Fab.com warehouse. Occasionally an order will be delivered that is the wrong size, or in extreme cases, the wrong product altogether.

Luckily, the company offers free returns within 30 days of purchase and is generally good about honoring that commitment. If Fab.com does send you the wrong item or size, a quick call or email to customer service should clear the issue up.
