How to rent costumes?
Renting with miiostore is easy! Simply select your costume, provide your collection date (usually 1 day before your event), and your return date (usually 1 day after your event)! Upon checkout, you can select delivery* to your doorstep or self-collect (free). It’s that simple! 🙂
*Do note the delivery hours below.
Why is your minimum rental 3 days? I need the costume only for a 2-hour event!
Our shortest rental period is 3 days as we provision for collection and returns. For example, if your event is on 8 December, you should indicate collection date as 7 December and return date as 9 December. This will constitute the minimum 3-day rental.
Even if you can collect and return on the same day, the prices for 1-day rental would still be the 3-day rental price, as the bulk of your rental costs go into maintenance, preparation, laundering, pressing and dry cleaning of the costumes to ensure a clean and fresh costume, everytime 🙂 We also highly recommend collecting your costume 1-day before your actual event, to ensure sufficient time for you so that you can enjoy your event with peace of mind 🙂
Can I place a last minute order?
Likely not to be successful as we are usually very full 1-2 days in advance; popular costumes are usually fully booked 2 weeks in advance. To prevent disappointment, please book with us at least one week before your event. For enquiries on last minute orders, please email hello@miiostore.com to enquire.
Why can’t I book costumes for today evening?
By default, the system is set to accept bookings two days in advance to cater for processing time. If you urgently require costumes for the same day, please email hello@miiostore.com to enquire.
How can I be sure that my rental items are available on the dates?
After checkout, we will send you a confirmation email within 1 working day to confirm your booking.
If your selected costumes are not available, you will receive a notification to choose another costume or opt for a full refund. You can view this link here for fully booked costumes on peak dates. For early checks on availability, kindly email hello@miiostore.com.
Can I do an exchange?
Unfortunately, we do not allow exchanges for rental or purchase sets for hygiene reasons. We highly recommend you verify your own measurements for costume fit before renting, as we have a no-refund, no-exchange policy. If you are worried about fit, do drop us a mail at hello@miiostore.com before booking your costume.
Are my rental costumes clean?
Yes, the rental costumes are laundered + pressed + sterilized before and after every event. Saves you the hassle as you do not have to wash and iron the costume before your event! 🙂
Do I have to wash the costume before returning? Are there any fees for stained costumes?
You do not have to wash the costume as we have specialized wash+steam laundry treatment for the costume. 🙂 The rental costume is also washed and steamed before your collection. 🙂
While miiostore takes care of the pre and post-event laundry, dry cleaning and ironing for you, do note that permanent stains found on costumes will be charged at the costume replacement cost, and additional laundry fees for multiple laundry runs will be levied for tough stain removals (eg. excessive glitter, halloween paint etc.). Do remove such stains prior to returning to avoid additional processing or replacement costs.
Where is your shop? Can I try or view the costumes?
We are an online costumes wholesaler and pride ourselves on being able to pass down the lowest costs of costume rentals to you. As such, we do not operate any facilities for fittings and viewings given the high operating costs for manpower and rental shopfront. We are also unable to support viewing or putting on of costumes at the collection points as they are public locations.
In future, we will be looking into launching pop-up stores and open houses – do stay tuned!
Do you operate a hotline?
Sorry, we don’t operate a hotline to reduce costs so as to provide best value for your costumes, at the most affordable rates in Singapore. For enquiries, please email hello@miiostore.com in advance, we will get back to you within 1-3 working days.

Event-Related
I won the best dressed awards! Can I share the photos with you?
Sure! You can Facebook message us or email hello@miiostore.com and we will be happy to share them in our gallery and social media pages 🙂
I collected the costume but did not wear it because I couldn’t attend the event / I was on MC / the event was cancelled / other reasons. Can I get a refund?
Sorry, we are unable to provide any form of refunds, even for confirmed orders before your event date, as all confirmed orders will have gone through pre-processing (ironing, packaging, express retrieval from post-processing outlets) and post-processing (laundry, steam cleaning, ironing). Kindly note our store has a no-refund, no-exchange policy once orders are submitted.
I don’t know how to wear your costume / Your costume is faulty / broken / unable to be worn!
Please drop a message to Uncle Shane +65 92962246 to provide your details and queries at least 12 hours before your event. Before your collection, our costumes team conduct thorough inspections for every order to ensure all moveable parts are working and there are no faulty parts.
Most of the time, the costumes are not faulty or broken, but simply involves just untying a knot or for pilot zipper ties, re-attaching it by pressing down the zip / fastening it back, as items may have moved during transport.
Again, apologies that we are unable to provide refunds for confirmed orders, as they have to go through pre-processing and post-processing.
