Terms & Conditions
Secure Payment: Payment for your order is made by our secure payment gateway, PayPal. PayPal is a global e-commerce business and manages more than 200 million accounts. PayPal is one of the largest and most respected online payment gateways and processes transactions worldwide. You can securely pay for your order by credit/debit card without revealing your card numbers or bank account details. You do not need to open a PayPal account to send a payment. PayPal is a safe, simple way to pay for your goods online with your debit or credit card, without sharing your financial information. PayPal adheres to stringent levels of fraud screening, ensuring that your details remain secure throughout the securely encrypted transaction process. As all payments for goods are processed via PayPal, we never see or have access to your debit/credit card details. Please make sure you’ve entered your contact details accurately. Once you’ve placed an order with us, we’ll send you an acknowledgement email with your order number, and details of the goods you have ordered
Placing Your Order: You do not have to create an account to place an order. When ordering, please ensure you provide a valid telephone number and email address so that we can confirm acceptance of your order and to notify you when your order has been despatched. We may need to discuss your order, for example, if any stock availability issues affect you. If you provide a valid telephone number we can avoid unnecessary delays in sending out your order, if we need to speak with you first
Delivery of Your Order/Postage and Packing Charges: Your order will be processed with care and attention and we do our very best to make each individual customer's shopping experience with us a personal and positive one. Despite the additional time this level of care takes, most orders are despatched within one to two working days (excluding UK bank holidays, Christmas/New Year seasonal closure and weather permitting in extreme weather conditions). If despatch of your order is delayed due to severe weather conditions we will, of course, notify you at the earliest opportunity. Mainland UK orders are sent by Royal Mail's standard postal service (second class post) and you should allow seven working days for delivery after it has been despatched. For your convenience, we offer faster delivery options at checkout. We have a very reasonable set postage charge of £3.75 (standard second class) for all mainland UK, Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Wight, Scottish Highlands, Isle of Man orders no matter how much you buy. If you require Special Delivery, or Parcelforce 48 hour/24 hour delivery service for your order (UK only), please email with details of the goods that you wish to purchase
International Postage: We post parcels to Europe, USA, Canada and countries worldwide. Royal Mail now charge for Europe in three different priced postage zones 1 to 3. Postage charges for tracked deliveries to Europe Zone 1 start at £14.00 for a package weighing up to 250g, increasing on a sliding scale/grouped weight banded format upwards. Goods are sent by International Tracked delivery service, and the price of this is included in our delivery charge for banded weight orders sent to Europe Zones 1, 2 and 3, USA and Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Asia and Middle East. Please note that two kilo is the individual parcel weight limit set by Royal Mail for airmail small packet rate. We cannot send goods by airmail in one parcel weighing more than 2 kilo but we are able to accept two separate orders if the weight of your parcel exceeds the maximum 2 kilo limit. We reserve the right to split any high value/large orders into smaller separate parcels if deemed necessary, and a signature may be required upon delivery of your parcel/s. For all UK/overseas orders, any postage charges/Customs Fees/Import Tax expenses incurred by the customer after goods are despatched, for non-delivered, re-routed, unclaimed parcels, returned to sender, subsequent re-delivery, incorrectly addressed parcels, is the sole responsibility of the customer. If a customer fails to pay the required Customs fees/Port of Entry Import Duties and the parcel is subsequently returned to us by International Post, then we will be unable to reimburse the cost of any outward postage paid by the customer and will only refund the actual cost of the goods posted.
All goods are despatched to the delivery address supplied on the checkout payment form and cannot be sent elsewhere. Payment is to be made in GB Pounds Sterling. Please double-check that your email address and postal address on the checkout/payment form is completed correctly before submitting your PayPal payment. We cannot be held responsible for items lost or delayed/returned to sender due to an incomplete or incorrect address being supplied. If we discover that an order has been placed by a person under the age of 18, it will be cancelled by us, without notice. We reserve the right not to process orders to PO Boxes or University Campus address and to send goods by a registered delivery service if deemed necessary
Stock Availability/Out of Stock Items: We endeavour to only display goods on this website that are in stock. However, due to the nature of 24 hour shopping, occasionally products sell out. If a product you have ordered is out of stock, we will contact you to let you know when we expect new stock to arrive. You will have the option to cancel your order if you would rather not wait. If, by mistake, we have underpriced an item, we will not be liable to supply that item to you at the stated price, provided that we notify you before we despatch the item to you
Returns & Refunds: In the case of all returns/refunds, please email first, using the form on our "Contact Us" page. We hope that you will be pleased as punch with your purchase. However, if you change your mind and would like to return an item in unused, brand new and unopened condition, within fourteen days of delivery (28 days for International orders), we will be happy to refund the original price of the goods (via the original method of payment and only to the person who purchased the goods). However, please note that all cut to order narrow fabrics, trimming tapes, fabric tape, netting material, organza, tulle, spiderweb net, webbing, ribbon, blanket binding, ric rac, edging, decorative braid, cotton twill tape, cotton and satin bias binding etc., are not returnable and are therefore excluded from our returns policy as these fabrics are cut to order to the customer's requirements and are not re-saleable once cut from the manufacturer's reel. Card refunds will only be credited to the original card used for the transaction within fourteen days of the date the returned goods are received. In the case of all refunds, we are not responsible for any charges levied by your payment processor, card issuer, or bank, as a result of returning payments to you, the buyer. To arrange for a return, please email quoting the customer order number that was supplied to you when your order was placed on our website. We will respond as soon as possible with details of the relevant returns address - please do not return goods to the West Farleigh address as this is solely a distribution unit. We are unable to reimburse postage costs paid for outward postage as this has already been incurred by sending the item/s to you. Postage costs incurred in returning the unwanted item/s to us are at the customer's expense and are not refundable. We cannot accept items for a refund if the goods are not in perfect condition, or it is obvious to us that the goods have been used or washed. This does not affect your statutory rights. If you return an item to us after the fourteen day return period without contacting us first, we reserve the right to refuse a refund. We will not entertain claims for consequential loss. If you have purchased the wrong shade colour (reels of cotton bias binding, satin bias binding, narrow fabrics etc), you may return the item but we will not reimburse return postage costs for remorse items. In the case of all returns, please email us first, using the email form on our "Contact Us" page. The goods to be returned (including the original sales invoice) must be returned in their original packaging and packed securely. Please note that you are responsible for any loss or damage whilst the goods are in your possession and during the return transit, and we do request that all returns should be insured in transit. We recommend that you use a trackable delivery service as we cannot accept liability for goods going astray in the post and proof of posting will NOT be accepted as proof of delivery.
International goods returns: Customers are liable for the cost of return postage if they wish to return item/s purchased, if you change your mind about a product you have received/have ordered the wrong product. Please bear in mind that when returning items from overseas, it is extremely likely that high importation charges will be levied by HM Customs on the returned goods once the parcel reaches the UK point of entry and Royal Mail will in turn retain the returned goods until the import charge is paid by the recipient. In this case, the import charges/Customs Duty fees that we have to pay to collect the goods from Royal Mail's offices will in turn be deducted from the amount due to the customer, before a PayPal refund may be issued. Import tax/Customs Duty charges and postage costs paid by the customer to return unwanted goods, is beyond our control and shall remain the responsibility of the customer when returning international orders to the UK
Exclusions to Return Policy: Please note that anything which has been cut to order, including blanket binding, narrow fabrics, braid, trimming, webbing, organza, spiderweb netting, tulle, edging, cotton tape, ribbon, cotton bias, satin bias binding, etc, is not returnable and therefore excluded from our returns policy. Products with torn packaging, removed shrink wrap, discontinued items, clearance products or sale lines, in particular, are also non returnable and exempt from our returns policy. For hygiene reasons, some items (for example, but not exclusively) teazle brushes and fabric combs, are excluded from our return policy and can only be returned should a genuine manufacturing fault exist. Other items may not be returned because of the risk of damage whilst handling in transit (the postal system). Items which are excluded from our returns policy will be clearly stated in the description. Our returns policy does NOT apply to brushes & combs, knitting and crochet patterns/books & tuition booklets, all cut to order ribbon, netting material, organza fabric, tulle, ric rac, blanket binding, braid, narrow fabrics, trimmings, cotton twill tape, bias bindings, webbing, curtain & fabric tape
Your Right To Cancel: You may normally cancel your order (once accepted by us), by email message (as we have a quick turnaround of orders), for any reason up to the point of despatch. If you do cancel the order within this time any payments made by you will be refunded in full within 14 days, via the same payment method that was used to purchase the goods. If you have received the goods before you cancel your order, you must not unpack the goods when they are received by you and you must send the goods back to us, by trackable delivery service, at your own cost and risk, within 14 days of taking delivery. If goods are already despatched at the time of cancellation, please refer to above section concerning returns/refunds. Postage costs incurred in returning goods are non-refundable and we do ask that all returns are sent by trackable means. The correct returns address will be supplied to you - please do NOT return goods to the Hunt Street address

Conditions of Ordering: If you have any issues regarding PayPal, please visit their website. Banks and card payment processing companies have procedures in place to automatically cancel an order if their anti-fraud detection systems have reason to suspect a transaction is fraudulent. We reserve the right to cancel an order if we have reason to suspect a fraudulent transaction. If your bank/card payment processor does not authorise payment, we cannot accept your order and we cannot be responsible for any delay or non-delivery. If this happens, you should contact your card issuer. Unfortunately, we are not responsible for any charges imposed by your bank/card issuer or bank as a result of your order. We may not be able to accept an order if payment authorisation fails or if there is a mistake with the pricing/product description. If orders are placed separately, and at different times, then each order will incur a flat rate delivery charge. Your order is subject to acceptance by us. Although we don’t have to accept your order, we would do normally where:
1. You are an adult over 18
2. The product(s) you want to buy are available
3. The product price is correct
4. The credit/debit card you are using to make payment belongs to you and has been authorised by the payment processing company

If items are required to be re-sent as Royal Mail attempted delivery, but failed, and the goods are subsequently returned to us as they were not collected by the purchaser, then you will be liable to repay the P&P charge for a second delivery. Please check with your local Royal Mail sorting office if your order is more than one week late as undelivered parcels are usually held there for seven days before being returned to us. Royal Mail do not always leave a calling card if they try to deliver whilst you are out. Please note that we are unable to give instructions to your Royal Mail postman on what to do with your parcel if you are not at home
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY - Port of Entry/Customs & International Postal Services: We cannot be held responsible for any customs or tax/duty charges incurred at "Port of Entry" and charged to you. Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or our postage and packing charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Customs officers have the right to withhold incoming goods for inspection at the Port of Entry and we cannot be held responsible for any delays/consequential loss for delays incurred by Customs clearance. Some products may be prohibited from Port of Entry into certain countries and it is your responsibility to ensure that items you have ordered from the UK are not prohibited by the laws of the destination country. We accept no responsibility for items confiscated by Customs at the Port of Entry and a refund will not be issued in those circumstances. Orders sent to countries outside mainland UK will have the relevant Customs declaration forms attached for inspection by Customs at the Port of Entry. Please check with your country's Customs Office to determine if additional Import tax/duty fees will be applied, before placing your order. Please be aware that you are responsible for shipping costs and Customs fees/Import Duty fees regardless of whether you actually receive your parcel of goods.

As a customer, you are responsible to comply with International, National or local laws regulating importation of products that you may purchase. It is entirely your responsibility to not order items that are illegal to import into your country. There is usually not an importation problem, but occasionally they do occur. The risk is yours. You will be responsible for the entire package cost and postal charges/Import Tax/Customs fees if the parcel is seized and we do not get it back. If for any reason the package is seized by Customs Officials, we will not issue you a refund unless all products are returned to us in their original as new condition. If the package is subsequently returned to us by Customs Officials or International Mail for any reason, including delivery failure (unsuccessful attempted delivery) or non-payment of International Postal Redelivery/Redirection Fees or non-payment of Import Duty fees/Customs charges, you are still responsible for any and all shipping charges and Customs fees/Import Tax. Shipping charges paid by the customer and incurred by us to send parcels are non refundable if a parcel is subsequently returned to us due to failed delivery (unsuccessful attempted delivery) or non collection by the customer. Only the original cost of the goods will be refunded and not the cost of postage paid by the customer to send the parcel. If an order is refused delivery by Customs due to unauthorised ingredients or contents, knitsewcraft.co.uk is not to be held responsible for any losses or costs incurred by the customer.
