Frequently asked questions
Answers about ordering, sizes, payment, collection and refunds. Can't find yours? Our customer service team is happy to help.
Ordering
Where do I order?
Go to caps-gowns.com/shop and find your institution. Your institution's webshop shows the gown, cap, hood and sash your institution has chosen, at your institution's prices.
I cannot sign in with my student ID.
Enter your student ID or your institutional email, exactly as your institution gave it to you. If it still does not work, email us at customerservice@caps-gowns.com with your name and institution.
Do I have to upgrade my cap or gown?
No. Everything your institution requires is included in your order. Upgrades are optional, and you only pay the difference in price.
Is there an order deadline?
Your institution may set one, and your webshop shows it. Orders placed after the deadline may not be ready for the ceremony.
I have not received my order confirmation.
Check the email address you signed in with, including the spam folder. You can also see your order on your order page. If you still cannot find it, email customerservice@caps-gowns.com.
Sizes and personalization
How do I choose the right size?
For the gown, enter your height. For the cap, measure around your head, just above the ears and eyebrows. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one.
I ordered the wrong size. Can I change it?
Email customerservice@caps-gowns.com with your order number as soon as possible. We can change it until production starts.
Can I have my name embroidered?
Yes, where your institution allows it. Check the spelling carefully, because we embroider your name exactly as you enter it.
Payment
Which cards can I use?
Any valid credit or debit card. Card payments are handled by Amazon Payment Services (PayFort). You enter your card details only on their secure payment page, never on our site.
My payment is not accepted.
Check that all card details are correct and that your card allows online payments. If it still fails, try another card or contact your bank.
Do prices include VAT?
Yes. All prices are in UAE dirhams (AED) and include VAT at 5%.
Delivery and collection
How do I receive my order?
You choose one of three ways, in the shop, in the cart or at checkout: collect at your institution (free), collect from our production facility (free), or home delivery anywhere in the UAE (49 AED per order).
When will my order be ready?
Your order page shows each step: order confirmed, in production, quality check, and ready or dispatched. We also email you when it is ready or on its way.
Where do I collect my order?
At your institution on the collection days it announces, or at our production facility, Warehouse S.14, 18th Street, Al Quoz Industrial First, Dubai, Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 18:00 (closed 12:00 to 14:00). Bring your order number or the QR code from your order page.
How long does home delivery take?
2 to 3 working days after your order is ready.
Are accessories delivered with my gown?
Accessories are made and delivered separately, in the time shown on each product.
Changes, cancellations and refunds
Can I cancel my order?
Yes, within 24 hours of placing it, for a full refund. After that we can refund only if production has not started. See our refund and returns policy.
Something is wrong with my order.
Tell us within 7 days of receiving it, with a photo, at customerservice@caps-gowns.com. We will repair it, remake it or refund it.
How long does a refund take?
Approved refunds are paid within 14 working days, to the card you paid with or by bank transfer to a UAE account.
