WHAT WE DO
The Fabric Fox is a UK-based online retailer that sells premium quality cotton fabrics in fat quarters, half metres and metres, fabric bundles and sewing kits. Our mission is to sell premium quality cotton fabrics with modern, alternative designs.
PHOTO COLOUR ACCURACY
We use a combination of stock images (from the designer/manufacturer) and our own photographs to present the fabrics we sell. All parties have tried their best to represent the colours as accurately as possible. However, we can't guarantee an exact match as colours can vary depending on your display settings, and therefore fabrics may look different upon arrival.
WASHING AND SHRINKAGE
Some of the fabrics we sell have been pre-washed. However, if you intend on washing your fabric please bear in mind that there is a risk of shrinkage. Therefore we recommend purchasing slightly more fabric than necessary. If you intend on washing your fabric please do so before using it.
PRE-ORDERS
Fabric on our Pre-Order page is fabric that is not currently in stock. Customers can order the fabric in advance. If the fabric sells out before we have it in stock no more pre-orders can be made. The fabric will be processed and posted to the customer as soon as we are able to do so. Customers are advised to keep pre-order fabric separate from in stock fabric to ensure the in stock fabric can be posted on time. Customers who purchase in stock fabric and pre-order fabric in a single transaction will receive the in stock fabric alongside the pre-order fabric. Due to the nature of pre-orders we are unable to process orders to a specific date. Pre-order arrival dates are estimations provided by the wholesalers and The Fabric Fox cannot be held responsible for inaccurate estimations or delays.
PAYMENT
We use secure payment facilities for online purchases. Customers can pay for their orders using PayPal and Visa/Debit card. All of our online transactions are processed securely by our merchant service provider and/or PayPal. Your credit card number will be encrypted when your order is placed using SSL encryption software. Our merchant providers then inform us, via the encryption system, the outcome of the transaction. Once your transaction is complete you will receive an email to confirm your order has been paid for. Please keep this email as proof of purchase.
