Timescales

Once your order is placed, our team will dispatch a pack to you within two working days which includes an inner packing bag, an outer packing bag, shipping labels and instructions on how to package your garment for collection. Then, simply let our team know when you’re ready for your collection to take place.
How do I book my collection?
To arrange your collection, simply email us at info@thedresscleaningcompany.co.uk stating your preferred collection day and we’ll take it from there.
NOTE: Our collections fall on Mondays and Tuesdays only – this allows us to receive your garment in-house by the end of the week.
Will I receive a collection timeslot?
Collection timeslots are one hour long and normally occur between 9am and 5pm. This slot is determined by DPD and cannot be changed – we recommend booking your collection for a day yourself or a representative will be able to stay in at any time. You will also be able to track the driver as they make their way to you via the DPD collections portal.
What is your current turnaround time?
Our timescale can vary based on our level of business, but our average standard turnaround time is eight weeks from receiving your garment in-house. Our turnaround time for Priority orders is ten working days from receiving your dress at our workshop to receiving a provisional dispatch date.
What happens when my dress is completed?
Once your dress is completed, we’ll send your After Images with a proposed dispatch date. Once you confirm this is suitable – or let us know you require a different date - we can book you in with DPD. Just like your collection, you’ll be given an hour-long timeslot on the day of delivery.
