The $1 didn't make that much of a difference to me. I felt like queen sized flannel sheets were a pretty good deal at $16.99. If the quality is not what I expect, I think I can return them. FWIU Amazon is pretty good about that, provided the items are not destroyed, etc...
Everything I have purchased form them in the past has been books or electronics, where I knew what I was getting.
What quality can I expect form $17 sheets?
Any experience in Amazon returns?
