AVOID THIS COMPANY

I have repeatedly tried to contact this company regarding my botched order:
I contacted them via email on Friday 22nd September 2023 at 11.19am,
I called their number (0116 254 2366) and left a message on 21st October 2023 at 09.58am
I contacted them via their online 'Contact Us' form on their tia knight website, and lastly I sent an email on 3rd Jan 2024 at 3.01pm.

Part of my order (20 x(1/2M) Pieces Ponte Double Knit Stretch Jersey Fabric- Black) was unusable because it is of varying weights, opacity, sheen and shades of black. This was not mentioned anywhere in the product description - the fabric can not be used to make a garment of any kind. I noticed this after trying to make cardigans from the fabric - none of the fabric pieces matched.

From their lack of response, it is clear that they deliberately sent me twenty pieces of unusable scrap fabric that they had laying around, and charged me £40 plus postage for it.

Please, please avoid this unscrupulous company, the negative reviews are not exaggerated - these people are total scammers.

Hi Sandra
It's quite unfortunate to see this feedback from you, especially after the fact that we did reply to your original email on the 22nd September- the same day you contacted us. We did also respond to your second email- please do check your spam mail as this may have unfortunately moved there. Regarding this order, you did indeed order a clearance/seconds line and as per our company policy, we cannot accept any returns/refunds for such items as they are heavily discounted and clearance. Furthermore, we did mention in the products description that these off-cut/remnant pieces may differ to one another because they have come off the end of the rolls which may have been from different batches over the past years we've stocked them. However, despite this, as a gesture of good will, we did indeed offer you a credit note for your order. Unfortunately, it seems you have not seen any of our email replies, so I hope you can please check your mail and get back to us soon so we can apply your credit as discussed. Thank you.
Kind regards- Tia Knight.

Not very pleasant experience at first, but the issue was solved.

Updated: Finally I was contacted, issued a full refund on my order and received a generous gift voucher too.

Unfortunately very poor customer service. The company ignores my emails for 3 weeks already.
My parcel was returned back to the seller due to their own mistake. Then they posted it again, but did not provide a tracking number. No replies to my emails about the tracking number. No solution offered. Dissapointed.

Hi Ieva, thank you for your feedback and we do apologise again for the delay in response to your email. As already informed, because this was during the very busy festive period, we have been extremely inundated, and also with the warehouse being shut during that time, you could not unfortunately receive a faster response from us.
We appreciate your kind understanding in this case.
Kind regards- Tia Knight

An amazing place to get fabric

This is such an amazing idea, the instructions are really easy to follow and is such a relaxing project. I bought this to make a blanket for my 7 month year old puppy for Christmas. The fleece is so warm and soft and the people running this business are so kind. I went to their shop in Leicester and they have so many amazing fabrics for all kinds of crafts. I will most certainly be buying from them again. If you have any questions just give them a call and they are more than happy to help.

I was impressed by the quick service

I was impressed by the quick service. I have ordered from here before and been disappointed once before but this time all was fine. The fabric was ok... Honestly I think you get what you pay for and I haven't had any issue with my fabric.

Competitive pricing with great service

I have been ordering from Tia Knight Fabrics for a few years. Competitive pricing across the store (I do check other companies).
I have never been disappointed with their service. I am always kept up to date with my orders, which are packaged with care and no order has been incorrect, fabric has been as described.

Fantastic fabric shop

Fantastic fabric shop. Tia knight offers a great swimwear and dancewear range. Great quality foil and Lycra fabrics in my opinion. Other fabric shops aren’t as good and tia’s is by far the best and fab price range. Thank you all for the great service as always ☺️

Poor fabric and poor customer care!

Ordered the wet look foil fabric in various colours. Whilst making the garments the foil was starting to come off. Washed the garments on a cool wash and on one colour all of the foil washed off! Tia Knights fobbed me off saying to hand wash but it was coming off before I washed it on a cool wash! Poor customer care and in this case poor quality fabric not fit for purpose!
I washed the fabric on a 20 degree cool wash and all the foil came off...
It took numerous emails to get a refund of only one of the lengths of wet look foil ordered I'm still stuck with substandard fabric and out of pocket!!

Hi Emma, it's sad to hear you've left us this review despite the communication we've had with you. Our wet look foil fabric is unfortunately not suitable for a standard 20/30 degree machine wash (cold hand wash only) and no where is it mentioned on our site or by us to do this. Unfortunately, instead of asking us for the care instructions, you went ahead and machine washed the fabric which has caused some of the foil to come off. Despite this, we issued you a full refund for the fabric you raised the complaint for. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Kind regards- Tia.

Shocking service fabric terrible

Shocking service fabric terrible
I have used Tia knights for years for Lycra and now the quality is rubbish
I sent an email stating how unhappy I was and the reply was Thankyou for letting us know
I had to use them again for a fabric that I had used last year so clicked in the old order and choose reorder
So same fabric number so surely it must be the same
No it’s cheap rubbish that has came in place and black streaks through the middle
Again I sent an email this time a complaint and they asked for pictures to which I have sent and no response
Needless to say lessen learned clearly they are using cheaper suppliers
Not good enough won’t be using again and will tell my colleagues in the dance costume world aswell

I'm on my 4th order and very happy with them so far. Staff are knowledgeable on the phone and they were helpful in combining 3 of my orders as I kept forgetting things.

EXTRA SCAM POSTAGE FOR NO REASON

Have used several times in the past, no serious problems, HOWEVER...... They now tell me I have to pay an extra £5 postage as I am not on UK Mainland, strange as I have lived on Mainland for nearly 60 years! Also as Royal Mail DON'T discriminate on location, I presume the extra postage goes into their own pockets. Pretty disgusted.
Now a few days later and they insist on fraudulently claiming extra money for their own pockets. I sent them a copy of Royal Mail's page showing their interpretation of UK Mainland, therefore SAME postage to Highlands n Islands, Scilly Isles n Isle of Man as the rest of UK. Absolutely sick of being ripped off because of my postcode.

Hi S. Campbell,
We are sorry you were not happy to pay any postage costs, however since the weight of your order was over the required amount to send with the standard Royal Mail service on our end, we had to use our alternative tracked courier service which unfortunately do charge us this fee. We are not unnecessarily taking any extra fees from you as you claim as we only requested the fee which we required to send that particular order of yours with the alternative delivery service which was DPD. We may have previously sent out your past orders with DPD free of charge for you which unfortunately came out of our own pockets, but I'm afraid we can no longer send any orders (over a certain weight) using this courier to any postcodes outside of the UK mainland without charging the shipping fee. Although Royal Mail do classify your postcode as inside of the UK Mainland, DPD and other express/tracked delivery services unfortunately do not, therefore we cannot afford to use there services to send out such orders without the shipping charge. I hope you can understand.
Kind regards- Tia.

Lovely fabric

I have bought velour velvet fabric from this company on two separate occasion and found it to be excellent quality and lovely to work with. When I did send them a message with a query it was answered promptly and professionally. I will be back for more!

Soiled and cutting fabric short. Awful customer service!

Tia knight’s Customer service is terrible. I was sent less fabric than I ordered, plus it was soiled. It took over a week to get a response. All they offered was 15% off a future purchase. No offer to send out the shortfall or replace the damaged fabric. I have spent quite a lot of money with Tia knight in the past and you’d think they would value repeat business, obviously not! I will not be buying from them again! There are much better fabric retailers out there. I would recommend you take your custom elsewhere.

Excellent quality, excellent prices, excellent customer service and excellent delivery.

I absolutely love this online shop for fabrics. They have a very broad range of fabrics and I've never been disappointed with the quality. In fact, I find their fabric quality often surpasses that of Minerva Crafts for example. Whatsmore, they are half, sometimes a third of the price of Minerva. I just bought a pink single jersey from Minerva, which was £12.99pm. I went onto TiaKnight for a colour Minerva didn't have at £3.99pm. When they arrived, they were exactly the same (except the colour)! Also, the last time I used Tia a few months back, I found their customer service extremely efficient, polite and helpful. Very impressed for a company I really knew nothing about and hadn't used before. I also like that their free delivery threshold is £25, which is quite reasonable. At their prices you can get a lot of fabric for £25. Arrived quickly, despite covid and the paper receipt was ticked off and highlighted, so they'd clearly been very diligent in making sure everything was correct. They have now been bumped to my No1 go to online fabric store.
