TERMS:
Thank you for you cooperation with our order terms, which saves us hours of time and allows us to focus on fulfilling your order promptly! Our business success has for over 20 years depended on our ability to meet your deadline. We do it well- please work with us by following these guidelines:

ALL orders must be prepaid, including shipping charges. Orders are not processed until we have BOTH your order AND your payment.
Put it in writing! Verbal order information can be misunderstood. The best way is to submit your order on this (or the appropriate) form. We will contact you if we need clarification.
No FAX- urgent order: If your order is time sensitive, you have printed out this form and filled in the information, but cannot FAX, feel free to place a bank card phone order with us. The fact that you have worked through the questions on the form will aid enormously!
SPECIAL TERMS IN GRADUATION SEASON: Any custom regalia order placed from March 1-May 31 that is needed within 8 weeks is automatically charged a Seasonal Surcharge of 20% of the order total, minimum fee $20. The rest of the year allow 6 weeks lead time, with 20%/min $20 added if less. Shipping charges necessary to fulfill your order on time are NOT included in the surcharge.
Emailed forms: We get a huge volume of email. If you choose to submit your order by email (method: copy the text and paste into email, inserting your info) please use flags, bells, whistles, and follow up with a call the next day to make sure we have prioritized it. Email orders must include at least half of the bankcard information. Follow up with a second email for the remaining half (Subject= "[your name] order part 2"), or just send all of it at once, depending on your comfort level.
FAXed orders must have a bankcard number for payment written on this form. Your card information is very secure. If you call to ask us to include a number on a previously FAXed order, we will have to spend time tracking down your original FAX, or since it was incomplete it may have been rejected and not available at all. We will honor requests for us to call you for your card number, but it will delay your order.
If you want to pay by check or money order, do not email or FAX this form. It will NOT speed up your order as we do not process it until payment is received. A double-shipment or lost order could result. Both the form and your payment must be submitted together. Use a courier service (FedEx, UPS) air letter for RUSH orders.
We will let you know if there are any problems fulfilling your order as requested. You will not be charged for items that are not supplied.
Please allow time for your order to be received and processed before calling about the current status. We understand perfectly your concern that we have received your order, and are happy to verify that for you.

Any concerns with your order must be directed to The Robe Shop, either by phone or email. Our staff has been directed to respond promptly to all concerns that are expressed in a rational manner. Yelling, threats, or vulgar language releases The Robe Shop from any further obligations to resolve your issue.

DO NOT SHIP IT ANYWHERE UNTIL YOU HAVE CONTACTED US. All order questions or problems must be directed to us, the retailer, NOT our wholesale suppliers.
For a detailed customer service policy and more return/exchange information for anything in our Qwick-Ship Line, featuring finely tailored ready-made garments, please see our About Us page, policy section.
