One might assume that returning their tuxedo is the easiest part of the wedding process, but we have seen time and time again that this can be made difficult in some situations. Here are some things you need to know to make your return go smoothly.
1. Anyone Can Return Your Tuxedo.
We understand that not everyone lives close to our store. We also realize that people are from out of state and that the groom will most likely be on his honeymoon and will not be thinking about returning his tuxedo. You are absolutely allowed to send everything with someone else! It does not have to be someone from the wedding party, so if you have to send it with a friend that is fine as well. There are late fees involved if you return late, so if you're really having trouble returning you need to give us a call so we know what is going on. Don't wait for the fees to pile up.
2. You Are Absolutely Allowed to Clean Your Tuxedo.
What do I mean by this? Well we know you are most likely going to get something on your tuxedo, whether it is a spot or a stain and that is okay. We don't expect you to clean off every spot on your tuxedo after your event. If your child is in the wedding, we expect that they are going to get a bit messy. Also, there is insurance on the tuxedo for that very reason. What I am referring to would be more major messes. If your tuxedo is to the point that we would have a hard time checking over it when you bring it back, you may want to consider cleaning it. If you are not sure of the safest way to do that call us.
3. Check Your Pockets.
Luckily we do not often get things of importance when we are checking over returns, but still take the time to check your pockets. We check them upon returns, but every now and then something gets missed. You especially want to check your pockets if you are having someone else bring your tuxedo back for you. We have found sun glasses, flasks, cigars, personal cuff links, etc. but thankfully most people do not forget money or their wallets in their tux. Even if you do not think you left anything in your pockets, still check them. It does not hurt to be cautious.
