Frequently Asked Questions


How will I know you received my order? Within 24 hours of placing your order (or by Monday if your order is placed over the weekend), you will hear from us via e-mail. We will review your order and may ask questions regarding specifics such as location of personalization, gift wrap requirements, and so on. In addition, at that time, we will confirm current availability and estimated dispatch date.


Will you confirm my order? Yes, yes, yes, and yes! We will confirm your order shortly after it is placed. We will confirm the progress being made should your selection require customization. If you wish, we will do our best to confirm your selection has been shipped upon departure from us or the manufacturer's factory.


When will my order be shipped? Shipment of your selection may take anywhere from a few days, to a few weeks, to a few months depending on the availability of the item. Generally, however, if your selection does not require customization or production, we can dispatch it to you straightaway. Bespoke goods, many of our fine English leather goods and umbrellas may require require longer periods of time to be produced and have dispatched to us from England.


What credit cards are accepted? We accept American Express, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, EuroCard, and JCB Card.


When are credit cards charged for an order? If your selection includes an item that must be custom made for you, a 50% deposit may be charged to your credit card, after your order has been confirmed with the manufacturer. If your selection does not require custom manufacture, your credit card will be processed upon personalization and/or shipment to you or your recipient.


What about sending a check? We are happy to accommodate those wishing to pay with a check.
