We will post cheques to you within 5 Working Days of the last Working Day of the calendar month in which the dress/ dresses have been hired.

Where the parties agree and where you provide details of your bank account, the payment of the balance of the hire charge (the hire charge less our 15% fee) may be paid to you by bank transfer.

You are solely responsible for any and all fees charged by the bank or other financial institution for the banking or cashing in of the cheque and/ or arising in connection with any bank transfer.

COLLECTION AND RETURN

Your dress/ dresses will be collected by a courier and delivered to the relevant dress-hirer/ dress-hirers in time for the start of the relevant hire period/ hire periods.

We will contact you to confirm a collection date and time for your dress/ dresses and also a return delivery date and time (which will be approximately 7 days after collection where the dress is hired for the standard hire period). The return delivery date may vary based upon: (a) the hire period; (b) your collection and delivery address; and (c) whether the dress/ dresses require extra cleaning/ repair after being worn by the dress-hirer/ dress-hirers.
