We recommend that payment is sent using PayPal or Escrow.  PayPal in particular has the PayPal Buyer Protection Program.  With this program, you buy with confidence knowing that PayPal will assist you if there are any issues with the dress you purchased. 

There is a simple checklist--here are a few things you need to do to be eligible for Buyer Protection:

• Pay for your item with PayPal.
• Pay in a single payment.
• Keep your account in good standing.
• Lodge a dispute within 180 days of payment.

  In addition to PayPal's Buyer Protection, consider paying for insurance.  Insurance will ensure that any damage caused during shipment is covered.
