Why No House Patch on the Team Sweater?House patches are readily available on the Internet - some more accurate looking than others. Hobbie's thought it best to let the customer select the patch of their choice. We do recommend you check out the beautiful, reasonably priced House patches found on eBay.Why the difference in price...between the Team Sweater and the School Sweater?. There are several reasons - the added time required to both knit the Team Sweater and the additional steps required to assemble it but above all, it's the quantity of yarn. It requires at least 50% more yarn to knit the Team Sweater than is needed to knit the School Sweater in the same size.
Can I return my sweater?Each sweater is custom knit just for YOU. When you decide to place an order, it is important that you verify the following:
We urge you to take advantage of this free service to communicate with us, verify measurements and sizing and get answers to any frequently asked questions you need. This is especially important when ordering a customized sweater but it is also important when ordering a standard size. Many customers "assume" that the sweater will fit without thinking of the particular style and fit. Please note that there is a difference in sizing/fit between Misses and Men's sweaters, especially across the shoulder width. Click HERE to review our Return Policy. What are your payment options?PayPal is an easy payment option. Perhaps too easy...You do not even have to be a registered PayPal member in order to use their services, however... you will have to open an account with PayPal should you ask for a refund.
During 2005, many refunds went unclaimed because many customers [who changed their minds about ordering] were not registered PayPal members. To remedy this situation, we now require that you be a registered PayPal member. We also accept PayPal E-Checks. If you prefer not to use PayPal at all, you can pay by money order. Please use the form provided at the bottom of the Money Order Purchases page to place your order. Please note that your order is placed in the production queue according to the date your money order is received. So what is our most frequently asked question? Irrate customers write to us with the following comment..."I have not received my packagae and you've already charged my credit card!". Onviously, they completely overlook the notation included in every product description which states [in red letters] that our products are custom made and, more importantly, not available for immediate shipment. As with any other credit card purchase, in any local or online retail store, Paypal will charge your credit card when you place an order. Our products are custom-made to order after purchase. We ask that you please do not initiate chargebacks through PayPal. Chargebacks involve a month long process and you will not get your money back until the end of the process. If you want a refund before we knit your sweater or scarf, just write and ask for one. It will be issued immediately and your order will automatically be cancelled. By the way, if you ask us for the refund, the money can be back in your account within minutes after receipt of the email! Please note that we do not carry any inventory and that any item you purchase is not available for immediate shipment. This fact is posted in red within the product description box of each and every product. Here are detailed ordering instructions. Unless you are ordering an item from the Treasure Chest, it is not possible for even a scarf to be ordered, shipped and received within the 7 days required by Paypal... especially not with our current volume of orders. Our typical turn around time is a minimum of 6-8 weeks. Should chargebacks continue, our only option will be to totally eliminate Paypal as a payment option and only accept checks or money orders.
What are my shipping options?Domestic shipping is handled by the U.S. Postal Service via their Priority Mail service. We add Delivery Confirmation which allows us Hobbie's House and you to track the package. Insurance is optional.Under certain circumstances, we will ship using Express Mail. However, our standard turn around time includes transit time using regular Priority Mail. International shipping is also handled by the U.S. Postal Service via their International First Class Mail [Airmail] or Global Priority services. The package can be "registered" for an additional fee. Shipping time for "registered" packages is slightly longer however this service allows for tracking of your package. Hobbie's House of Wizard Wear is not responsible for any Customs Declaration fees. These fees do vary from country to country.
