Can I track my sample order?

Unfortunately, because we ship samples through United States Postal service, they cannot be tracked.

Why does the color of the (Brand Name) fabric I purchased not match the exact same (Brand Name) fabric that I already own?

Slight color variations from roll to roll—regardless of the mill—are commonplace in the textile industry due to dye lot variations, and occur at the origin of manufacture.  If your project requires an exact color match, you’ll want your fabrics to come from the same roll or from a single order.
