Thank you for the great review. As a longstanding customer of ours it is appreciated that you have taken the time to review our service. We feel it is as important to deal efficiently with returns as it is to get the order to you in the first place. It is good to know we are succeeding in this.

Great costume, great quality, fast delivery

A good range of options in the products and costume styles available. Easy selection and ordering process. Fantastically fast delivery option. Well packaged and absolutely love that the costumes we ordered came in 'fancy' dress bags, very professional.
Thank you.

Friendly, efficient service you can count on

I have been a customer for nearly 15 years now, never was let down by IDS. It simply is a company you really can rely on. Orders arrive quickly, communication is impeccable, items of a consistent quality. In the rarest occasions something may be not so perfect, their customer service will go the extra mile to amend any errors and surpass expectations.

I am sorry there were items shown that there was no stock of. The costume sale has been so popular we have had trouble keeping up with the record sales and some items were not removed as quickly as they should have been. If you would like to contact us we can let you know if a particular item will be restocked.

Would not recommend

2 items out of 5 not available. No response to 3 emails across a 4 day period. Still awaiting any confirmation of requested refund. Of the 3 items that did arrive - over 6 inches disparity between the same size garments in same fabric. Anyone would think we're aiming to fit elephant feet into one costume not a size 10-12 human lady.

Good place where to work

I worked as Spanish customer service advisor for this company a few years ago. Although it was a short experience, it was excellent. It is one of the best experiences in my life.

The atmosphere inside the office is positive. As a result; it made me feel relaxed, comfortable and happy. My former supervisor and colleagues are hard-working, kind, humble and friendly. It was a pleasure to work with them. The thing I like the most about the office is the fact that it is a multilingual place since customer service advisors come from different nations. Although I am fluent in foreign languages, I was not able to do this job as I am not capable of selling products. A former colleague of mine told me that a person must have talent for selling in order to work as customer service advisor. I had applied for this role in order to put my knowledge of foreign languages into practice. If it had been a translation job, I would have succeeded.

Since I was not capable of selling, I was transferred to warehouse. The warehouse employees are also as hard-working, kind, humble and friendly as the ones of sales department. They also made me feel relaxed, comfortable and happy. The location is excellent as it is opposite the train station and near the city center. The town is nice and pleasant. It motivated me to apply for the position of Spanish customer service advisor in the first place. Although I was unsuccessful, I do not regret applying for a job in this company.

Customer service is great. The order process simple. I just find your lack of range and often sizes pretty exasperating and wonder why you have such a restricted choice since you took over the company? I’d be interested to know as have used IDS for years but it’s much harder to costume a show with you now.

Thank you for your review and your custom over the years. I am sorry you have not been able to find what you are looking for. We are working with our suppliers and are committed to partnering with them to help fully reopen the dance industry as quickly as possible. Planning and forecasting continues to be difficult due to the different levels of restrictions still in place around the globe. Our shelves are filling up as quickly as our suppliers can deliver into us and with the launch of our new costume collection which is due in very shortly, we hope you will be able to costume your show with us again.
