All About Fabric
Q: Why do you sell your fabric by the ½ yard?
A: We sell by the ½ yard so that our customers have greater control over the quantity they are purchasing.
For example, if you only needed a ¼ yard, you might consider buying a ½ yard, but you're probably not going to purchase 1 yard (unless you really, really, really love that fabric)!
Q: Am I able to purchase fabric in a single, continuous length? I don't want half yard pieces.
A: You absolutely can! All yardage (unless otherwise specified) is cut from the bolt at the time of processing the order. This means that if you purchase a quantity of 4 (½ yards), we will cut a single 2-yard piece of fabric from the bolt.
Q: Can I get a sample of the fabric I am interested in?
A: Sadly, at this time we are unable to offer samples. We do sometimes sell fat ⅛'s upon request, so just give us a shout at info@lindleygeneralstore.ca if you really need some samples.
We also offer colour matching, so if you send us a little scrap of fabric, we can recommend fabrics (or source them if need be).
Q: What is the difference between a yard and a meter?
A:1 yard is equal to 36 inches and 1 meter is equal to 39 inches. So in most cases if you need a meter, you would be fine with just a yard. However, it's always safest to round up, especially on fabrics that cannot be re-ordered.
Shipping
Q: Is there a cheaper shipping method available?
A: As soon a we get access to cheaper rates, we pass them on to you! No holding out on our end, cause we get it, nobody wants to pay for shipping!
Q: Do you ship to the USA?
A: Absolutely! We love our American customers!
If you spend $95 CAD, we'll even give you a shipping discount. All the deets available here.
Q: Can I track my package?
A: Yes, you can!
Go to the shipping confirmation email, right below the logo, there is a big red button that says 'View your order'. Click that button. It will bring up a page with all your order details.
There will be a map, right below that you will see a tracking number. If you click the tracking number, it will bring up the tracking page for the courier it was shipped with. e.i., if your package shipped via Canada Post, the tracking number link will take you to the Canada Post tracking page.
