Q: Do I pay full price when I buy an pre order item?

A: Generally, yes, if you add the item you want to shopping cart, checkout, you have paid full price for it. If the price listed is only down payment(which very seldomly happens), we will make it clear at the product page.

Q: What is down payment at Lolitawardrobe.com

A: Because most of Lolita items from Taobao indie brands are limited version, so we offer down payment service for those sweeties who are NOT ready to pay the full price. 

Q: Is down payment applicable to all of the items available at Lolitawardrobe.com?
A: Yes, down payment is applicable to all of the items available at Lolitawardrobe.com

A: Please enter the Down Payment page firstly and then follow the instructions to complete the down payment.

Q: How much should your down payment be?

Q: Is there an extra fee for down payment?

A: No, you finally pay the same as direct order. For example, if the pre-order item's full price is 100USD, the down payment is 20USD, then you just need to pay 80USD rest fee + shipping fee. If you pay full price, it is 100USD + shipping fee. So there's no extra shipping fee for down payment.

A: You can pay the rest fee when you think you are ready. However, you have to pay the rest fee before the item is ready for shipping, we will notify you by email when your item is close to finish and hope you can pay the rest at that time.  

NOTE: shipping fee of the item is included for the rest fee. 

Q: Could I cancel my down payment?

A: Sorry down payment can't be cancelled, but you could transfer it to a friend.
