Frequently Asked Questions
| |
| I live in the Kansas City area. Can I come pick up my tights and save on shipping? |
Short answer: no.
Long answer: we're closing, my son's health isn't very good, the house is torn apart by remodeling and repairs...it's just not a good time right now. We are conducting all remaining business via email and this website. Period.
Besides, with gasoline topping $ 2.50 a gallon, shipping on a single pair of tights will cost you less than the cost of the gasoline it would take you to get here.

| I see the phrase "sumptuary laws" in your catalog from time to time.
What does that mean? |
| Sumptuary laws are rules governing what you can and cannot wear at period events
(though different events may have another name for them), and are based on practices
dating as far back as the 12th century. For more information,

| How long does it take to get my order? |
With the shop closing, we are completely swamped, so look for not less than four weeks, possibly a little more. If you have a deadline, please let us know and if it's no closer than two weeks out, we'll meet it.
On the other hand, if you have a deadline and don't tell us, don't get pissed off if we miss it, 'k?

|
| Can I return my order if something isn't quite right? |
With the shop closing and most prices discounted, all sales are final.

|
| How can I pay for my order? |
| Simple. Cash, check, money order, Mastercard, or Visa. Cash, check, and money orders can be sent directly to SeamLyne after you place and confirm your order.

|
| Color swatches? |
Sure. Send a S.A.S.E. ($.75 postage) and we'll send you what we've got left.

|
| Where can we see your stuff? Or Will you be at the [insert city name] Renaissance Festival? |
The short answer: no, we won't be at the renaissance festival.
The long answer: most faires are overpopulated with clothing merchants, with levels of quality and price all over the scale. Competition is a good thing, but not when there is too much of it.
However, if you see someone at a midwest faire wearing a T-shirt with our logo on it, and the phrase "The most comfortable tights you'll ever wear, period" on the back, odds are that person would be more than happy to talk to you. It might even be me (Willam Morris)!

|
| How do I get to your store? |
| You're already here. This is it. Right here. End of answer. Next?
[13] |
|
| Can I add a link to your site to my webpage? (Or, conversely, "Would Seamlyne add a link to my site?") |
Anyone who wishes to may place a link to the Seamlyne website on their page. However, because linking implicitly endorses a site and we cannot control the content of other sites, Seamlyne does not link to the webpages of organizations or individuals with whom we do not have a Partnership Agreement. If you are a customer with an order or two in our system, and you need to find a product we don't carry, we'll be happy to point you in the right direction.
Think about it: would Target place a link to Wal*Mart on their pages? Ah, well, there you go.

|
| I don't see any negative reviews. Afraid to publish them? |
| Well, you don't have to believe this, but we haven't actually gotten any negative reviews. If one should happen to come in, as long as it's fair and polite, we'll publish.

|
| In your emails, you sign them "William Morris, Semster". You mean seamster, right? |
| Nope. The word is "semster", and comes from a real book, The Treatise For The Manufacture of Clothing: A Guide For The Semster, published in London in 1604.

|
| Could you make me a dress just like the one Drew Barrymore wore in Ever After? |
| Yes, but we won't. Thanks for thinking of us, though.
[18] |
|
| Ok, I'm not Drew Barrymore. But I really like that dress --- |
| No.
[19] |
|
| But I'll just die if I can't get that dress --- |
| If you'll provide us the address of the funeral home, we'll send flowers.
