Order handling, product photography & image display
At Veldt Fibres, we take pride in crafting a personalised and meticulous approach to order handling. Each order is thoughtfully packed by myself, ensuring that every effort is made to select skeins that harmonise and complement each other beautifully. While we strive to present accurate representations of our yarns through product photography on the website and Instagram, please note that the yarn you receive may not be identical to the specific skeins photographed.
We make every effort to depict the yarn colours as true and vibrant as possible; however, it is essential to consider that device screens can vary significantly, affecting colour perception. To minimize any uncertainties regarding colourways, we encourage you to view our website and Instagram pictures on multiple devices before making a purchase.
Please be aware that refunds are not offered based on colour discrepancies or perceived variations from online images. Your understanding and satisfaction are essential to us, and we are committed to providing you with the highest quality hand-dyed yarns. If you have any questions or concerns about your order or our product photography, please feel free to reach out to us.
Returns & refunds policy
At Veldt Fibres, we are committed to providing exceptional service, and any queries regarding refunds or returns will be addressed on an individual basis.
Please note:
If a partial payment arrangement has been made and the full payment has not been received by the arranged date, a voucher to the value of the already paid monies will be issued to the customer electronically on the date that the order was intended to ship.
We regret that we cannot offer refunds on lost or damaged parcels, as shipping is at your own risk. For more information on shipping, please refer to our Shipping Policy.
When possible, multiple orders will be combined into one parcel, streamlining the shipping process.
For subscription orders, preorders, and custom orders: there is no refund.
We do not offer refunds for colour discrepancies. While we make every effort to accurately portray yarn colours on our website and Instagram, individual device screens can impact colour perception. To minimize uncertainties, we encourage you to cross-reference colours by viewing our photos on different devices. If you have any questions or concerns related to yarn colour, please feel free to contact Natasha before placing your order.
Thank you for your understanding and support. We strive to ensure your satisfaction with our hand-dyed yarns and personalized service. Should you require assistance or have any further inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us. Your crafting journey with Veldt Fibres is our priority.
