Ask for a written quote with all costs

A serious maker puts the full price in writing before you pay anything. The quote should show the costume, options, delivery and any taxes or customs fees.

Check whether prices are given with or without VAT. At SPOTSOUND.FR, prices exclude VAT and taxes, so you can compare on the same basis.

The quote is free and without obligation. You can request one through the quote form, for a catalogue model to customise or for a fully custom project.

• Is the quote free and without obligation?
• Are options and delivery listed separately?
• Are taxes and customs fees stated?

Check how the design is validated

Before production starts, you should see and approve the design. Ask exactly when the design counts as validated, because the production time depends on it.

At SPOTSOUND.FR you can start from a logo, a sketch or an idea, or from a catalogue model to customise. Production time of about 10 working days is counted after the design is validated.

If a maker does not say when production starts, you cannot compare lead times.

Check what is included in the price

A complete mascot costume should include the head, body, gloves and shoes. Ask for this list in writing.

At SPOTSOUND.FR, a complete costume includes all four. An extra pair of shoes is an option. Other optional extras include a cooling vest, a balaclava, gloves and a bag.

Price range for a full costume: 649 € to 839 € excluding VAT, with most models at 669 €.

Compare production and delivery time

Ask for the production time and the delivery time separately, and ask whether delivery is tracked.

At SPOTSOUND.FR, production takes about 10 working days after the design is validated. A Fast Delivery option produces in 24 hours.

Tracked delivery is added to the order. The delivery time and cost are shown before payment, so you know them before you commit.

Ask about customs fees, warranty and contact

For orders outside the EU, customs fees can apply. Ask whether they are shown upfront, and check the warranty length and how fast the team answers.

At SPOTSOUND.FR, customs fees for orders outside the EU are shown at checkout and in the quote. The warranty is 2 years.

The team replies to quote requests within 24 hours, which lets you test responsiveness before ordering.

Think about performer comfort and ventilation

The person inside the costume needs to stay comfortable, especially during long events. Ask what the maker offers for ventilation and cooling.

At SPOTSOUND.FR, a cooling vest and a balaclava are available as optional extras. If you have specific comfort needs, mention them in your quote request so the team can answer for your project.

• Is a cooling accessory available?
• Can you describe the performer's use (duration, indoor or outdoor)?
• Are comfort questions answered in the quote reply?
