How long is a costume hire period?
A costume can be taken on any day of the week, depending on the function date of the party and must be returned the Monday after the party (provided availability of the costume). Prior arrangements can be made to change the pickup/drop off date of the costumes so please talk to us if you need to!
Customers who order costumes to be sent to them for a weekend event will normally receive their costume on the Wednesday/Thursday before the party and have to Express post it back to us the following Monday.
Costumes not received/returned on time will incur a late fee of $10 per costume per day the costume is not returned, until the full costume is returned.
Can I arrange to have the costume for longer if I want?
Are there additional charges associated with this?
You can arrange to keep a costume(s) for longer than a normal hire period subject to that costume’s availability. If you require your costume(s) for longer than a normal hire period please check with us when you book. Depending on the popularity of the costume we will determine if there is to be an additional hire fee.
What happens if my costume is late to be returned?
Costume(s) not received/returned on time will incur a late fee, unless you call us to make a prior arrangement. We generally give a one day grace period past the due date but after that a $10 late fee is incurred for each day the costume is not returned. On non-return of any items or non payment of any late fees/replacement fees a Bailiff will be appointed for recovery at the cost of the Hirer and the outstanding amount will be referred to the Small Claims Court.
What do you take as a deposit?
We take credit card details of the person hiring the costume(s). The credit card is not charged but details are kept until the costume is returned, at which point they are given back to the cardholder or we tear them up. If you do not have a credit card or would prefer not to give your credit card details as a bond, an additional $50/$100 is charged at the time of picking up your costume(s). This is refunded at the timely return of the costume, provided the costume is in its entirety and undamaged.
How will I know if the costume fits me?
For best fit we can take your measurements, but we take no responsibility if not able to try the costume on and there are no refunds. It is best if you can come into the shop for a fitting as if it needs altering and there is enough time we may be able to assist in a better fit
Once I book my costume can I swap it for another costume?
Provided it is arranged prior to collection (not less than 2 days notice) and not on the day of collection. Otherwise you will be charged either full costume hire or a cancellation fee. Depending on the day it is re arranged. So with enough notice yes you can swap it for another costume.
How far in advance do I need to book?
You can book your costume(s) up to 4 weeks prior to an event. Depending on your requirements, if you are after a very particular look the early you book the more likely you are to secure the costume you are after.
Why do you need to take a deposit?
The deposit is required to ensure people bring our costume(s) back and so that they understand that they are accountable for them. If you are picking up your costume the bond is taken at the time you collect or book your costume. We take credit card details or a $50/$100 cash/card payment as a bond. If you are getting your costume sent to you, we will keep your credit card details from your order over the phone. Your bond will be refunded to you (if you paid $100 per costume) or given back to you/ripped up (if you gave Credit card details).
