Wedding Forum - Suit hire question......

Hi,

Is anyone hiring their suits from the bros of moss? Just got a brochure today and looking at the prices it's £96 say for a package including 2 piece suit, waistcoat, shirt and cravat or tie, but if you were to hire the 2 piece suit separately at £60 and get 'accessory packs' inc. waistcoat, shirt and cravat or tie at £15, it's obviously only £75 in total, and just wondering if anyone else noticed and why are they charging people more for hiring it all in one? Also, it says that there is a security deposit of £200 per suit, is that true? It's more than the suit costs to hire and obviously can't afford to pay all that!! Just thinking of giving up on suits at the moment, having no luck at all with them!

So if you pay the waiver of £8, you wouldn't have to pay the £200 deposit, or you'd still have to pay it? Just we wouldn't be able to afford that, even if we were to get it back. Can't afford to pay £200 per suit making it £1600 for a security deposit, that's a ridiculous amount xxx

Ooh really? thanks hun!! I looked on m&s but the ones I saw were all like £110, must have been looking in the wrong place xxxx

thanks hun :-) xxxx

Hiya, not sure how good they are but they are in the running for my wedding suits but have you tried formally yours? includes everything apart from shoes i think for £57 :D Xx

Ahh right know what you mean, i'm after 1 child suit but requested samples so at least i could try and match their colours up, sorry i couldn't be of much help hun Xx

Aww no thanks for the suggestion hun, it's really appreciated! :-D xxx there is a suit hire place in town, it's a tiny bit more than wanted to pay, but it's a full package, can do the measurements, people can try them on and get one free too, so may try there :-D thanks all for your suggestions, you're all very helpful!! xxx

We hired from greenwoods and they have a security deposit of £200 per suit, however they don't actually take the money, they just take your bank card details and if the suit doesn't arrive back or is damaged, they'll remove it then...it's a similar system to hotel minibars, I think xx

i just ordered with them, it was really good! it's a £200 security cost for your full order to each suit and they dont take it out your bank they just take your card details incase you don't return the suits... They did a deal where if you order 5 suits the groom goes free so came to £408 in all for hire of everything.

A security deposit of £200 (£400 for Highland wear) is always required for each set of Goods ordered on or before the Collection Date. The security deposit is payable in Store by credit card, debit card (not Electron or Solo cards). No Goods will be released until the security deposit has been received.
The security deposit is held against the Goods hired and will be processed in the event that the Goods are not returned (which will be assumed if the Goods have not been returned within 5 days of the Return Date) or in the event that damage occurs to Goods which is not covered by accidental damage waiver.

Copied from moss bros ts&cs on there website...reads to me as though it's per group of suits hired.
