ordering
It says my item is out of stock - can I still order it?
When one of our products is out of stock, you may still have the option to order it. If you choose to order it, your item will go into our back-order system. If you don't have the option to order, it's because the item has been discontinued and we can't restock it, apologies. Depending on the nature of your order and the other items you've ordered, we may need to hold your whole order until everything is in stock, and then dispatch everything together. If you are ordering items that you need urgently, then please don't order out of stock items. f you would like to check the re-stocking date on any of our items, please contact us or call us on 01803 868001 as re-stocking times can vary from 1 week to 3 months.
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.
Why is my discount code not working?
Some discount codes require you to be signed in to your account on our website. This includes our welcome discount offer that you receive for subscribing to our mailing list. To sign in, click the ‘account’ button at the top right of the Greenfibres home page and enter your email and password. If you’ve not set up an account with us, then you can do that by also clicking on the ‘account’ button and following the options. Most of our discount codes have an expiry date, so please check that too. Many of our discount codes are for specific products or product ranges so please check you're using the code for products that are included. If you’ve checked the above and it’s still not working, then please let us know before placing your order, and we’ll be happy to help.  Please be aware that once you've paid for your order, we can't retrospectively apply a discount code, so please get in touch with us to get things sorted before paying for your order.

shipping
Do I need to be in to receive my order?
If you’re not in when your delivery arrives, you can nominate a safe place where the courier can leave your delivery. If not, the courier will either deliver to a neighbour or return to their depot to re-deliver. They will leave you a card letting you know where your delivery is.
My order has not arrived - can you help?
Of course! Very occasionally deliveries can go awry, and we're happy to help. If you’ve not received your order when you expected to, then please get in touch with us and we can help out.
Can I collect my order from you?
Absolutely. We’re based in Totnes, so if you live nearby or are visiting, then you can check the ‘collection’ option at the checkout. It can take us 2-3 days to process your order, and we’ll let you know when it’s ready for collection - so please don't head over until you've heard from us.

I’m not in the UK, can I still order?
Absolutely! Shipping times and prices vary depending on where you’re located and you’ll be shown delivery prices and options at the checkout. When you order from outside of the UK, you’ll pay VAT (tax) free prices at our checkout - this is approx 20% less for a lot of items, although can vary depending on the type of product.

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.

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.
