Canada Post Labour Disruption
Due to the ongoing Canada Post strike, shipping delays are expected. We are using alternative carriers for most addresses to minimize disruptions and will select the most cost-effective option for your order.
Please note:
We cannot ship to PO Boxes at this time.
Rural addresses may experience significant delays due to limited service availability.
If there are any issues with shipping your order, we will contact you directly. For the latest updates on the Canada Post strike, visit canadapost.ca/negotiations.
If you have questions or concerns about your shipment, feel free to reach out to us.

RETURNS
We want you to love your new fabric order! If you have received an incorrect item or there is a mistake in your order, please email us at info@blackbirdfabrics and we will make things right.
All sales are final. Once an order has been placed and the fabric has been cut, we cannot accept refunds or exchanges for other products in the store.
We do our best to ensure the colour of the fabric online matches as closely as possible to the bolt in the shop. We shoot our photographs in natural light and agonize over the exact shade and colour description in our photos and fabric listings. However, due to the vast colour variances in every monitor and mobile device, we cannot guarantee the colour will be an exact match to what you see online. Ordering a fabric swatch on the fabric product page is the best way to make sure that you are getting exactly the colour and texture you want.
Our care instructions come straight from our distributors or fabric manufacturers. Please follow the care instructions found on the label and in the product listing as we are unable to accept returns for fabric that has been damaged in the washing process or laundered incorrectly.
If you have any questions or concerns, you can email us at info@blackbirdfabrics.com for further assistance. We're always happy to help!
