Thread: Placing a custom order. What to expect?

I'm not sure if I've posted in the correct forum. I am getting ready to place my first custom order and I've decided to try Mohamed Gomaa. What should I expect when dealing with an international vendor? Is it customary to pay in full? Deposit? Is Western Union reliable and do they have a dispute policy? Anything to look out for or questions I need to ask?

Thanks for the input ladies!! ,r:;

he let me pay on my own time, but obviously didn't ship out the costume until i paid him. i paid through moneygram which was easier for me (online). When you pay with credit card I assume you could open up a dispute but if its a direct bank transfer then you're out of luck.

Gomaa is really nice, I recommend him

thanks Zana!

the Gomaa brothers are great and wonderful to deal with :)

I'll prolly buy a couple of things from them the next time I'm in Egypt. I like their training sets and their baladi dress w/bra sets. Their costumes are getting better each year, so I expect that I'll be bringing back one or two of those, too :)

ooh what you getting? i couldnt do the costume i wanted because they couldnt find the fabric with red and being i have two blue with flowers i couldnt justify getting another flower costume.

What is his website?
