Pricing
All pricing is by arrangement with each department store, boutique, salon, store, designer or tailor.
We do not offer open accounts (i.e., accounts where statements are submitted at the end of each month to the paying entity at the end of each month). We operate our "store accounts" on the same basis as our pickup and delivery accounts.
Our payment system works like this…..
Every time we make a delivery, we’ll charge each service order ticket directly to your account. Then, every Friday night, we'll automatically charge the accumulated balance on your account (the total of all your service order tickets) to a credit card of your choice.
We accept American Express, Discover, Mastercard and Visa.
Please remember that your "store account" is an account of convenience, not a revolving credit account. The sole purpose of the account is to accumulate your individual charges over a 5 day period pending a lump sum charge to your credit card every Friday night.
