OUR PRODUCTS

5. What size should I order?

We recommend using our size chart to find your perfect fit. Our size chart is easy to use and accurate, ensuring that you get exactly the right size for your body type. To access our size chart, simply visit our Size Charts.

 

6. How do I measure myself for sizing?

Before you make your purchase, we want to ensure that you select the right size. To achieve this, we recommend taking your chest, waist, and hip measurements, then comparing them to the manufacturer's sizing chart. It's essential to double-check your measurements and ensure the measuring tape is held straight and snug (not too tight or loose).

To measure your chest size, measure around the fullest part of your chest. For women, kindly note that this measurement differs from your bra band size. The waist measurement requires you to hold the end of the tape at your belly button and wrap it around your waist. Lastly, measure around the widest part of your hips and buttocks to obtain your hip size.

For a more accurate measurement, you can also take your Body Loop/Torso measurement. To achieve this, start at the inner shoulder, come down the front of the torso, and go between the legs. Continue up the back to the start of the tape on the shoulder.

Once you complete your measurements, kindly refer to our manufacturer's sizing chart to purchase a suitable size. If you have any further inquiries, don't hesitate to contact us.

 

7. Why is the color/size I want not available?

We wanted to let you know that our availability is limited to stock on hand. However, we are happy to inform you that everything you see online should be currently in stock and ready to ship. We take pride in ensuring that our inventory is always up to date, so you can feel confident in your purchase.

 

8. What are your washing instructions?

You need to follow a few tips if you wish to keep your new swimwear in the best condition for many seasons to come. Most suits are chlorine-resistant, but they still require proper care to avoid the fabric breaking down and fading. Chlorine, whether wet or dry, can cause significant damage to your swimwear if not handled correctly.

Suntan lotions can also damage the fabric of your swimwear if they are absorbed and not washed out properly. You should always be careful to keep your swimwear free from any lotions. To remove chlorine, thoroughly rinse your swimwear in cold water after each use and allow it to air dry.

It is important to note that you should not wash your swimwear in a washing machine or use a dryer. Do not use detergents like Woolite, as they can cause the colors to fade. Whirlpools and spas have a high concentration of chemicals that can cause the fabric of your suit to break down quickly. Therefore, rinse your swimwear thoroughly with cold water immediately after use in such places.

It is essential to avoid sitting on the rough and abrasive edges of pools, as this can cause the suit to run and pick at the bottom or the front of it if you lean over the pool's edge. Instead, place a towel on the edges to avoid direct contact with the rough surface.

Importantly, never wrap your swimsuit in your towel. The towel may have soaked up all the chemicals and will continue exposing the swimsuit material to their harsh effects.

Hot tubs are also hard on your swimwear as the bromine and extreme temperatures can cause fading and stretching of your suit, quicker than anything else. If you know you will be using a hot tub, wear an old costume that you are tired of, or wash your regular costume as soon as possible after getting out of the hot tub to avoid extended exposure to harsh chemicals.

In summary, taking care of your swimwear will not only prolong its life but will also help maintain its look for many seasons to come. Following these tips will ensure that you get the most out of the purchase you've made.

 

9. Does my product have a warranty?

As a reseller company, we prioritize the satisfaction of our customers. However, it's important to note that we have certain policies in place when it comes to returns and warranties. We only accept returns of items that are in brand new condition, as they were shipped. This means that if you've used the product, we won't be able to process a return.

But what if you've purchased a product and need information about the manufacturer's warranty? In this case, it's best to contact the manufacturer/brand directly. The manufacturer/brand will have all the relevant information about the warranty, such as what it covers and for how long it lasts. They will also be able to answer any questions you may have about the warranty.

After completing your purchase, you will receive an email confirmation with all the details of your order. This will serve as confirmation that your payment has been successfully processed. In case you do not receive an email confirmation, please check your spam or junk folders.

Additionally, you can also review your order history under "My Account". From there, you can easily track your past purchases, view order details, and even request a return or exchange if needed.

 

14. Why was my credit card declined?

Declined transactions can be frustrating for both the customer and the merchant. Most of the time, declined transactions occur due to some information being entered incorrectly during checkout. This can include errors in the billing address, credit card number, expiration date, or CVV2 number.

To avoid having your transaction declined, it is essential to double-check all the information before you attempt to place the order again. Ensure that your billing address, credit card number, expiration date, and CVV2 number are entered accurately. If you have recently moved or changed addresses, it may be worth trying to use your previous address in the Billing Address field.

If you have confirmed that all information in the merchant's systems is correct and you are still experiencing difficulty placing an order, it is recommended that you contact your credit card company. Sometimes, credit card companies may flag transactions that appear to be unusual or fraudulent. Therefore, confirming the address listed as the primary account holder with your credit card company is crucial.

15. What fees and charges will be applied to my order?

sisterchicksforchrist.com does not charge international sales tax, shipping duties, or brokerage fees. However, it is important to note that customers are solely responsible for paying any applicable sales tax and duties to customs upon delivery of their orders. This means that if you are ordering from outside of the United States, you will need to be prepared to pay any customs fees and taxes that may be applied when your order arrives. This includes goods and services tax (GST) and provincial sales tax (PST), if applicable. sisterchicksforchrist recommends that you contact your customs office for more information on how to calculate and pay these fees, or if you require further assistance with your order.
