TAX Washington residents must add 10.5% tax on full amount including shipping. All other states: Sales tax may be applicable and is added at invoicing. Please submit a State tax-exempt form with your order if appropriate. Note: We cannot remove your sales tax assessment once it has been invoiced

DELIVERY TIME: Meeting your important deadline is everything. We are experts at handling rush orders! For the best service at the lowest cost, please provide an accurate and specific "need-by" date. Usually this would be one day prior to wearing, to allow for variations in delivery time. Please note that once your order is in process with your chosen target date, the date cannot be changed. Items needed within 3 weeks are priced more per item. Most orders ship directly from our plant as this saves delivery time, and for this reason invoices are mailed separately after your order arrives. Collegiate rental note: Although we make every effort to provide correct hoods for late orders, we cannot guarantee correct hood colors if your rental is ordered less than 2 weeks in advance.
Foreign orders: Please see Order FAQ for delivery details to foreign addresses

IMPORTANT NOTE ON RENTAL RETURNS: All rental returns go back to the plant, not our West Coast offices, and are expected to be completed within 2 weeks of the wearing. Shipping information and/or return label is included in your rental package.
PROMPT RETURN OF YOUR RENTAL ITEMS IN GOOD CONDITION WILL INSURE THAT YOU ARE NOT LIABLE FOR REPLACEMENT COSTS. Missing or damaged items will be invoiced at the current replacement value ($110 per plain gown, more for academic regalia, as of 2/2013). Rentals not returned within 30 days of wearing require us to track down the unreturned items. Administrative time for this necessitates a $50 MINIMUM RENTAL RETRIEVAL FEE on any rental that is eventually returned late as a result of our notification efforts to find them PLUS rental fees for each month past the weardate the items were unreturned. Your choice to rent from The Robe Shop is an agreement to these terms.
PLEASE MAKE SURE ALL PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RENTAL RETURN ARE MADE AWARE! We find that in larger groups, or with hectic events, sometimes the robes end up in the hands of someone who is not even aware that the robes need to be returned, when, or how. This leads to problems- plan now to make sure the return labels, return boxes and need for prompt return are identified to all people involved.
