1. What's the difference between Shaper Hangers and Wood Hangers?
Both styles are safe for long-term preservation but there are a few differences:
Shaper hangers have a longer neck - perfect for collars and high necklines.
Shaper hangers have a contoured silhouette and are great for displays
Wood hangers are best for wide necklines. * Due to cost considerations, our hanger kits are only available with wood hangers. *
2. What size hanger do I need?
Lie the garment flat, then measure from one shoulder seam to the other. Then select the hanger that is slightly smaller than the measurement. For example, if the distance between seams is 16", select a 15" hanger.
3. My garment is heavy. Are Hangerbee hangers strong enough?
Yes! We have sold thousands of hangers for more than a decade and we have yet to hear about a hanger breaking. We source our supplies with this in mind.
4. How are they made?
If you are curious about the hanger making process and want to know what you're getting yourself into before purchasing a kit, please email shop@hangerbee.com and we will send you a link to a video that walks you through the assembly process. Each Hangerbee hanger is padded by hand. Therefore, no hanger will be exactly alike and there may be small imperfections. Hangerbee strives to create a stable, affordable and streamlined product that you can trust.
5. Why are shipping costs so high?!
Hangers are bulky, so shipping costs tend to be higher than expected. We understand that shipping costs can be prohibitive and we want to make sure you get the best rate possible. Due to the nature of our products, it can be difficult for the website to accurately estimate shipping costs, especially when ordering multiple hanger kits. Please contact us at shop@hangerbee.com to request a custom shipping estimate. Also, if you place an order and shipping costs turn out to be considerably lower than the amount paid, we will provide you with a refund. Thanks.
