Before Buying Fabrics
|
|
|
When comparing fabrics from different suppliers:-
|
|
|
- Check the width much cheaper fabrics are often much narrower.
- Check the quality by obtaining a sample cheaper fabrics are often of inferior quality. Will the supplier provide a free sample? - we will.
- Don't trust colours or description of colours see a sample. Colours on computer screens are notoriously unreliable the same colour fabric can appear as 3 different colours on 3 different computers!
- Beware of bogus Recommended Retail Prices or 'RRP's they are often just invented by internet suppliers to make their own products look cheaper. They are misleading and in contravention of consumer protection legislation.
- Are there any cutting charges? some suppliers make a charge for cutting eg: less than 10m. We don't add any cutting charge to our advertised prices.
- Do you trust the supplier? Can you visit them to see the fabrics, collect an order, or return unsatisfactory goods? Do they even provide a telephone number?
- VAT: do prices include VAT or will it be added on when you order? - all the prices we give you (unless you're a trade customer) include VAT.
- Silk Dupion is it the hand-loom or power-woven type?
- 'Raw Silk' do they mean dupion, shantung, or tussah?
These are all different does the supplier know the difference?
