WHAT IS YOUR RETURN POLICY?

Due to the nature of Women's Formal Wear Business, manufacturers do not accept returns from retail or online stores after a 3 day period. Therefore, you can be sure that retailers inspect their merchandise very carefully! If a store does accept returns from customers such as yourself, there is always a possibility that this garment has found it's way to other homes and possibly other functions! Our only guarantee that no one has ever previously received or worn the garment you have chosen is to accept a  NO RETURN-ALL SALES FINAL  policy, both online and in our retail store.

Our shipping department will inspect all garments thoroughly again before shipping so if there appears to be a damage you should contact us within 24 hours of receipt.

Cancelling an Order: You will not be able to cancel your order if we have already shipped the item or special ordered it for you.

WEAR DATE

The wear date field during checkout is where the customer should indicate the last day they are willing to receive their order. If we cannot deliver by this date, we will send you an email letting you know that the order had to be canceled.  Know that all orders shipped standard shipping take from 3-5 days within the continental USA. If you need your dress sooner than that you must request expedited shipping during checkout.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE MY ORDER TO ARRIVE AFTER I PURCAHSE IT?

All (in-stock items) will ship either the same day, or next business day via UPS Service.

All (not in-stock items) will be immediately ordered from the manufacturer. Your order would be processed and shipping information will be sent to you via email. The total time you could expect to receive your order would be 7-10 business days.

WHAT IF THE ITEM I ORDERED IS NOT IN STOCK?

If the item you order isn't in our store stock, we will contact the manufacturer directy in an attempt to special order the item. If the item is in stock at the manufacturer and we can assure ourselves we can deliver it to you by your wear date we will proceed with the order. If the item is in production at the manufacturer and we can guarantee the item to arrive by your wear date information, we will proceed with the order. In instances where the item is not available we will promptly contact you and offer you an  immediate refund, either via email or telephone.

WHY ARE YOUR PRICES LOWER ONLINE THAN IN YOUR RETAIL STORE?

IN STORE:

Due to the high costs of customer service and tremendous In-Stock selection that Sugarplum offers in our brick and mortar location, we are unable to offer our online prices.
All our in store inventory has Sugarplum labels only and there are no visible, discernable sizes marked in the garment. Our fabulous sales associates make sure that you have been fitted properly for the perfect garment for your occcasion.

Therefore, our in store location offers no style and size information to take back to the internet (either sugarplumonline, or any other website).

ONLINE STORE:

Since you have done all the shopping online and have needed very little assistance from us, the cost is considerably less to do business. Sugarplumonline internet business is handled in a seperate manner than our retail shop, by a seperate division.

**10% discount on orders of 3 or more dresses

BEST PRICE GUARANTEE:

SUGARPLUM will honor the best price you can find on any garment we offer or maufacturer that we represent  on the internet if you provide us with a proper link to find this garment. Our gift certificate will be taken into the cost adjustment factor.

HOW DO I KNOW MY SIZE?

Most manufacturers sizing run very small, remember you are buying a proper fit, not a number!

If you find your measurements are borderline, it is always safest to go to the bigger size. Dresses can always be made smaller and rarely can they be released properly! We will post most manufacturers size charts with each item. We suggest that you use our  measuring techniques. However, due to the costliness of these garments and you feel uncertain as to which size to choose, please call us toll free or email us and a customer service representative will be happy to assist you with your size selection.

HOW TO MEASURE:

Use a tailors tapemeasure.

Take your measurements over your undergarments that you will be wearing.

SNUG but NOT TIGHT, MEASURE and RECORD:

1. BUST: Measure across fullest part of bust

2. WAIST: Measure at natural waist

3. HIPS: Measure around FULLEST part of hips,

approx. where thigh bends

Still need help?..Due to the costliness of our garments, if you feel uncertain as to which size to choose, we're happy to assist you. Call us toll free or email us to help you with your size selection.
