Please note that these Terms & Conditions apply to all orders directly placed on this web site. Please ensure that you understand the Terms & Conditions prior to purchasing.

This website is for sales direct to consumers. Businesses can also make purchases, but there are no further discounts available.

Making A Purchase

This could not be easier. Just browse our store, and add any items that you wish to buy into the shopping basket. After you have finished your selection, click on 'Checkout' and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to complete the order.

Please read the descriptions for indications of current stock availability and colour range available. These provide a general guide only. Please also note that even though we have made every effort to accurately display colours on the website, the colours on this web site will be affected by the settings of the PC monitor on which they are viewed.

Where stocks are limited and not repeatable, please ensure that you order enough to complete your project.

We currently only deliver within the United Kingdom and the Channel Islands.

When confirmation of order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you an invoice. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.

Samples

We offer a sampling service to ensure that you order the fabric that is best suited to your requirements. We make a nominal charge of £1.50 per sample for this service, which covers the cost of processing and delivery. Each sample is approximately A5 (23cm x 16cm)*.

To ensure that we offer you the best possible service, we limit the number of samples per customer/order to 6. If you place repeated orders or an order in excess of the maximum amount, we reserve the right to either

  • cancel you order in its entirety and refund any money already paid, or
  • ask you to select a number of samples equivalent to the maximum and refund the difference.

Samples may not be available on some fabrics if we have a very low stock, and the fabric cannot be re-ordered from our suppliers. We do not supply samples of non-fabric products.

*Please note that for our range of Liberty Art Fabrics, the sample size is approximately A6 (10cm x15cm).

Delivery Time

Your order is normally processed and dispatched within 72 hours of being placed (excludes Weekends, UK Bank Holidays and Public Holidays) but could take a little longer during peak times. All deliveries are subject to stock availability.

Shipping and Handling

We currently only deliver within England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. All Shipment & Packaging Costs are per order, so are fixed regardless of how many items you purchase. You will receive a confirmation e-mail from us when your order has been shipped.

Any charges, costs and expenses incurred after despatch are the responsibility of the purchaser.

We reserve the right to ship smaller items by Royal Mail, or an alternative carrier.

Delivery: A signature will be required on delivery, so there needs to be an adult available at the delivery address. If no-one is at the address, the courier may attempt to deliver to a neighbour.

Missing Delivery

Royal Mail Deliveries. Please note that these may take longer to arrive, although in the majority of cases it should be within 2 days of sending. If you have not received the delivery within 5 days of notification of shipment, you will need to check that it has not been left at the local sorting office before contacting abakhan.co.uk Customer Services. Because it is not possible to track the deliveries, it may be necessary to wait up to 10 working days before it can be assumed that the delivery is missing. Please allow 10 working days for delivery before contacting us regarding your parcel not arriving.

Courier deliveries. If your order does not arrive following the shipment notification email, please track the order via the couriers web site, or contact the abakhan.co.uk Customer Services. It is normally possible to quickly arrange re-delivery.

If it is important that delivery is received within our normal delivery terms, we would recommend using the courier service, which can also be tracked.

Back Orders of Out of Stock Items

If an item is not in stock, we will back order it for you, unless the item has Limited Availability, and therefore cannot be back-ordered. You will always be emailed (if the delay is likely to exceed our normal delivery period), with the option to remove this item form your order or cancel your order if you would rather not wait. If you wish to remove the item or cancel your order, a refund will be made to your credit card or PayPal account for the item being removed or the full value of the order if the whole order is being cancelled.

If a reply is not received within 7 Days from our email to you, we reserve the right to ship the available items, and refund the cost of the out of stock items.

If for any reason a refund is made on an order, the value of the proportion of the order paid by Online Gift Card Code will be added back to the Online Gift Card Code balance. It is possible to check the Status and balance of Gift Card Codes at any time within "My Account" if you have Registered, and on the Shopping Basket page.

WEEE Regulations for disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment in the UK

Electrical and Electronic Equipment that was made after June 2006 should display the wheelie bin symbol on the packaging or product. If this symbol is found on any of your goods, it means that the product is classed as Electrical or Electronic Equipment and is covered by the WEEE Regulations.

When you have finished with a product containing this symbol (WEEE product) please do not put in your general household waste or in your household recycling bin as it will not be recycled through these channels. Please use one of the following disposal options instead:

  • Ensure that the goods are separately disposed of by taking the WEEE product to your local designated collection facility. This would normally be your local civic amenity site (recycling centre). To locate your local site, contact your local authority at: www.recycle-more.co.uk To find which waste electrical goods you can recycle near you, type your postcode into the bank locator at: www.recycle-more.co.uk/banklocator/banklocator.aspx
  • Hand the old equivalent product back to an Abakhan store when purchasing a replacement product.
  • For WEEE products purchased online, equivalent products can be returned to Michael Abakhan Ltd, Coast Road Llanerch-y-Mor, Holywell, CH8 9DX within 28 days of purchase. Postage charges for WEEE returned by post must be paid for by the customer.
