The Thread Together online store is accessible via our Shopify website using your customer login. Once your application has been approved we will supply you with login details and how to activate your account.
How often can I place online orders?
Given the large increase in demand for our service, we ask that you only place orders to fulfil immediate and urgent requirements for the most vulnerable clients. Some items are in higher demand than others and we do experience stock shortages in popular categories.
How do I return items if they are not suitable?
When we do not have the exact sizes or requested items in stock we try to send through the closest size we have at that time.
If items / sizes received are not suitable for your clients, we ask that you pass them onto someone in need as we cannot accept returns at this stage.
We have new stock arriving each week, so you are welcome to place another order.
