Terms & Conditions
BEFORE THE HIRE
To hire an outfit, message @02hire on Instagram with the following details:
- The outfit you would like to hire
- The date of your event
- Whether you would like to pick up from Dingley Village, 3172, or require postage. We also offer a guaranteed Melbourne-wide delivery service for last-minute bookings.
Once everything is agreed upon, a photo of a valid form of ID must be sent for security. Payment and bond will be taken at this stage.
Deposits: To secure an outfit for a future event, we accept a 50% deposit to ensure its availability on your required date. Your hire is NOT confirmed until payment is made.
A refundable bond is required for all hires. This bond will be refunded once the outfit is returned on time and in good condition. The bond amount is determined by the RRP of the garment, but is usually $50. If the hire is returned late, a late fee of $15 per day will be deducted from the bond. Any extra cleaning required will also be deducted from the bond.
LOCAL TRY-ONS
We do not offer in-house try-ons. However, you can collect up to four garments to try on in your own space. The bond payment of $50 is due to try them on combined, this will get credited to your hire if you decide to book any of them in. If none of them work out, $35 will be refunded, making it only $15 to try on all up.
POSTAL TRY-ONS
Postal try-ons cost 15% of the hire price + $25 express two-way postage, and a $50 bond is required. The try-on cost and bond will be credited towards your hire if you decide to book it in for your event. We will choose a date where the piece is available to send off to try on, then it must be lodged back at the post office within 24 hours of the package delivering. If the piece doesn't work out, the $50 bond will be refunded.
ISSUES WITH FIT
Local Pickup Hires:
If your outfit does not fit, you can return it the same day for a refund, minus a $15 try-on fee. You can also swap it for a different outfit (subject to availability) with no cancellation fee.
Postal Hires:
If your outfit does not fit, you can return it for a store credit minus a $25 cancellation fee and shipping fees. You must notify 02HIRE and post back the item within 24 hours of the package being delivered.
