Fabric samples are all cut by hand and measure approximately 6cm x 12cm. Samples of other products will vary.

We don't offer any samples of zips. All zips are for sale on our website and can be returned if unsuitable (see returns section for more information)
9) Can I have a metre of fabric as a sample?
No, this is not a sample quantity, so this would need to be purchased either online or over the phone.

Typically, you will receive your samples within 3 working days. If they are urgent we do offer a next working day delivery. This is priced at £8.50 and is a UK based service only. The quickest and preferred way to order samples is online via our website.
12) How are my samples sent?

Each and every sample is attached to a sample card and on this card it will have the price, width, name and composition of the fabric.
14) I'm a business can I have free samples?

The price quoted on all sample cards is valid for one month only and is subject to change without prior notification.
17) Can I order samples over the phone?
Although we can take sample orders over the phone it is much quicker and much preferred to order samples online. Ordering samples over the phone will take approximaltey 3-5 working days to arrive.
18) I need a number of samples and only one zip, can I have free P&P?
No, as this then becomes an order for more than samples.
19) Why do you charge for samples?
We hire 2 members full time to look after our samples and we also don't charge P&P on UK samples. This is why we need to charge for samples.
20) I have received my samples and want to reorder them again so I can send them to my friend/family so they can see them. How do i do this?
Simply log in to your account online and go previous orders and select the 're-order' button.
