Lords Sewing prefer to demonstrate machines and give a personal quality service to customers at Oswaldtwistle Mills. For those who purchase new Brother machines by post:

During the warranty period of three years Brother machines can be taken to any authorised repair centre in the UK for guarantee repair (parts and labour) or returned to ourselves, where we will arrange collection, repair and return. This covers problems relating to faulty components and/or poor workmanship and providing that the machine has been used for domestic purposes.

Many issues can be overcome by contacting us and working through them on the telephone, in any event please call us if you are experiencing problems.

What is not covered by warranty: Consumable items such as: needles, needle threaders, bobbins, light bulbs, belts, loopers, blades etc – which are stated on the manufacturers guarantee document.

Most problems are down to user error or misunderstanding of the machine functions and uses. We are very knowledgeable about our products and can help you overcome issues over the phone. Our line is not a premium number and our free help and advice is always available.

Telephone 01254 389171 and we will do our best help you.

14-DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE: If you wish to cancel your order or return the products you must let us know as soon as possible by phone on 01254 389171 or email to authorise a return. Products must be returned within 14 days for us to enable a speedy refund.

With the exception of items that were delivered and found to be damaged or faulty, products being returned for a refund must be unused and unopened. They must also be returned in their original packaging and in new condition to our address above.

Please note that the customer will be responsible for the costs of returning the Products to us unless we delivered the items to you in error or the Products are faulty. For your protection, we recommend that a recorded delivery service is used and adequate insurance for the Product value.

Lords will adjust the amount refunded to recover reasonable costs for replacing any items found to be missing from orders that have been returned or for damage suffered in transit or negligence. It is up to the customer to check that all items that were included in the original order are not missing before being parcelled up and returned. This includes any additional products supplied at no charge with your order.
