FAQs

Shipping & Delivery

  • Is REAL TIME FASHION shipping / packaging Ecological ?

Ecology is an important matter to us. That’s why we keep looking for new ways of reducing the ecological footprint of our deliveries. On one hand, we try to reduce the fuel consumprition of our deliveries. We achieve that optimising the size and format of the packaging where you receive your order. On the orher hand, we are continuously looking for new materials that are more ecological, more recyclable or resuable, to package your orders.

This means that for us is more important that your package is ecological, rather than beautiful. This could be difficult to understand from a marketing point of view. We strongly believe that it would be irresponsible to use non-ecological materials in a package whose useful lifetime is maximum 5 days (ie between our factories and your doorstep).

Unfortunately, depeinding on the country we can use one or other type of packaging, rest assured it will be the most ecological we can use, ensuring an optimal delivery to your place.

  • What is the delivery time for my order ?

It normally takes only 21 working days in total for producing your Product and shipping anywhere in the world. In fact we aer the fastest company offering quality made to order / custom clothing.

If the estimated date of delivery is on a weekend, the delivery will most likely arrive on the following Monday. Whilst average delivery time is 21 working days, REAL TIME FASHION guarantees the delivery time will be not longer than 30 working days except in situations, events or circumstances, which are beyond our control. That’s why in case you need our garment for a specific event, you should place your order with enough time in advance. We can’t accept returns due to delivery delays.
