Customer Service

GENERAL INFORMATION

What is FLAX's approach to customer service?

At FLAX, we’re dedicated to providing the best possible shopping experience, guided by principles we've upheld since 1938:

    • Service – We treat customers the way we’d want to be treated.
    • Selection – As artists and crafters ourselves, we use what we sell and stand by its quality.
    • Price – Honest, everyday low prices. If you find it cheaper elsewhere, we’ll match it.
    • Inspiration – We believe art is for everyone. Our role is to invite participation and spark creativity.

Can I ask for product advice or creative guidance?

Absolutely! Our trained staff is happy to help with product use, applications, and creative ideas. If you’re not able to come in store, just ask FLAX.

Does FLAX offer price matching?

Yes! Our goal is to consistently offer the best selection and the best prices. If you find an identical item being sold for less, we will refund you the difference within 10 days of purchase (receipt required). If you haven’t made the purchase yet, we’ll match the price with proof of the lower price.

To qualify, the item must match in brand and style number. For online price comparisons, the competitor must have the item in stock, and their shipping fees must be included in the price.

Exclusions: Prices based on bundled offers (e.g., “buy one, get one”), as well as prices after rebates, coupons, or discount codes.
