WHAT IF I HAVE GENERAL QUESTIONS BEFORE MAKING MY CUSTOM ORDER?
We understand that ordering custom apparel can be a complex matter. For that, we have compiled a document based on our many customer questions we have received. Please CLICK HERE to access. If you still have questions after looking over the documentation or if you are unsure about something, please feel free to contact one of our customer service representatives at 877-374-3299 or via Live Chat on our Customer Service page.

MY EVENT IS IN LESS THAN 2/3 WEEKS, CAN I RUSH MY ORDER?
Depending on how soon your need is, we do have an expedited service available. We can sometimes accommodate 3-4 weeks delivery turnaround for orders shipped to the US. For international orders this time frame may be extended. Please contact us to find out more about pricing and availability of this service. Note that during our high season this service may not always be available. Alternately, feel free to visit our Ready Made Attire category for items that are available for immediate shipment.

I NEED A SPECIFIC EMBROIDERY COLOR. DO I HAVE TO PURCHASE AN EMBROIDERY BOOKLET?
If you need an embroidery color to match a specific color you have already chosen for your wedding or event, we strongly recommend purchasing our Marathon embroidery sample booklet. This booklet contains samples of all 300+ colors in the actual thread that will be used to make our custom designs. Click HERE for additional information.

You can also view the colors online. However, the shades can often vary depending on the monitor you are viewing it from. The online swatch matching system is for a basic reference of color, not for exact accuracy. If used and relied upon for an exact match, it is done so at your own risk. If this method is used WeddingTropics cannot be responsible if the color received does not match properly. If the embroidery color received is not what you expected, our standard "custom order" return/exchange policy will still apply.

ARE YOUR SIZES AMERICAN SIZES?
For "Ready Made Attire" our sizes run fairly true to size. However, since not all designers and brands run the same, we would suggest measuring each person to ensure the proper size is ordered.

SIZING MY CUSTOM SHIRTS, CUSTOM LINEN PANTS, and LINEN SUITS
Each item is made to measure meaning that we use the specific measurements provided by you. We would suggest measuring each person to ensure the proper fit is achieved.

HOW DO I KNOW THE CORRECT SIZE FOR MY CUSTOM SHIRTS, CUSTOM LINEN PANTS, or LINEN SUITS? To view our size charts click here. We strongly recommend following the instructions carefully. These measurements can be taken easily at home with the assistance of another person or you can also go to a tailor to obtain these measurements. If a tailor is used, we suggest printing out our measurement instructions, as they may not be accustomed to our measuring style. We often emphasize (probably over emphasize) the importance of obtaining accurate measurements.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MY MEASUREMENTS AND THE ONES OF MY FINISHED PRODUCT? To produce your Custom Made shirt, a specific percentage is added to certain measurements provided to ensure a good fit. The neck, shirt height, and sleeve length measurements will be used as is. The chest, belly, hip, and shoulder measurements will have room added for comfort and correct fit. Our "Relaxed" fit has a slightly larger percentage added as opposed to our "Fitted" style.

WHAT ARE THE SHIPPING COSTS FOR "CUSTOM MADE" ITEMS? Our custom apparel is manufactured in Central America on an expedient basis, therefore must be imported into the US via air freight.

You may also have your order shipped to a work or alternate address that may be more secure.

CAN I "OPT OUT" OF SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION? Signature confirmation is designed to protect both the recipient as well as the shipper. This may be somewhat inconvenient, as it requires the recipient to be present at the time of delivery. All packages valued over $200 are shipped using USPS Signature Confirmation. If your order is over $200 and you do not want nor require this service you can request to opt out. This may be a good decision if you consider your residence or delivery location to be safe and secure as your order may be left without supervision.

WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?
We accept all major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and PayPal payments.

WHY IS MY CREDIT CARD PAYMENT NOT WORKING?
If your credit card is not being accepted by our system, it is generally because either a mistake was made while typing in the info, or the “Billing Address” indicated on your order does not match that on your credit card statement or records. Please verify for correct info and try again.

If several unsuccessful charges are made, your credit card company may place a block on your card. If you experience this, please contact our Customer Service department first so that we may also look into the issue. Keep in mind that some credit card companies place a block on online purchases over a certain amount. If this is the case, contact your credit card company and inform them that you will be making a purchase with our company (the company name associated with the payment will be "The Guayabera, LLC").

WHAT ARE THE WASH AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS?
We always recommend dry-cleaning, particularly on the multi-color embroidered shirts and contrast color shirts, but also on plain shirts. To keep your 100% linen garments looking new, we always recommend dry-cleaning as it will prevent against standard fabric breakdown resulting in loss of luster and shrinkage.
