Placing
your order
Following
our guidelines for ordering below should ensure a successful
and trouble-free delivery, so please take a moment to
read the following information:
Selection
Browse through our designs
to find your favorite style, consider its silhouette
options and choose the color
and fabric. For advice on choosing the most
flattering design please click here.
To determine the correct sizes, click
here for sizing information. We aim to make
the ordering process simple for you and we welcome your
calls should you have any questions. Please note that
there are default selections for certain styles. Dresses
where the A-line or column options are not selected will
be made in the default and more popular A-line style.
*Try-On
program*
For those who are not able to visit our showrooms in Washington
DC, Boston or Los Angeles, we offer a try-on program,
in which you are able to request that your favorite design
be sent to you for consideration up close. Please see
the following for more details.
Placing
your bridal party's order
A.
If dresses are being paid for by each individual bridesmaid...
Each
paying person is required to print, complete and sign
their own order form and the accompanying ordering agreement.
These completed forms are then to be collected by the
bride, or an appointed person within the bridal party.
This is to ensure that all items ordered, including dresses
and accessories, will be cut and made from the same bolt
of material, guaranteeing dye-lot match. Finally, they
should be submitted to Aria's main office in Pasadena,
either by fax, or by mail(track-able method
recommended).
B.
If all dresses are being paid for by one person only...
Only the person who is responsible for paying is required
to print, complete and sign an order form and the accompanying
ordering agreement. If dresses are to be shipped to various
locations, we ask that detailed shipping instructions
be submitted along with your order forms. The completed
forms can then be sent to Aria's main office in Pasadena,
either by fax, or by mail(track-able method
recommended).
Discount
We
now offer a 10% discount to bridal parties ordering 6
or more dresses or ensembles at
the same time.
The
discount does not apply to accessories.
You
may also call us at (800) 658-8885 to request a faxed
or mailed copy. Sorry,
we cannot accept verbal orders over the phone.
Our fax number is: 626-584-6450 or
you may mail completed order forms to: Aria 892 North
Fair Oaks Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91103. Aria takes your
privacy seriously, our privacy policy is
here.
Orders
must be faxed or mailed to us or may be placed in our
showroom. For your protection (and ours) we must have
a signed order form and order agreement.
Size, extra length and other details
should be clearly added to the proper locations on the
order form. If any accompanying paperwork contradicts
the order form specifications then the order form is what
will be followed. Aria Boston and DC do not handle ordering.
Aria Los Angeles is the contact for all of this. Please
be sure that we do not get the same orders twice! For
instance, a faxed and a duplicate mailed copy.
Order
Confirmations
For
your peace of mind, we will always call or email the bride
to confirm orders received within about 1 business day.
If you do not hear from us within about 2 business days
after you have faxed your order or one week for a mailed
order then it should be considered abnormal. This would
most likely mean that we have not received your order.
It is truly necessary to contact us if
no confirmation is received.
Timing
Most orders
are completed within 12 weeks(3 months) from the day we
receive the completed order forms (with the orders in
from all the members of the wedding party that are ordering
from us). We
strongly recommend that we receive all the orders for
a bridal party 4 months before the wedding or earlier.
If
your order is ready before the projected ready date it
will be sent out earlier. We are not able to accept orders
where the projected ready date will be less than 10 days
before the wedding.
Rush
Orders
Depending
on fabric availability we are often able to accept 4 to
6 week rush orders, the additional fee is 30%. Please
call before rush ordering to confirm it is possible.
Payment
Full payment for your order is required when we begin
the production of your garments. We accept Visa, MasterCard,
Discover card and personal checks. If payment by check
is desired, please reference the bride's name on the check.
Please note that a $40 handling fee will be added to all
returned checks.
Ordering
from outside the USA
For
Canadian customers, please note that any duty/tax/brokerage
should be collected by your UPS driver upon delivery.
Please check with the Canadian Border Service agency for
an estimation of any fees:
From
within Canada: 1-800-461-9999 or 1-506-636-5064
or you can visit their website: http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/
Other
international customers may email us for a shipping quote
but this will not include any possible duty/tax/brokerage
which we will not be able to estimate.
Returns,
exchanges and orders
We will accept returns or exchanges should item(s) received
be defective, provided that we are notified within 5 days
of receipt of items. Otherwise, since all our garments
are made only after your order is placed, all sales are
final. Aria
is not responsible should an incorrect size be ordered
(please be sure to refer to our size chart when ordering).
Should a return be necessary please notify Aria immediately
to request a return authorization number. Items must be
returned in the original condition, shipped at the customer's
expense within 10 days of receipt of said items by a trackable
method. Even in circumstances where we have agreed to
reimburse shipping we will not reimburse for overnight
or second day expedited shipping. Returned garments that
have been altered cannot be accepted and we do not alter
dresses for customers. For returns or exchanges, please
contact us by calling 1-800-658-8885. The
order cannot be cancelled after the dress is sent to the
customer. If
it is cancelled before any of the dresses are sent, most
often, a 50% refund would be possible. Aria's charges
will not include any duties or taxes that might be assessed
for international orders and Aria will not refund anything
on the order should the consignee refuse to pay them.
We reserve the right to replace, repair or refund depending
on the situation regardless of what is preferred. We also
reserve the right to refuse orders for our merchandise
from anyone.
Shipping
All Aria garments are shipped via UPS. (Typically three
to five business-days). The shipping cost for the continental
US is as follows:
If
one single dress/ensemble is being shipped to one location,
the cost will be $15.
If
multiple dresses/ensembles are being shipped to the same
location, the cost will be $15 for the first dress/ensemble
and $7 for each additional. Again, this is if more than
one dress/ensemble is being shipped to only one location.
Accessories
such as purses, shawls or ties that accompany a dress
do not add to the shipping cost.
Please
note that the above shipping cost applies to US mainland
customers only. Those in Canada, Alaska, Hawaii or other
overseas locations will need to contact us to make special
arrangements and get a shipping quote. Fabric that is
ordered is usually sent prior to the shipping of the rest
of the order; the additional fabric shipping cost is $7.
It
is up to the UPS driver's discretion whether they feel
that it is safe to leave the package without a signature
-it is not Aria's decision. Undelivered items returned
to us to be resent again will be charged an additional
shipping fee equal to the original shipping fee. Our terms,
conditions and prices are subject to change without notice.
Items
ordered are not available to be picked up from any of
our showrooms.
