The goods are now placed into your shopping cart which is shown on the right upper side of the website. As soon as you want to finish your purchase click on the "display cart" button. You now see your filled shopping cart and can still make changes (e.g. increase quantity or delete products). A common error can be that the desired quantity is not in stock. You can only order the amount that is actually in stock. Where necessary you can ask for the delivery date at [email protected]. To purchase the articles in your shopping cart please click "continue to next step". Option 1
If
you already have an account at kostuempalast.de, you just need your

your order transaction will go ahead. Please enter your billing address
and when necessary an alternative delivery address on the second step.
In case you wish delivery to a DHL Packstation please enter the dates at
the delivery address. Please make sure your data is correct. If your
e-mail address is not correct we can't send you an order confirmation or
the tracking number of your shipment.
In case you encounter any problems: The error can be that your address data is not filled out completely. You have to fill out all fields with a *. If you already have an account and did not log in you can't make an order with the same e-mail address. Then please use another e-mail address, log in or request a new password.

Now you're finished - your ordered goods will be delivered 1-2 days after receiving of payment (within Germany).

We can't tell you the date by phone or via e-mail because we don't know them due to data security. The new delivery of the data is sent with an automated mailing system.
This is generally caused by one of the following reasons: - Your e-mail address was not entered correctly during the order transaction
- Your mailbox is full and the order confirmation could not be delivered - The order confirmation ended up in your SPAM file
- Possibly your order was not completed because you registered as new client but did not place the order correclty.
If you did not confirm the general terms and conditions and your address data, you did not place an order. Your items should still be in the shopping cart. For sending out the confirmation again we need your correct e-mail address. Please send us an e-mail at [email protected] with the name of the customer. We will send out a copy of the order confirmation immidiately. When paying via wire transfer please state the order number. You placed an order - now the article is "not in stock"?If you could place an order there sure was only one piece in stock. The article was marked "low stock". Because you could place the order the article is now reserved for you and can't be ordered by other potential customers. That's why the article is now out of stock. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 3. Questions about sipping time and methods You have a question about your order? The most common question regarding orders is shipping time and when we send out the ordered goods. First of all shipment requires receipt of payment. Instant bank transfer orders and cash on delivery will be sent out as soon as possible. During our peak season of course there is a state of emergency and we will do everything to send out incoming orders as fast as possible. We know that all orders are needed as quickly as possible. Please wait for the automated e-mail with your DHL tracking number. With this number you can check the status of your delivery on www.dhl.de. How long are delivery times within Germany? DHL normally delivers within 24 hours, max. within 2 days. During our peak season in January/February you must expect 1-2 days processing time until your order is shipped. Orders leaving our warehouse on Friday won't all be delivered on Saturday, at the latest on Monday. We can't guarantee that an order placed on Friday (until 12 o'clock) will be delivered on Saturday. However ff you need the ordered goods on Saturday we suggest express Saturday delivery. Shipping with express always has an extra charge. Delivery on Saturday is even more expensive because DHL only has extra tours on Saturday. You can find the shipping costs here. On the day we send out your goods you will get an e-mail with the tracking number, so you can check the status of your delivery online at www.DHL.de. Once the shipment left our warehouse we don't have any influence on the delivery time. You have questions about the different delivery methods e.g. express within Germany? We ship by DHL. Delivery to a packstation is possible. You just have to fill out the necessary data during the order process ( your post ID and packstation number).

Are you not at home during the day and need delivery to an alternate address or do you look for another option for delivery? No problem: You can add an alternative delivery address during your order transaction. Delivery to an DHL packstation is also possible. If there's a packstation near you you just need a DHL ID number and the number of the packstation to pick up your package round the clock.

| 6. General questions about certain products
We
also consider it unacceptable that children from size 152 can't get
licenced costumes. The manufacturers produce always up to size 146 and
nothing taller. In this case please don't order a costume for adults.
Those are suitable for teenagers which are at least 15 years old. The
only possible alternative would be ordering a costume with cape or a
two-piece because they are at least more flexible. If you're interested
in a mask the same rules apply. Please don't order an adult mask for
kids, because they are too big and cannot find any hold on the child's
head. We generally advise against full masks for children.
One size means the producer does not offer different sizes for a product, but one standardized size. This costume shall fit for several sizes. We indicate the proper measurements or sizes. This can either be S-M or L-XL. Please measure on a lying piece of clothing from your wardrobe. Due to not yet paid orders there are many articles in stock which can't be ordered as they are reserved. Goods which are not paid within 7 days will be released again for online sale. As a result many currently not available items come back in stock. During our peak season bacause of a vast number of choice orders lots of goods are in circulation and many costumes are short-termed out of stock. Just click the link „Ich möchte informiert werden, sobald der Artikel wieder lieferbar ist“ to get informed when the article is back again or visit our site frequently. Maybe the article comes back at short notice. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
