Frequently asked questions

What size it?

Please use the measurements and info provided in the item details. Letter and number sizing is an approximation. There is no industry standard on sizing, so it can be subjective. (This is why you might wear a 2 from one big box store and a 6 from another.) I urge you to use the measurements provided to determine your best fit.

What is your best price / Can I get a discount?

My prices are fair and firm. Sorry, I don't give discounts.

How does combined shipping work?

When buying multiple items, shipping will auto-combine in your cart. On the rare occasion there will still be an overage. I refund overages exceeding $3.

Do you offer local pick-up?

Only for people I know.
