PRE-ORDER POLICY
Thank you for shopping with Klarkes Kouture. To ensure quality, exclusivity, and attention to detail, select items are offered on a pre-order basis.
What Is a Pre-Order?
A pre-order allows you to reserve and purchase an item before it is produced or stocked. This process helps us provide limited-edition and custom apparel while maintaining the highest quality standards.
Payment Policy
- Full payment is required at checkout to secure your pre-order.
- Orders will not be processed or added to production until payment has been received in full.
- All prices are listed in USD and are subject to applicable taxes and shipping fees.
- Failure to complete payment may result in your order being canceled.
Production & Shipping Timeline
- Pre-order items require approximately 3–4 weeks for production and fulfillment.
- Production time begins after payment has been successfully received.
- Once your order ships, you will receive a tracking number via email or the contact information provided at checkout.
- Shipping transit times are separate from production times and may vary by carrier.
Order Updates
- We understand you're excited to receive your order! To ensure we can focus on production, we kindly ask that customers allow the full 3–4 week turnaround time before requesting a status update.

- Customers are welcome to contact us regarding their order after the estimated turnaround window has passed.
Ordering Multiple Items
If your order includes both pre-order and ready-to-ship items, all items may be shipped together once the pre-order item is complete. To receive in-stock items sooner, please place separate orders.
Cancellations, Refunds & Exchanges
- All pre-order sales are final.
- Due to the made-to-order nature of our products, cancellations, refunds, chargebacks, or exchanges will not be accepted once an order has been placed.
- Please review all sizing, colors, shipping information, and order details carefully before completing your purchase.
Delays
While we strive to meet all estimated timelines, delays may occur due to material shortages, production volume, shipping carrier delays, weather conditions, or other unforeseen circumstances. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
