Zipper replacement & repairs questions
Can a broken zipper be fixed without replacing it?
Sometimes a new slider or stop is enough. Your tailor checks it at the visit and quotes the cheaper fix when it will hold.
When is my card charged?
Your card is saved when you book and charged only after your order is back with you, for the amount you approved. We never charge more than the approved quote without asking you first.
Is there sales tax on alterations in New York?
No. New York excludes tailoring and alterations to clothing from sales tax, including reasonable, separately stated alterations to new clothing.
