Online Ordering and Payment

We have updated our online ordering and payment system, to make it easier for our customers to select Store Pickup and to receive good, up-to-date information on the status of their order. 

This update has changed the way you pay for your order: 

  1. Shopify does not offer the Store Pickup option if you choose to pay with Apple ShopPay or Google GPay. 
  2. The Store Pickup option is only available if you click the green CHECKOUT button and pay through Shopify. If you're having trouble getting away from a default ShopPay or GPay page, try checking out as a guest.
  3. Expedited shipping through Canada Post is available for all payment methods, and shipping charges are calculated and shown in the payment window. 

Shipping

We are happy to ship to customers all across Canada (and the world!) We endeavour to process your orders as quickly as we can, usually the day they come in, and ship them out as quickly as we can as well!

We ask for and appreciate your patience while waiting for your order!

I chose Expedited Shipping, when can I expect my order to arrive? 

We will get your order cut, packed and shipped as quickly as we can. You will receive a tracking number when we print your shipping label.

I chose Store Pickup, when can I pickup my order and is it safe? 

We will get your order cut and packed as quickly as we can. We will send you an email when your order is ready for pickup. Please wait until you receive that email before coming to the store, and follow the directions on the sign when you arrive. 

Please note that Store Pickup is available at the following times:

Monday-Friday: 11:00 am - 6:00 pm

Saturday: 11:00 am - 5:00 pm

Sunday: 12:00pm - 5:00pm 

I want to combine two orders for shipping or pickup. Can I do that? 

Unfortunately, no. Well, not always.

There's significant added administrative work to finding your two orders, ensuring that we combine the correct orders, and that we sort them properly. We just can't take that time away from everyone else's orders.    

In the rare case that two orders shipping to the same person are on our shipping desk at the same time, we *may* at our discretion choose to combine those orders in order to save on our shipping costs.  If we find that there is a significant difference between what you paid for shipping for the multiple orders, and what we paid to ship them to you, we *may* refund the difference, at our discretion.

Returns & Refunds

My order wasn't what I expected, can I return it, and how?

Please contact us at hello@fabricationsottawa.com if you want to return an item for a refund or exchange. Please wait for approval before shipping any products back.

Return shipping is at your own expense.

Please note that returns are accepted up to 14 days after purchase. Returned items must be unused and in the original packaging, with a receipt or proof of purchase.

We do not accept returns on:

  • Fabric, and any item cut to length at customer's request such as ribbon, elastic or trim,
  • Opened patterns,
  • Gift cards, and
  • Sale items. Only regular priced items may be refunded.

PLEASE NOTE: We do our best to ensure colour accuracy in our product photos. However, due to colour variances in every monitor and mobile device screen, we cannot guarantee that colours will be an exact match to what you see online. Please keep this in mind before completing your order.

I was given a gift from your store, but it's not what I wanted. Can I return it? 

While we love that someone thought of Fabrications for their gift-giving, we get that gift-giving is tricky and not always quite right. We're more than happy to help you get exactly what you want and need! Please contact us at hello@fabricationsottawa.com and we'll see what we can do!

Please note however, that in most cases, we can't give an exchange or refund for anything cut, such as fabric, ribbon, elastic and trim. 

We will happily exchange or give store credit for items like unopened patterns, or notions and tools.

How long will it take for my refund to be processed?

While we make every effort to process refunds immediately, please allow us up to 5 business days to refund your purchase to your original form of payment. We will send you an email when we have processed your refund. It may take up to an additional 10 business days for the bank to process the transaction.
