How long have you been in business?
We have been in business since 1976. In those thirty nine years we
have grown from regional fabric and sewing stores into AllBrands.com,
with over 5000 products - and more added daily!
How long does it take to get my order?
We process all orders paid on-line within 24 business hours. Unless
otherwise indicated on the product page, orders usually ship within
one business day of being placed. Back ordered items will be shipped
as soon as possible. Click here for more shipping information.
Can I track my package?
If you included an e-mail address with your order, you’ll automatically
get an order confirmation complete with your order number. In addition,
most orders will get an e-mail with tracking information when the order
ships. Because we still have a few vendors that do not use computers
in their operations, tracking numbers are not e-mailed for 100% of orders
at this time. If you have concerns about the status of your order, please
visit My Account or e-mail us. Click here for more shipping information.
Can I change my order?
Because of our automated order processing system, orders are electronically
approved and transmitted when you submit the order. As a result, changes
cannot be made to your order once it is complete. If you want to add
to your order, simply place a new one. Call us for help if your order
contains an error.
Are your products new?
Yes, our products are new, although we do sell some factory-serviced
products when available. Refer to individual product pages for designated
factory serviced (FS) machines when available.
What are Factory Serviced products?
We are able to offer incredible savings on some products that are
available factory serviced. Factory serviced items have been returned
to the manufacturer for a variety of reasons including: returns to the
retail store of purchase, items with a cosmetic blemish, demonstration
units and items with slight defects. In addition, new items that are
overstocks are labeled factory serviced. In all instances, the product
is shipped to the factory, inspected, restored to original factory specifications
if required, tested and repackaged. These products cannot be sold as
new, so they are considered "factory serviced". Because of
the rigorous inspection and testing process, the defect rate of factory
serviced products is actually much lower than that on items sold new.
How long are these prices good for?
The current price is on the website. However, our prices are subject
to change without notice, depending on our supply.
Do you add sales tax?
AllBrands.com is required to collect sales tax for all orders that are shipped
to Louisiana or Texas. Orders outside of Louisiana and Texas will always be sales tax free.
For international orders shipped to Canada, Australia, or the United Kingdom, we collect duties and taxes to prevent costly delays as your packages are passed through customs. For shipments to other countries, you may be required to pay additional brokerage fees, duties, and tariffs.
What are the manufacturer’s warranties?
Where applicable, the manufacturer’s warranty information is
noted on the product page.
Will a local dealer service a machine purchased from AllBrands.com?
Dealers are not under any contractual obligation to provide free service.
We will service and re-deliver any home machines we sold within the
contiguous U.S. needing warranty service within the first 30 days at
our cost.
Are you listed with the Better Business Bureau?
Yes, look for us under AllBrands.com. You can call the Baton Rouge
Better Business Bureau at (225) 346-5222 or visit them online at: www.bbb.org.
Do you match prices?
A If you find an identical item that is in stock with a lower price,
we’ll do our best to match the price. Price matches are valid
only BEFORE you place your order. When comparing prices, availability,
shipping and taxes will be included in our price match decision.
Do you send sewing machines out on trial?
No. However, if we have a demo model that can be shipped from open
stock we are more likely to accept exchange on it than one brand new
in a factory sealed carton. Once it has been opened, we cannot sell
it as new or for the same price.
Is there one brand that is best?
No, it depends entirely on your price range, needs, and feature requirements.
The best brand at $200 is not necessarily the best at $3000. That’s
why we carry so many brands, to give our customer quality options no
matter their budget.
How do I learn how to use my machine?
If you find that the instruction book is not adequate for your needs,
inquire about availability of instructional videos, supplemental workbooks,
etc. that might apply to your model, or call 1-866- 255-2726 for customer
service, or e-mail us
for on-line service. We can solve 95% of operational, mechanical, or
technical service problems on the phone, via e-mail, or fax.
Is there any discount for ordering 2 machines at one time?
Our prices are every day low prices. Further reductions would depend
on our making better buys or on close-outs. We do pass along savings
as we get them.
Who owns your company?
We are a family-owned company. Our owners are John and Annette Douthat.
John is an expert sewing machine technician with nearly 30 years experience
and Annette formerly managed our retail operations and taught sewing
classes for 28 years. Their children also help in this growing business.
How can I get more information on a specific product?
If you cannot find the product information you are looking for, e-mail
us or call toll-free at 1-800-739-7374 within the U.S.or 225-923-1285
outside the U.S..
What if I am overseas with 220 volt power outlets?
Non-heat producing appliances can use a 200
Watt step-up, step-down transformer or the 500
Watt step-up, step-down transformer whether you are overseas using
a 110V machine or in the U.S. using a 220V machine. Irons and products
that draw heat require 1000 to 2000 watt transformers which we do not
sell. Sewing machines require only 200 watt transformers.
What if my order arrives damaged?
If you received your order and it is damaged, e-mail
us immediately. If your order is to be delivered by a freight company,
please inspect contents before signing acceptance and note any package
damage on bill of lading. If contents inside are damaged, refuse delivery
and don't sign the delivery ticket. Once you sign for the shipment,
it is your responsibility to file a claim.
