​
You can also make an order by post. Simply make a list of the ribbons you wish to purchase, including details of the widths, colours and lengths you require. Be sure to include your name, address and a contact number.

DELIVERY
We send your ribbons via First Class Royal Mail, Royal Mail Special Delivery, Parcel Force or Royal Mail AirSure (for international orders).
Ordinarily, We aim to dispatch ribbons the same day via First Class Royal Mail. Where there is going to be a delay, we will do our best to get in touch with you to let you know. If your order is urgent, give us a ring on 0191 597 2892 and we can advise you of estimated dispatch times. You can choose to have your orders sent by Next Day Delivery but, again, do get in touch if your order is urgent so we can confirm that your ribbons are in stock. Where orders are received late in the afternoon, we will do our best to dispatch them immediately but where this is not possible, they will be sent the following morning. Again, do get in touch if your order is urgent. 
​
It is your responsibility to ensure that you provide us with the correct delivery address. Where an incorrect address is given, we reserve the right to charge for re-delivery. 
​
​
FAULTY OR MISSING / INCORRECT ITEMS
If your items are faulty or incorrect in any way, then get in touch with us as soon as you can within 30 days so that we can put things right. 
The quickest way to contact us is by phone on 0191 597 2892 but you can also email us on: contact@theribbonshop.co.uk
We will replace missing or faulty items immediately without further charge and do our best to rectify the situation as soon as possible. 
​
​
RETURNS
If you're unsure which ribbon to choose, please make use of our free sampling service. 
If you find your ribbons are unsuitable, then you are more than welcome to return them for a refund. 
Please ensure they arrive with us in their original, saleable condition within 30 days and note that we're unable to refund any postage costs.
We recommend that you use tracked postage to return your ribbons to be certain they arrive safely. 
​
PLEASE NOTE THAT CUT LENGTHS OF RIBBON & BESPOKE ORDERS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE UNLESS FAULTY. 
​
​
COLOUR REPRODUCTION
We do our best to make sure the photos on our website are as true as possible but we are very happy to send samples as we understand that all monitors vary and  it's important to get exactly the ribbon you want.
Ordinarily, we send five samples free of charge but do get in touch with us if you have a particular need and we'll try to help. 
​
We are also very happy to provide a colour-matching service. You can send us a swatch of the colour you're trying to match or a Pantone number and we'll send you samples of our closest matches. If it's urgent, we can make suggestions by phone / email  if you email us an image. 
You are welcome to call us on 0191 597 2892, email us at contact@theribbonshop.co.uk, or drop us a line. 
​
We like to send samples out as quickly as possible, usually the same day by First Class Royal Mail, so you shouldn't have long to wait. 
​
