Important Information about Ada and Ina Natural Curtain Fabrics

Fabric Samples

We have tried hard to represent our fabrics as accurately as possible on the website using state of the art photography and digital imaging. However, colours will vary between computer screens and this is out of our control. Due to the limitations of colour printing, image colours may vary from actual fabric colours, with certain colours (such as reds) being particularly difficult to reproduce. Use the images on this online shop only as a guide, please do not use them to colour match fabric. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you request a recent sample of the fabric prior to ordering unless slight differences in appearance are not important to your decision to order. Samples are a close representation of the fabric you choose but not as an exact match as there are often slight variations in colour between manufacturing batches. Ada & Ina cannot accept responsibility for any colour and shade variations and will not accept returns on this basis. 

Washing Ada and Ina Natural fabrics, Blinds and Made to Measure Curtains

Prewashing new fabrics generally ensures that there will be no uneven shrinkage and no transfer of colours when the finished piece is washed. These guidelines apply to most of our fabrics, but we would always advise testing a small piece first as manufacturing processes do vary. If you want to avoid shrinkage we advise you to use dry cleaning for all our fabrics. We do not recommend washing curtains and blinds in the water - ONLY dry cleaning is suitable for the curtains and the blinds.

Secure Online Ordering

Our site offers secure shopping facilities for your peace of mind.
We ship all parcels by tracked courier services (mainly DPD and TNT) unless agreed on delivery with Royal Mail (to UK). 
We offer following payment methods: Debit Cards, Visa, Mastercard and Discover services.
We also accept BACS and Amex payments for manually created invoices - kindly contact us for details.

VAT Changes from 1st of January 2021 to EU countries

Since 1st January 2021 on our website the prices to EU countries outside United Kingdom have automatically been VAT 0%. Since this date all orders sent from our warehouse in United Kingdom to EU, are treated as exports and all EU countries will require the local VAT (in Finland “ALV”, in Sweden “Moms”, in Germany “MwSt”) to be paid once the shipment is on the way to the delivery country, before the parcel will be delivered to you.

This will ensure that you will only pay the VAT once. By placing an order with us, you agree to pay the local VAT. The courier companies DPD, TNT and Postnord that we use for deliveries will make this as simple as possible. DPD sends an email and / or text message to the recipient about the charges to be paid once the parcel is on the way.

We are applying for Preferential treatment for the parcels based on the Country of Origin being either UK or EU. Therefore there should be no extra charges except paying the local VAT. However we cannot affect the outcome of the Customs decision. The Customs may for some reason, based on the feedback we have received, apply Duty to be paid as well, even though this should not happen. Additionally there may be a handling fee of approximately 6 Euros added to the invoice. Sadly we are not able to change the Customs decision.

We will be happy to offer support via email regarding questions you may have about this process.

Please note: A few customers using Gmail email, have commented, that the email sent from DPD does not show the payment link, but instead lots of seemingly random characters. The workaround that has worked for these customers is, if you scroll down all the way to the bottom of the email (it is very long), there should be a link saying “Show entire message” or similar text and if you click that, it should show the email properly.

Delivery time

Fabrics

Stock items are normally dispatched by return, but please allow 2 - 14 working days for receipt unless a specific date has been given by prior agreement.  In such a rare case that the fabric is out of stock delivery time can be up to 9 weeks. For mainland UK we offer DPD Next working day delivery as standard. The ''Next working day service is only offered by couriers as a non-guaranteed service although the success rate is approx 98%, therefore compensation is not available if ''Next working day'' delivery is not met. The estimated quantities of fabric or other items that we have in stock, displayed on the website, may not be accurate, although we update the fabric stock levels automatically upon receiving new orders and additionally use manual stock checks to keep the stock levels as close to actual metres in stock as possible. You may contact us at any time to check that we have the needed quantity in stock, before placing your order.

All of our fabrics will be sent folded unless you are ordering large quantities which may come supplied on a roll. If you wish to have your fabric delivered on a roll, please contact us prior to placing your order.

Made to Measure Curtains and Blinds

Delivery time is typically 10-15 work days + shipping, unless a specific date has been given by prior agreement. All the dates are estimations shall be in no form binding upon Ada & Ina ltd. However during the busiest period of the year (e.g. before Christmas) our lead time may be longer. Please have a look at our current lead time estimate. Because this is an estimate it cannot be guaranteed.

Reshipping products

Unfortunately in some cases the shipment cannot be delivered to the address you have specified. Couriers do try to contact you and/or to redeliver the shipment even if you are not home but in some rare cases even after multiple tries they cannot deliver. The shipping needs to be signed for by someone at the shipping address.

Kindly note that the items cannot be left at the shipping address without someone signing for the shipment. Please specify such a shipping address at where someone is available to sign for the shipment. Some couriers also offer the possibility to pick up the shipment from their warehouse for a limited period of time. If none of these shipping methods are successful, the items will be returned to Ada & Ina's warehouse.

If you receive a note from the courier that they were not able to reach you, please contact the courier company immediately to arrange redelivery. If you have any problems with your delivery, kindly contact us at [email protected] 

In the unlikely case that the ordered items are returned to our warehouse, the cost of reshipping any items is the responsibility of the customer.

Damaged, defective or incorrect items

If in the unlikely case that the fabric(s), made to measure curtains or blinds you have ordered are faulty, then a claim can only be made within 30 days after the order has been delivered. Please note that you must contact us and receive our return authorization before returning. Kindly ensure you have a receipt for your return postage/shipping charges as Ada and Ina Fabrics will not be responsible for items lost in the post during return. Please contact Ada & Ina before sending the goods back. Please note that fabric samples are a close representation of the fabric you choose but not as an exact match as there are often slight variations in colour between manufacturing batches. Ada & Ina cannot accept responsibility for any colour and shade variations and will not accept returns on this basis. Roman blinds are made with rods sewn at the back of the fabric panel to create the folds. The stitching lets some light through, most visible with blackout lining, but as this cannot be avoided, this cannot be considered a fault.

Due to variations in atmospheric conditions (temperature, humidity etc.), there may be a possibility of shrinkage or relaxation of curtains or blinds. It is important that the temperature and humidity of the surrounding environment should be controlled in order to prevent this. As such conditions are beyond our control, we are unable to accept any responsibility for the movement of curtains or blinds after delivery. However, we do ensure that adequate hems will have been allowed during the making of your curtains to allow alterations, should this be required. The cost of these alterations remains the responsibility of the customer.

Measuring

Made to measure and bespoke curtains and blinds are manufactured in accordance with the measurements provided by you. Please follow the instructions on how to measure curtains and blinds which are available on our website. If you are unsure, you can call us for advice and clarification. We cannot accept returns for made to measure curtains and blinds incorrectly measured by you, although we are happy to quote a price for any alterations that might be needed. We reserve the right to adjust the width of curtains +/-5% of the width, to avoid very narrow pieces of fabric on the sides of the curtains, if the width would be just slightly over a full fabric width. This does not apply for Rod pocket curtains, Flat panel curtains or Roman blinds for example. This is simply to make sure the curtains will look professionally made.

Credit Card Security

All credit card numbers are encrypted in the software when the order is placed using 128 bit encryption. We do not store any credit card details in our store's database. When an order is placed we will ask for the last three digits on the signature strip on the reverse of the card (CVV). This is a security check to help prevent credit card misuse.
