Brexit Information for EU Customers:

All fees are included at the checkout so you won’t need to pay anything additional your end. Please note couriers are still experiencing delays so please be aware things can take longer than the stated delivery time.

 

Fabric Ordering:

Fabric can be ordered in 10cm increments. The minimum order is half a metre.

 

Fabric Samples:

Samples can be ordered on the individual fabric pages, under the ‘buy’ tab. Samples are 50p each with free shipping anywhere in the world. Please note that if you have an old sample, it would be worth ordering a new sample as the fabric dye batched can alter slightly over time.

We offer a 10% discount for students. Please email a picture of your student card to [email protected] and we will set you up a discount code. Students cannot receive 10% off on classes or remnants. Please note we need to see an expiry date of your course.

Your order will be sent to the address you have entered under ‘shipping address.’ We will endeavor to spot mistakes but we cannot be held responsible for missing parcels due to address errors. If a parcel is returned to us as undeliverable due to your address error we can re send your item but there will be an additional delivery charge.

 

Taxes & Duties:

If your order is being delivered outside of the European Community (EC), please be aware you may have to pay your countries import duty or other taxes. This is not the responsibility of Merchant & Mills. If you decide to refuse delivery because you do not want to pay these charges, the courier ‘return to sender’ fee will be deducted off your refund when the order makes it back to us. Generally couriers charge high fees for returning parcels to sender.

 

Returns:

We do not accept returns on any cut fabric or trims as these are bespoke orders. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Gifts and notions can be returned at your shipping cost. These must be in a resalable condition – unopened and unused. Items must be returned within 7 days of receipt of your order. See below details of how to return items.

 

Scissor Returns:

Scissors can be exchanged or refunded at your shipping cost. Items must be returned within 7 days of receipt of your order. These must be unused – if they have visibly been used we won’t be able to refund you.

If you feel like your scissors are faulty please email [email protected] with a description and photos if necessary. Scissors are very accurately set at the factory to ensure the perfect cut, if you interfere with the bolt at all this will ruin the setting and we won’t be able to help you. Please email us with the fault before trying to fix it yourself.

Please note we no longer offer a re sharpening/ scissor refurbishment option on our scissors.

 

Damaged items:

We cannot accept returns on cut or washed fabric. Please check your fabric carefully for faults before proceeding with cutting and sewing.

If you do find a fault with your fabric before cutting or you have received damaged or faulty goods, please notify us by phone or email within 7 working days of receipt of your order.
