HALLOWEEN COSTUME BUYING
TIPS |
|
 Many
online costume stores offer a large selection of unusual Halloween costumes that can't be found in
department stores, or even costume shops. And shopping online allows you to shop well in
advance of Halloween, avoiding the last-minute crowds and empty shelves, all without
leaving your home.
Order your costume well in advance of
Halloween. This gives you time to make sure that it fits well, fills your needs and to accessorize.
For obvious reasons, most retailers of Halloween costumes don't give refunds on costumes
after Halloween has past, and this is understandable. But most will let you exchange or
return unused costumes before October 31st.
Many online retailers do not actually stock
the products they sell. They will pass the order to a distributor and the product(s) will
be dropped shipped to you. The problem is that since they don't actually stock their own
products it often takes longer for you to receive your order, or they might be out of
stock. We suggest that you only order from reliable online retailers such as those listed
as sources in our "how-to" articles or those you've used before.
A costume is a costume, not! Quality of
Halloween costumes vary greatly. Needless to say, the price is usually a good
indicator as to the quality of a costume, but not always. Since Halloween comes only once
a year, you want your costume to look great, and its worth spending a little more to
really stand out in a crowd.
