| What payment methods
do you accept? |
| |
I accept: Pay Pal (Prefered)
If you don't have a Pay Pal account, i can take cash but I strongly
advise you don't use this method if you can help it. If you have to
please ensure the envelop is well sealed and send via regesterd mail
for your own protection.
PayPal is the prefered choice because it is easier and provides customers
with added security.

| Why do your costumes
cost so much? |
| |
The Charges comprise of: Material
costs & Labour.
Materials are sourced as needed, because each item is custom made,
which is why fabric costs will be a bit higher than what is availible
from large companies who have bulk buying power.
I work to around the minimum wage mark, which when you compair this
to what your nearest taylor/dress maker would charge to construct
the same costume is actualy good value for money.
Please also remember you are simply paying for the materials and pure
construction time, the time and effort that goes into putting together
a pattern for an item and sourcing the materials your getting for
free.

| Why is having
insurance on my P&P recomended? |
| |
|
Having your package insured means that it is covered in the event
of loss or damage during delivery. It also means that there is proof
that the package has been both sent and recieved as all items will
require signing for when delivered.
If you choose to save on cost by not having your item insured, then
it is you who will be taking the risk as I will not be responsable
for items which are lost /damaged during delivery if the package
is not insured.
|
| |
| What is your refund
policy? |
| |
Because each item is indvidually
made and will not get shipped unless its of an acceptable standard.
There will be no refunds or returns once the item has been shipped
all bar one exception.
If you have used insured P&P and the item is lost/damaged during
shipping i will be able to claim compensation from the shipping company
and pass this on to you as a form of refund.
If in the unlikly situation the product is not as requested (as i
always send photos during construction and upon completion to ensure
it is as required before shipping), I am happy to make amendments
at no extra material/labor charge, however the buyer is responsable
for shipping the item back to me for these amendments. |

| Why do you not
publish all the prices? |
| |
| I don't publish prices because they
change so frequently. If materials become more expensive, the prices
go up. If I refine a pattern to be easier, the prices go down. If
I find a better way to do something, the prices go down. Things like
this will have an effect on the price. |
| |
| I can get this
costume for £x from Ebay or somewhere else will you prices lower
to match theres? |
| |
The simple answer to this one is no.
Basically costumes you can purchase from somewhere like ebay are made
in countries where the material costs are significantly lower and
the minimum wage is probably much lower as well. I provide good value
for money at UK prices.
If you can find someone who will make your outfit cheaper and money
is an issue, please get your outfit from them, I won't take it personally
