Fab is all about design, from their products to website to ios apps. Their stuff is really not cheap, when you factor in their shipping costs its especially not cheap. I was going to purchase a pair of touchscreen gloves from them, but I realized after shipping I was only saving a few dollars from the original manufacturers in NYC (including their shipping cost). I decided to go straight with the manufacturer, which was a small startup, so they could save on the cut they'd likely have given to fab.
But on the flip side, there are some interesting products on fab that I would never have known about otherwise.
- bherms 14y agoI've bought about 10 things off fab.com since they've launched... As you mentioned, the stuff isn't highly discounted, but the way I look at it is that it's a very nicely curated collection of cool shit I would never have found on my own, plus it is discounted slightly (generally like 10-20% or so). 37 Signals has always talked about curating and I think there's a lot of value in it. On a side note, their site is a killer on memory... As someone who digs browsing through and cmd-clicking things I'm interested in to check out later, this site ruins my computer (top of line macbook air).
