1) Accepted Payment Methods
PayPal is temporarily unavailable at the moment.
We currently accept credit card payments via a secure, PCI-compliant gateway.

3) Important (Please Read)
-
If your payment fails, please contact your card issuer and confirm this is a legitimate purchase you are authorizing (a cosplay costume order), then try again.
-
If your payment is successful, this is not a fraudulent transaction. We have been making cosplay costumes since 2007.
-
Banks may apply FX or international fees, so your statement can show a slightly different amount/descriptor — this is normal.
4) Failed Payments (Common Reasons)
Your payment may fail due to:
-
Bank security rules for international or online purchases
-
Insufficient funds or daily spending limits
-
3D Secure / verification not completed
-
Billing address mismatch
If you need help, email [email protected] with the product link and any error message shown at checkout (screenshots help).
5) Order Confirmation
Your order is submitted only after checkout is completed and payment is confirmed.
You will receive an order confirmation email after successful payment.
6) Refunds & Chargebacks
-
Refund eligibility is governed by our Refund & Returns Policy.
-
If a refund is approved, it will be issued back to the original credit card used at checkout whenever possible.

Please contact us first if there is any issue. Opening a chargeback without contacting us may delay resolution while the dispute is reviewed.
