#18 It's Easy To Check If The Outfit You Want Is Available In Your Size

Say you saw a friend wearing an AfroChic dress, and you want to know if we have it in your size. What do you do?

1. Just visit our website: www.afrochiconline.com
2. Determine your AfroChic size by comparing your body measurements against the bust, waist and hip measurements displayed on our website.
3. Shop by SIZE, and select your size. This shows you all the items in the store that are available in your size.

If you see the item you want in the displayed listings, you can go ahead to order it by following these steps

If you don't see the item you want in the displayed listings, it means we currently do not have that product in your size. You can check back in a few days to see if that item has been restocked in your size or if we might have something similar that you want.

#17 Canceling Your Order Is Super Easy

If you ever need to cancel your order, that's okay. You can actually do so yourself without ever needing to call or email us. All you have to do is follow these easy steps.

1. Visit our website: www.afrochiconline.com. Scroll all the way to the very bottom of the main page where you will see links for About Us, Returns & Refunds etc. Look out for the fourth link: Order History.

2. Click on this link. This leads you to our Account login page. Enter your email and password and click on the "login" button.

3. You should now be on the order history page where you can view your current as well as your past orders. Now here's the catch. You can only cancel your order if its status is set to processing.

4. Click the "view" button on the right to view the order you wish to cancel. At the bottom left of the order details you will find the "cancel order" button. Click this button.

5. You will now be redirected to your order history page where you'll now notice that the status of your order has now changed from processing to cancelled.

And you're done! Your order has been successfully cancelled.
See? That was easy. So easy in fact that you're probably thinking there's got to be a catch. And you're right.

Here's the catch. Your cancellation must be done at least 24 hours before the delivery date.

Why?

Well, as you know, AfroChic delivers your order in 2 days unless you changed the delivery date at the time of ordering. In order to meet this 2 day commitment, all orders enter our dispatch process 24 hours before the delivery date. Once an order has entered the dispatch process, you cannot cancel it. Which is why if you wish to cancel, you'll have to do it at least 24 hours before the delivery date.

Cool, eh?

#14 Four Fresh Collections Every Year!

I'm obsessed with AfroChic. Here's why.

Every 3 months, there is a whole new selection of compliment-getters to love and choose from!

See, AfroChic has 4 collections in a year.
The first is The Heritage Collection which comes out in March, and is inspired by Ghanaian culture, and heritage.

This is followed by the International Collection in June which is inspired by a different country. For example, the International 2011 Collection which just came out is inspired by New York City. Next year, we travel somewhere else.

Then in August, we have the Harmattan Collection. Which takes inspiration from the colors of harmattan and the Harmattan season.

Finally in December, we end the year with a banging Festive Collection, which features colorful party outfits appropriate for festivities, parties, and weddings.

All these collections are designed to get compliments. Cool eh?

We usually launch them with a special shop and mingle event. Click here to read Obii's account of our last shop and mingle event here.

I loooooove AfroChic!
