We will ship to some foreign locations. Such locations generally include Canada, Europe, South America, Asia and a few other locations. You can check if your country is available by simulating placing an order on our website. We can also place the order over the phone if you do not find your country. However because such shipments often involve the peculiarities of the various tariffs trade and import/export laws around the globe we may not be able to ship some orders overseas due to the cost of researching the laws for that location. Also if possible it is always easier for us to ship to a US-based shipping address and you will always save on shipping costs if you can arrange for a US-based address to receive the shipment. At this time due to advice from our bank concerning trends in fraud we reserve all rights to deny or proceed with orders shipping internationally. 

* Clerkmans IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DUTY VAT TAX OR ANY OTHER FEES ASSOCIATED WITH IMPORTING OUR PRODUCTS. We cannot look up the final cost to you as your home country may (and often does) charge a fee at the destination. We cannot look up this information (and it often varies based on international law and code changes). We also cannot accept a rejection of that fee after the shipment leaves our factory and we cannot offer a return for a refund. Your home country will demand that gradshop.com pay the fee before receiving the returned item and graduationcapandgown.com cannot pay that fee. If you order from overseas you must either pay any import fees and duties your home country charges or else abandon the item or receive no refund.

Please email us with your order number within 14 days of delivery, we will send you our return form. We advise customers to place a new order online and the items returned will be refunded for a quicker process.

Please contact your educational institution, as we currently do not have access to school colors.

We recommend checking with your school which color and size to get or you can measure your diploma as well.

We welcome orders through both online and offline channels (you can give us a call to place an order as well). For online orders, you can add directly your items into your shopping cart. If you prefer to place an offline order, kindly download our order forms and email us back at hello@clerkmans.com

The discount is automatically applied to eligible orders. For the quantity discount to be applied, it must be the same product in the same color. 

Please note coupon codes cannot be combined with quantity discount.

There is no standardized and unified published listing available of all current school colors.

While Clerkmans does maintain a color chart for degree velvet colors there is no true substitute for contacting your school directly and asking them what colors they are currently using for your graduation apparel. Schools can and sometimes do change their colors on a yearly basis (and even the color of the gown itself).

The lining and chevron (satin fabric) represent your school colors. The shell is the material of hood which is always black (polyester fabric, matte finish). The velvet color represents your specific degree or field of study.

Please note for Associate Degree, you only need to select the lining and chevron colors (no velvet color required). 

You always need to choose the colors based on your highest level of education or current school you are attending.

Please visit our Refunds and Returns page, you can provide us your order number and email address and we will process your request.

Place it over your head draping off your shoulders and across the back of your gown. The velvet edge should be on the outside visible from the back. Make sure the lining (field and chevron school colors) are turned out so that people can see from the back your university colors. Usually this is done by turning the velvet trim to the outside at the back just below your shoulders. If you ordered a professional / faculty hood there will be a cord in the back (with two buttons one on each side of the hood) to keep your hood in place and a cord in the front to keep the hood away from your neck. Fasten the front cord to a shirt or dress button. Finally make sure the fabric shell of the hood is smoothed down and lays flat against the back of your robe.

This is an important question and it comes up often. There are two times you need to be aware of and you need to add them together to get an estimate of how long it will take to get your order.

First there is a processing time. All orders with in-stock stoles take 2-4 business days to process your order and ship out. Second there is the shipping time (which is not the same as the processing time). It takes about a week for standard shipping (5-8 business days). You can reduce this time by paying for faster shipping such as 3-4 business days. Just remember the shipping time is in addition to the processing time.  You need to add together both the production time and the shipping time to get a time estimate for your order.

* All custom stoles/hoods take 2-3 weeks to process and produce plus the shipping time.

All of our tassels are sold in either 1, 2 or 3 color combinations.

Shipping costs vary depending on your selection of shipping method and order amount. You can check the shipping cost by simulating placing an order on our website and then canceling out of the order and empty your cart before filling in the payment information. We ship all graduation stoles by Fedex or USPS. And of course faster shipping methods cost more.

All orders for “In-Stock Products” will ship out within 1-4 Business Days. We offer Quick Processing (options which expedite your order handling and overall delivery time); however, you must submit your request on our contact us page or email us. Additional fees may apply.

If your Order contains a “Custom Product”, the entirety of your order processing time will be approximately 2 – 3 weeks. Expedited processing options are available for “Custom Products”. Please email us prior to process your order so we can confirm that we can deliver your order on time. Prior to checking out, please review your order and be aware that by placing this order you understand and accept the extended 2 – 3 weeks processing time.

Shipping time is not the same as the processing time and takes about a week for standard shipping (5-8 business days). You can reduce this time by paying for faster shipping such as 3-4 business days. We do offer overnight shipping as well, please email us if you would like to have your order shipped with this shipping method.

 Please remember the shipping time is in addition to the processing time. You need to add together both the production time and the shipping time to get a time estimate for your order. 

The shipping time and processing time are estimated and does not guarantee the delivery by a specific date or time. 

Let us know what you are looking to order and the needed by date and we can give you an estimated delivery date. We can also offer different options to deliver your order on time. 

You need to provide us with each customer's height with shoes on for the gown and weight. You do not need to provide cap size as our standard caps are one size fits all with elastic. Please see the our size chart. 

Please email us at hello@clerkmans.com.

Please note until we confirm by email/call that we can deliver your order by the requested date, the order will be shipped based on the processing/shipping method selected.

You can email us the color that you need, we will get back to you with a closed match. 

We can color match some products if a bulk order is placed.

Please contact your school directly for a copy of your diploma.

We do not 100% guarantee any specific date. You can give us a call or send over an email before purchasing to see if we can try to meet the date. 

Please contact us within 14 days of the delivery date, as indicated by the provided tracking information. If we are not notified within this timeframe, we will be unable to take any action regarding the order.

If your product is damaged or incorrect, please email clear photos along with your order number to hello@clerkmans.com so we can assist you as quickly as possible.

Once we receive your claim, it will be reviewed and either approved or denied. Upon confirmation, we will gladly proceed with a replacement of the specific item or order. Please note that all replacement items will be shipped via Standard Shipping at no additional cost. If you require expedited shipping, an additional fee will apply.

Actually your credit card security department is seeing the inquiries to your account not actual charges. Sometimes the inquiries appear as charges at first (ghost charges). Don't worry we didn't charge you for all those transactions. In a day or two the bank will remove all those charges on your account after they see no actual money was transferred. If we ever do make a mistake in overcharging you rest assured we will refund your money.

Product requests for returns/exchanges must be made within 14 days from the date the product was shipped.

For more detailed information about our policy, please visit our Refunds and Returns page.

It depends on your college. Some colleges require mortarboards for Masters candidates and others tams. If tams are acceptable it is usually the 4-sided version for Masters degrees.

There is a minimum quantity for our custom stoles and our custom diploma covers. For the custom stoles, we require at least 6 to be ordered. The design must be exactly the same on all 6. If there is any variation on the design, 6 of each design must be ordered. 

For our custom diploma covers, we require at least 8 to be ordered. Again, the design of the 8 must be exactly the same and cannot have any variation. 

There is not a minimum for the in-stock products.

Most credit card rejections are because your address does not match the address on record with your credit card company. Sometimes it's just a matter of a single digit off a mis-capitalization a dash or something very minor like that. Please try to re-enter your address to match what your credit card company has on file.

You can also give us a call to place the order over the phone.

Due to the high demand for our products, especially during graduation season, certain items may be temporarily unavailable or on backorder. As our inventory is constantly evolving, the "In Stock" status displayed may not always reflect real-time availability. We strongly recommend placing your order as early as possible to ensure timely fulfillment. In the event that the item(s) you ordered will not be in stock by your required date, our customer care team will collaborate with you. Whether it involves substituting a color, size, or item, or providing a credit/reimbursement, we are committed to assisting you. While we aim to dispatch all stock orders within 72 hours, backordered items may occasionally cause unforeseen delays. If you experience a shipping delay, feel free to reach out to our customer care team for updates on your order.

Coupon Codes cannot be applied to sale items or combined with any other offers or promotions. 

Many discounts/promotions hold a minimum purchase requirement amount for eligibility.  This amount is the subtotal of the order, calculated before any taxes/shipping fees. This is a fixed dollar amount associated with the code and will not be accepted below the amount. 

Coupon codes are limited to one per customer per purchase and are good for a one time use only per customer and can only be used on full price merchandise. The coupon codes have no cash value and if a return is made, your account will be credited only in the amount that you paid – total amount at checkout less the value of the coupon code. Coupon codes cannot be combined with other promotions. 

Please note: Coupon codes are not retroactive and price adjustments will not be issued to orders placed prior to the start of any promotion.

We do not color match. We have a very specific set of fabrics. We cannot guarantee that our fabric colors will match with another supplier’s fabrics.

Yes. We offer bulk pricing rates for larger orders (such as 100+ quantities). Please email us as well and we will be able to provide you a quote.

There is no standardized and unified published listing available of all current school colors. While Clerkmans does maintain a color chart for degree velvet colors there is no true substitute for contacting your school directly and asking them what colors they are currently using for your graduation apparel. Schools can and sometimes do change their colors on a yearly basis (and even the color of the gown itself).

Contact the carrier first if the package is marked as delivered but you have not received it. They will open an investigation as to the whereabouts of the package.
