ordering
It says my item is out of stock - can I still order it?
Sometimes we can sell out of a particular product, a specific size or colourway.  When this happens you won't be able to order it through our website.  If the product is discontinued (i.e. we won't be restocking it) we'll note this on the product page, otherwise our re-stocking times can vary from 1 week to a few months.  If you'd like to check when a product is coming back in to stock then please contact us or call us on 01803 868001 and we'll be happy to help or put you on our call back list for when the products are available again.   
Can I order over the phone?
Yes, you can call us on 01803 868001 and we’ll be happy to take your order over the phone. If you’re ordering from our catalogue please be aware that we no longer supply paper catalogues, and our last one was produced in 2017 and there have been changes to products, prices and details. We're here to take your call from Monday - Friday, from 9am til 5pm, except Wednesday when we close at 12:30. We're usually closed over bank holidays too.
My order is pending, what does this mean?
If your payment fails, or you choose to pay by bank transfer, then your order goes into a pending status. You can either make payment via bank transfer, or contact us to pay over the phone with a credit or debit card. After 7 days, pending orders are deleted, so if you'd like your order please make payment within 7 days to avoid this happening. If you no longer want the order, then just let us know or leave it as it is and we'll delete it. Please be aware, items are not reserved when they are in a pending order, and if stocks are low then items can sell out and they may not be available when you come to pay for them.

We accept returns for any reason within 30 days of delivery, provided they’re unworn, unused and unwashed, and any original packaging/tags still attached* We reserve the right to refuse to refund any items that don’t meet this criteria. Once we receive your item, we’ll refund you back the way you paid. You’ll need to cover the cost of the return shipping. You may want to opt for a tracked delivery service or obtain proof of posting so you can follow up with the Post Office or your courier if it doesn't reach us, because if we don't receive your return, we can't refund you.

product care and info
Does the elastic in your underwear contain latex?
We use a few different suppliers of underwear, so if you want to check a specific product, then please get in touch with us. In general, our underwear that has elastic waistbands do contain latex within the elastic. However, for most underwear the elastic is completely encased in the organic cotton fabric, so only the organic cotton touches your skin. Some of our underwear has eye holes where you can remove the elastic from them, and replace with a drawstring. We aim to make all this clear on our individual products but if you would like to check anything out in further detail, then please let us know.
Is Greenfibres certified organic?
Yes - Greenfibres is certified to GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), and the certification process is carried out by the Soil Association. This means that all the products we have made just for us - including our towels, bed linen and mattresses are covered by our certification. It means that everyone in our supply chain is also GOTS certified, which covers environmental and ethical criteria. We also stock products that are made by other people that are also certified to GOTS or in the case of skincare, to COSMOS, and this is noted on all the products we stock. For some items, it’s not yet possible to gain certification, so we note this on the product info too.
How do I care for my wool, silk or camel hair duvet?
Our organic duvets made from wool, silk or camel hair have the natural capacity to regenerate themselves, simply air them regularly, outside whenever possible, if not then over the banister or a door is fine too.
Do I need to wash my bed linen before I use it?
Because our bed linen is certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) you don't need to wash it before using it.
It looks like there are marks on my bed linen?
If you see darker marks on your bed linen, then please be assured this is also completely normal, and is not dirt on the fabric. This is what's known as ‘trash’. It is the tiny pieces of the organic cotton bolls, such as like leaves and twigs that are still attached to the cotton fibre when it is picked, and does not get fully filtered through in the ginning process.
