I ordered online and was not particularly happy. I ordered a kiddush
cup which turned out to be plastic. So I would check the local Jewish

There are some things one can feel safe buying on-line. That's why
books, DVDs, etc., do so well. (Though used books can get iffy.)

But for something as important and personal as a tallit or a kiddush
cup, I would feel better seeing it in person if possible.

To follow up on my original post, we eventually gave up on on-line
shopping and made the trek to New York City. There are several stores
around 5th Ave and 35th Street, and we found a tallit in minutes.

For Wendy and the other on-line vendors: It was not dishonesty which
turned us away, but the uniformly poor quality on the web sites. The
pictures were often small, blurry, poorly lit, and showing only part of
the tallit.
