HALLOWEEN COSTUME BUYING GUIDE |
First of all,
we actually own most of the costumes we write about. This
gives us the opportunity to evaluate them in real life and
see if they meet our needs. We always try to provide a
link to a suggested online retailer where you can purchase
the costume, mask and/or accessories. Many online costume
stores offer a large selection of unusual costumes that
can't be found in department stores, or even costume shops.
Plus, shopping online allows you to shop well in advance of
Halloween, avoiding the last-minute crowds and empty
shelves, all without leaving your home. |

Order your costume well in advance of Halloween. This
gives you time to make sure that it fills your needs,
and gives you time to accessorize. For obvious reasons, most
retailers of Halloween costumes don't give refunds on
costumes after Halloween has past, and this is
understandable. But most will let you exchange or return
unused costumes, before October 31st.
Many online retailers do not
actually stock the products they sell. They will pass
the order to a distributor and the product(s) will be
dropped shipped to you. The problem is that since they
don't actually stock their own products it often takes
longer for you to receive your order, or they might be
out of stock. We suggest that you only order from
reliable online retailers.
A costume is a costume...not!
The quality of Halloween costumes varies greatly.
Needless to say, the price is usually a good indicator
as to the quality of a costume, but not always. Since
Halloween comes only once a year, you want your costume
to look great, and its worth spending a little more to
really stand out in a crowd. |
