Question 1

How do I use the lockers?

Question 2

What is the turnaround time?

Accepted Answer

Place an order before 10am and wash and fold orders will be returned the next day, dry cleaning within 2 days. If you have a mixed order of both services your order will be returned within the dry-cleaning time. If you require your wash and fold the next day we recommend you place 2 separate orders. This excludes Saturday, Sunday locker drop off, public holidays and garments that require special services or a stain treatment or restoration.  Please pay your invoice the day you receive it to guarantee your delivery back to locker locations without delay.

Question 3

How do I make payment?

Accepted Answer

When you create an account at our homepage online and place an order, as your clothes are processed you will be sent an invoice with a pay selection. Once invoice has been paid you will receive an alert confirming payment. Please pay invoices the day you receive it to avoid delivery delays. If payment is not made the day of receiving the invoice, this could delay delivery times until payment has been confirmed.

Question 4

How do I let you know what is in my order?

Accepted Answer

You can write your order in the special requests section (write wash & fold if you have a wash & folder order, to ensure your clothes do not get dry cleaned). You are not required to tell us what is in your order if you do not have time, you can place your clothes in the locker and we sort through it. Do not forget to write wash & fold if it is a wash and fold order.

You are then sent an itemised invoice. As above you do have the option to write down each item in the notes section when placing an order. Either way works.  Please remember to write the words "wash and fold" in the notes section for all wash and fold orders.

Question 5

Do I need to weigh my wash and fold orders?

Accepted Answer

No. You do not need to weigh your wash and fold we do this for you. If you would like to weigh your wash and fold prior to placing in the lockers, we recommend travel scales or normal bathroom scales also work. Please remember to write wash & fold in the special requests section when placing an order.

Question 6

How do I make special requests for my order or use your alterations service?

Accepted Answer

If you have any special requests or alterations, please include details in your order in the notes section online. Please place all alterations in a laundry bag.
