All the images and descriptions of our handwoven products are intended to give a representation of the products in that range. Slight variations in colour may  occur. Commissioned pieces may be based on a previous design but will rarely be identical due to differences in yarn, colour batches, and the uniqueness of a handmade product.  Please contact us if you would like further information about any item.

MAKING A PURCHASE

Weft Blown accepts all major credit and debit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Solo and Electron. We also accept payments via Paypal and BACS. For purchases made in person at our studio or at third-party shows we will accept payment in cash.  For retail purchases with a value of over £1000 the preferred payment method is by direct bank transfer (BACS) but card and PayPal payment will also be accepted. All purchases made by wholesale customers are to be paid for by BACS unless another payment method has been agreed in advance.

Prices are indicated in British pounds sterling.  Our online store also features a function to display in US Dollars and Euros at a current exchange rate. Actual prices paid in foreign currencies will be subject to the exchange rate to British pounds Sterling and any bank fees that are applied by your bank.

You may contact us via mail, e-mail or telephone to place your order and we will advise on availability of products and payment options. 

For purchases made directly through our online store your method of payment will be charged at the time of purchase. 

You will receive a confirmation e-mail to indicate that your order has been received. If there is a problem in processing your order or any items you have ordered are currently out of stock, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss the situation.

If you contact us regarding your purchase in advance we can send you a digital invoice that will allow you to complete payment once we advise we can ship your order.

The price charged is the price published on our website at the time you made your order. Weft Blown reserves the right to alter prices with immediate effect.  Weft Blown is VAT registered; our VAT number is GB 267926947.

FLOOR LOOM PURCHASES

The price we quote you is valid for a period of 8 weeks unless otherwise stated.  To place a floor loom order we require a minimum 10% non-refundable deposit with the total balance to be paid before the loom is shipped.  Alternatively you can pay the full amount at the time of placing the order and we are also able to split payment up to 3 instalments. The full balance has to be paid before the loom can be shipped to you.  For floor loom orders final payment should be made by direct bank transfer (BACS) if possible.  For confirmed orders we will send you an email invoice that contains details of all the items ordered, total prices and instructions on how to make a BACS secure payment. Alternatively, card payment can be accepted subject to 2.2% card handling fee and PayPal for a 2.9% surcharge.

Delivery timescales: We will need confirmation with the factory what the current timescales are for shipping your loom.  As the looms are made in batches there are periods when we have to wait for production to be completed before orders can be fulfilled.  Please note that floor loom delivery may take up to 14 weeks, but can also be quicker than this if orders are placed part way through or at the end of a production run.  If delivery is delayed due to factors beyond our control for a period of 22 weeks or more then we will offer you the option of cancelling your order and will refund all payments made by you up until that point, including the 10% deposit.
If for any reason you are not happy with your order please contact Weft Blown in the first instance to discuss the matter and so that a resolution can be sought.  We strive to provide you with the highest quality equipment and will work with our suppliers to ensure complete customer satisfaction.  Returns can only be accepted once fully agreed with Weft Blown in advance of the return.
