WEARING OUR GARMENTS

Upon your purchase, you will receive an instructions card on how to properly care for your hire garment. Please read through this carefully before wearing your designer piece. 

 The hirer must treat the garment with care and respect and no alterations are to be made to the garment. Please do not steam or iron any garments without permission from Thankyou Next Hire.

​We are fine with you using fashion tape with your rental, but we do ask that once your event is over you very carefully take the fashion tape off the garment. If this is not after your event the adhesive can transfer onto the garment causing damage (fees will apply if this occurs, sadly we are not able to remove the adhesive ourselves, the garment will need to be taken to the dry cleaners for professional cleaning).

​We understand that outfits can look best with fake tan, but please ensure you wash off the top layer of tan - If the top layer of tan is not washed off your tan will significantly transfer onto the garment. This can cause permanent staining to the garment (unfortunately fees do apply if the garment is stained).

RETURNING YOUR HIRE GARMENT

All hire garments MUST be returned UNWASHED and the hirer MUST make Thankyou Next Hire aware of any damages or marks made during their hire period.

​Please DO NOT try and wash or fix any garments, a cleaning fee is included in the original hire purchase price. We take care of our hire pieces and we understand accidents can happen but please DO NOT try and clean the garment piece yourself as in most cases this can lead to further staining/damage. If the garment is returned unfixable Thankyou Next Hire has the right to charge the full retail price of the gown to replace it. If you have stained your hire garment we ask that you please let us know before the garment is returned.

 The hirer must return the garment by 4 pm on the return date of the booking. Do not leave the garment unattended at the drop off location without permission from Thankyou Next Hire. It is the hirers responsibility to arrange a time to drop off the garment with Thankyou Next Hire. 

 If the hire garment requires additional cleaning, repairs, or replacement, Thankyou Next Hire has the right to charge the hirer the cost of damages, this includes the original retail price of the garment. It does not matter if the dress is not brand new, the hirer will be charged for this replacement.

 If the garment hired has been damaged beyond repair and a replacement cannot be bought, the hirer will be charged the full cost of any and all hires booked after, that need to be cancelled due to their fault.

TRY-ON APPOINTMENTS

Try on's are available by appointment only! If you want to make a try-on appointment with Thankyou Next Hire, you will need to book via our online booking system on our website. 

Try-on appointments cost a small fee of $10. This small fee is redeemable towards your hiring purchase (eg. if your garment costs $110 to hire, you only have $100 left to pay!) This fee is non-refundable for cancellations, no shows or unsuccessful try-ons.

To redeem this $10 fee, please contact via on instagram @thankyounexthire (a one time code will be given). If you don't ask us for the code, the $10 will not be deducted from your hire purchase.

Each appointment is strictly 30 minutes only and one person trying per appointment time.

Please make sure you arrive on time to maximise your trying time. If you arrive late to your appointment, this will cut into your trying time. You can bring family/friends with you, please note that the try on space is too small for bigger parties so in this case we only allow yourself and up to 2 guests.

Try-ons are local only - postal try ons are not available. Before your try on please let us know what garments you are wanting to try, we will do our absolute best to make sure they are available for your appointment. If the garment you wish to hire is booked during your appointment time, you will be contacted regarding cancelling or rescheduling your appointment.

We strongly recommend to avoid this happening, book your try on during the week. Most of our hires are booked over the weekend so the chances of the garment being hired for your try on appointment are quite high. Please check with us for garment availability prior to booking your appointment.

Please note: Try on bookings does not hold your garment for hire - to secure your hire a full payment must be made.
