GARMENT PRICES, CUSTOMS TAXES~ International Orders
All garment prices are in Australian dollars (AUD). Paypal will convert this to your currency at checkout. Note that all garment prices are not inclusive of any customs taxes. Buyers are responsible for paying any customs taxes (such as VAT for European customers). Normally, customs taxes are collected by the national postal service (for example, Royal Mail, Deutsche Post etc) on behalf of the government, and they are payable at local post offices.
Whilst Ventriloquist Court® cannot offer any clothing discounts to international customers who may need to pay customs taxes to their respective governments, please expect to see a small gift or two in your package as a thank you from Ventriloquist Court® for your order!
USA CUSTOMERS
Many US states now collect sales tax on online purchases.
The sales tax rate for the purchase of clothing varies across US states. For instance, at the time of writing (02 April 2019), the state of Oklahoma imposes a 7% sales tax rate on clothing.
Ventriloquist Court® is unaware of the process of how US states collect sales tax (presumably, sales tax would be payable at the buyer’s local post office/ or perhaps USPS would bill the buyer upon receipt of the package and allow for online payment).
EXCHANGES & REFUNDS
Exchanges: YES (contact within 3 business days, and return within 7 business days)
If your garment does not fit well or if it arrives damaged, you must contact Ventriloquist Court® within 3 business days of delivery with photographs showing proof of ill-fitting or damage, and then wrap up the garment in appropriate packaging and lodge this package containing the garment at the post office within 7 business days from the date in which you received your package. Return shipping is covered by Ventriloquist Court®. A new garment will be made as soon as possible and shipped out to you only upon receipt of the returned garment.
Full Refunds: YES for missing packages
In the rare case that your package goes missing in the post, your options are either a full refund or to request a new garment (which will promptly be made for you and then shipped out to you as soon as possible). A missing package is the non-arrival of a package sent to Australian addresses by 15 business days, or non-arrival of an international package by 25 business days.
Refunds for customers who’ve change their minds: NO
Apologies, however, much time and effort goes into the hand-making of each custom garment made specifically to fit a customer. Ventriloquist Court® is a small handmade business, and cannot afford to issue refunds simply on the basis that customers have changed their minds about a purchase. This strict no refund for completed orders policy is a safeguard against fraudulent purchases, and applies only to completed orders, not to cancellations made prior to shipping. A full refund will be issued to customers who request a cancellation of their order prior to shipping.
XXL TO PLUS-SIZES
For customers whose measurements are the following (bust: over 39 inches, waist: over 35 inches, hips: over 40 inches), please contact me first with your measurements for a quote. There may be an additional fee to cover extra fabric expenses as well as for the extra time needed to draw up garment patterns and to create textile art (additional pleating, hand sewing and use of floral buds, additional buttons etc).
After a price is agreed upon for the garment/s, you will be directly invoiced by email and have the option to pay by Paypal funds or credit card processed by Paypal guest check out.
