NOTE! You will need to sign for your package!!!
The Registered mail requires a signature upon delivery. The purpose of this is to provide legal proof that the letter/parcel has reached the person to whom it was sent in the event of questions of theft or fraud at a later time.
If you are not home when the mail man comes to deliver the package, you will need to go pick it up at the local post office or catch the mail man the next day so you can sign for it.

HOW THE FABRICS ARE BEING PACKED
Our parcel is ideally packed and enclosed in a reasonably strong case wrapper, or cover fastened in a manner calculated to preserve the contents from loss or damage in the post, to prevent any tampering therewith, and to protect other postal articles from being damaged in any way thereby.
The ordered fabrics by any of our clients are packed in a strong wrapper with an outer covering of cloth or a strong semi plastic pack. We send the fabric/s ordered by our clients via bolts which are double-folded continuous pieces of fabric that are rolled onto themselves, without any wooden log, cardboard or any other solid base to pack around it in between because it is very impractical to send international shipments with so much weight inside the package. Moreover, practically speaking, sometimes a heavyweight package can get damaged fast and easily while in transit from one country to another, therefore, we try our best to pack the ordered fabric/s in the best optimum way. In this way we also try save the environment in every way possible including by using less cardboard for packing the ordered fabric/s.
The fabric/s are packed very neatly to our best effort (*please note that it cannot be done via a machine, so it is done manually) but still, if any wrinkles may get on the fabric/s after receiving them then kindly bear and also try to understand that the shipment is being sent from one country to another (along with thousands of other exported things).
The fabric/s sent by us are always without any holes or defects or any marks (99.5%) but kindly note that some bolts from which we send the ordered fabric/s to our clients may contain sampling holes for quality control tests or fabric markings and the usable yardage is considered at least 90% (this is especially applicable to natural fiber fabrics where more sampling/checking is required due to the nature of the fiber being used), therefore, if by chance any of our client gets the ordered fabric with any holes or any mark (on a small piece of the ordered fabric) then please bear with it (it may happen in 1 out of 100 shipments which we send).
‘Wrinkles’ is a procedural phenomenon caused during handling, folding and dispatch. Those wrinkles flatten on normal ironing. Therefore, no complaint shall be entertained by ZS Fabrics on this account.
