Q. What does Extra Time mean?
A. The normal hire fee is usually for the ceremony day (or evening if it is just an evening ceremony). This enables you to wear the outfit for your graduation ceremony and have private and official photos taken if you want. If you opt for Extra 7 days hire you can take the robes away from where you had your graduation ceremony and keep them for one week, returning them to us in the bag provided. You will need to pay the postage on the parcel; ordinary parcel post is fine, but you must obtain proof of posting. You are not allowed to take your outfit out of the United Kingdom.
