Special Order Merchandise:

 

• All sales are final. No refunds, exchanges or cancellations under any circumstances.
• All special orders require at least a 50% non-refundable deposit to place the order. To receive a discount, payment in full must be made at the time of purchase. Called in Bridesmaid’s orders require full payment by check or money order.
• The balance on special orders is due within 30 days of merchandise arriving at Germaine’s Fashion and Bridal.
• We are not liable for color variations or shipping delays by the manufacturer.
• Wedding gowns and dresses are NOT made to your exact measurements.  We carefully take your measurements to determine the recommended size on the manufacturer’s size chart.  Most dresses run small so it is not uncommon to order a larger size than you normally wear.  Bust, waist, hip and height measurements determine the gown size to be ordered.  Our consultants will suggest the proper size to order, however a perfect fit is not always possible.  We will order the size you request, as we want to please you, but you will need to sign off on it.  If this is the case, we are not responsible if the garment does not fit when it arrives.
• Called in measurements will error to the larger size if questionable and must be accompanied by a signed Sizing Form along with full payment by check or money order.  Your receipt is your check or money order.  No dresses will be ordered without a signed form and full payment.  Additional charges vary with each manufacturer but all manufacturers charge for extra length, size (usually 16+), rush cuts, etc.  Please consult Germaine’s for these charges.
• Accounts are subject to late fees and returned check fees.
• Delivery for bridal gowns can take anywhere from 16 to 24 weeks.  Because of this we recommend beginning the ordering process for your gown approximately 9 months prior to your wedding day.  This will give you time for alterations.  We will contact you (the bride) by phone when your gown arrives.  Bridesmaids gowns can take up to 16 weeks to receive, therefore we recommend starting this ordering process at least 6 to 7 months prior to the wedding.  The bride will be contacted when the dresses arrive.  It is the bride's responsibility to contact her bridesmaids.
• Any merchandise left longer than 30 days pasted original wear date will become the property of Germaine’s.  All deposits and payments will be forfeited.
