Do you live outside the metro Phoenix area?

Can’t find a true quality dry cleaner specialist in your local area to whom you can entrust your bespoke, made-to-measure, designer, high fashion, specialty or couture garments, household textiles and accessories (handbags, purses, wallets, backpacks, shoes and boots) with complete confidence?

We can help.

Even if you’re beyond the reach of our local in-store service or local pickup and delivery service, we’re still within your reach.

Fact is, we’re as close as your front door.

That’s because our Nationwide Clean By Mail and Worldwide Clean By Mail service ships throughout

North America (United States and Canada),
Western Europe (countries from Andorra to United Kingdom),
Gulf States (countries from Bahrain to United Arab Emirates),
Far East (countries from Hong Kong to Taiwan), and
Australasia (Australia and New Zealand).

Pricing

Our Nationwide Clean By Mail and Worldwide Clean By Mail service prices are identical to the prices you would pay if you were a local in-store client or a local pickup and delivery client.

Unlike ordinary cleaners, we don’t add a 3% to 6% “environmental tax, surcharge or charge” to any service order. This is nothing more than a scam designed to generate additional revenues as there is no state-mandated “environmental tax, surcharge or charge” in Arizona.

There is no sales tax on dry cleaning and related services in Arizona.

In this case, please highlight any changes with a highlighter pen..

Pack your items in an appropriately-sized box

Before you pack your garments, household textiles and/or accessories, please make sure that they are completely dry. Items that are damp or wet could develop mold or mildew during transit.

If you’re shipping only one or two items, you might be able to use the boxes provided by various carrier services for air service.

Suggestion: Post Offices and courier companies such as Federal Express (FedEx), United Parcel Service (UPS) and DHL will, generally, not allow you to ship ground using their own air boxes.

So…

If you’re shipping ground via a Postal Service, use a FedEx, UPS or DHL air box.
If you’re shipping ground via UPS, use a Post Office, FedEx or DHL air box.
If you’re shipping ground via FedEx, use a Post Office, UPS or DHL air box.

Please do not use plastic shipping pouches to ship your garments, household textiles and/or accessories. Typically, the contents arrive in a relatively humid and hot condition.

There’s no need to pack your garments, household textiles and/or accessories very carefully. It’s ok to gently roll or fold your items and insert them into your shipping box — unless there is valid reason not to do so (for example, if your’e shipping a couture dress with boning in the corset area, we would advise you to use a larger box so as not the crush the construction of the corset.

Await confirmation of the receipt of your box

We’ll confirm the receipt of your items by email or phone within 48 hour of receipt.

Packaging the items returned to you

In order to ensure that your garments, household textiles and/or accessories arrive at their destination in optimum condition, we pay particular attention to the manner in which we package your garments, household textiles and/or accessories for shipping.

For example:

All garments (other than men’s laundered and dry cleaned shirts) are double bagged (two, extra wide poly bags per garment) and stuffed with acid-free tissue.
All men’s laundered and dry cleaned shirts (dress, casual, polo, crew neck, etc.) are hand folded, cushioned with acid free tissue and inserted into a heavy gauge poly bag with a built in “cushion of air” to ensure that there is no or negligible “pressure” on the shirt. The idea is that you should be able to remove the shirt from the bag with practically no creases in the body of the shirt and wear it without any further hand ironing.
All sweaters are hand folded, cushioned with acid free tissue and inserted into breathable sweater bags.
All garments are carefully packed in one of our flat or upright shipping boxes in such a way as to minimize movement during travel. As we use 15 different sizes of flat and upright shipping boxes, we always seek to match the size of the garments being shipped to the size of shipping box being used.

Pay for the services rendered

Your total service charge will comprise the following:

Service charges
Carrier shipping charges
Carrier insurance charges (if any)
Shipping box charges

Service charges

Our Nationwide Clean By Mail/Worldwide Clean By Mail service prices are identical to the prices you would pay if you were a local in-store client or a local pickup and delivery client.

Unlike ordinary cleaners, we do not add a 3% to 6% “environmental tax, surcharge or charge” to any service order. This is nothing more than a scam designed to generate additional revenues as there is no state-mandated “environmental tax, surcharge or charge” in Arizona.

There is no sales tax on dry cleaning and related services in Arizona.

Carrier shipping charges

We only ship via United States Postal Service (USPS) or United Postal Service (UPS).

We can ship Federal Express (FedEx), but only if you have your own personal or corporate FedEx shipping account.

USPS or UPS carrier charges for return shipping are charged to you at the exact price charged to us by the carrier.

Unlike other dry cleaners, we make no profit on any carrier charges. We’re merely trying to recover our out-of-pocket expenses.

Carrier insurance charges (if any)

USPS or UPS carrier insurance charges (if any) are charged to you at the exact price charged to us by the carrier.

Unlike other dry cleaners, we make no profit on any carrier insurance charges. We’re merely trying to recover our out-of-pocket expenses.

Shipping box charges

We do charge for our shipping boxes.

We use 15 different sizes of shipping boxes. Our flat shipping boxes range in size from 17 x 6 x 6 to 48 x 24 x 8. Our upright/wardrobe shipping boxes range in size from ______________________.

The prices for these shipping boxes range from $3.75 to $35.00.

Our most popular shipping boxes are

20 x 12 x 16 (suitable for 5 hand folded, air-bagged shirts) — cost per box is $6.00
40 x 24 x 4 (suitable for a 2 piece suit) — cost per box is $12.00.

Please not: Some orders may require more than one shipping container. We’ll always endeavor to pack your items in the most cost efficient way consistent with maintaining the integrity of the hand ironing.

Invoices

The service charge for each item will be detailed on a separate invoice attached to each item.

The total charge for all your items will be charged to your credit card as a single transaction on the day your items are shipped. A credit card receipt for the service charges will be attached to the outside of your shipping box (in a plastic pouch).

The total of the carrier cost, carrier insurance charges (if any) and shipping box charges for all boxes shipped (there could be more than one box shipped) will be charged to your credit card as a single transaction either on the day your items are shipped or on the day after your items are shipped.

RAVE FabriCARE accepts American Express, Discover, Mastercard and Visa.

We do not accept personal checks, cashiers checks, travelers checks, money orders or COD orders.

Please understand that we will not pack any completed work, email or call you with a total service and shipping cost and then wait –possibly for days or weeks — for authorization to charge your card and ship.

Shipping the items back to you

If you live in the USA: 48 contiguous states or Washington DC

We will return your order via United States Postal Service (USPS) or United Parcel Service (UPS), whichever service is more economical.

As a general rule, it’s more economical to ship USPS to the western USA and UPS to the eastern USA.

Furthermore, when shipping to the western USA, it’s often, not only more economical to ship USPS, but faster as well. For example, a box shipped to California or Utah by USPS Priority Mail will typically get to it’s destination cheaper and faster than UPS ground.

If speed of delivery is more important to you than the cost of delivery in a particular circumstance, we’ll look at both speed of delivery and cost of delivery and make an appropriate decision consistent with your time restraints.

If you do not wish us to ship via USPS, we can ship UPS even though it’s often more economical and faster to ship USPS to the western USA.

If you have your own UPS or FedEx shipping account, please provide your UPS or FedEx account information when completing your Nationwide Clean By Mail/Worldwide Clean By Mail Service Order Form.

As soon as your order(s) is picked up by USPS, UPS or FedEx, you’ll receive an email from the Post Office or carrier which will, amongst other things, identify the tracking number, shipping date and anticipated delivery date.

If your Nationwide Clean By Mail/Worldwide Clean By Mail Service Order Form did not include an email address, we might call you. The seamless solution is to make sure you enter your email address on the Service Order Form.

RAVE FabriCARE assumes no responsibility for loss or damage to your bespoke, made-to- measure, designer, high fashion, specialty and couture garments and/or other pieces in transit back to you, beyond the limit of any carrier insurance you choose and pay for.

If you live in the USA: Non-contiguous states (Alaska or Hawaii) or off-shore territories (American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico or the US Virgin Islands)

We will ship your order by USPS.

If you do not wish us to ship via USPS, we can ship UPS. Because all UPS shipping to Alaska and Hawaii as well as any off-shore territories goes by air, the cost of UPS shipping will be significantly more than the cost of shipping by USPS.

If you have your own UPS or FedEx shipping account, please provide your UPS or FedEx account information when completing your Nationwide Clean By Mail?Worldwide Clean By Mail Service Order Form.

As soon as your order(s) is picked up by USPS, UPS or FedEx, you’ll receive an email from the carrier which will, amongst other things, identify the tracking number, shipping date and anticipated delivery date.

If you live in Canada

We will ship your order via United States Postal Service (USPS) or United Parcel Service (UPS), whichever service is more economical.

As a general rule, it’s more economical to ship USPS to Canada.

If you do not wish us to ship via USPS, we can ship UPS.

If you have your own UPS or FedEx shipping account, please provide your UPS or FedEx account information when completing your Nationwide Clean By Mail/Worldwide Clean By Mail Service Order Form.

If you live in Western Europe, Gulf States, Far East or Australasia

If you live in Western Europe, Gulf States, Far East or Australasia, please note that we can return your order (or even part of your order) to an address in any country we service.

For example, you might ship a box to us from your home country and request that we return certain items to an address in the USA, certain items to an address in England and the remainder of your items to your home country.

We will ship your order via United States Postal Service (USPS) or United Parcel Service (UPS), whichever service is more economical.

RAVE ReviewsRecent customer testimonials

“I moved to a mid-sized Midwest town, and my Hermes tie got twisted and stained very badly. I thought it was a goner, but I did some online research and came across RAVE FabriCARE on one of the Hermes tie forums. So I thought I would give them a try, and I am glad that i did. I sent them my Hermes tie that I thought was beyond repair, and they did wonders with it--that's an understatement. I called during the process and they answered my questions, and were able to do all of the necessary things to restore my tie to LIKE NEW condition. When I got the tie back (in very secure and safe packaging), I was astonished. It looks like the tie is fresh out of the Hermes boutique. I am blown away and will now ALWAYS send my luxury brand ties to RAVE FabriCARE. Sure, they cost a little more than a run-of-the-mill dry cleaner, but it is money well spent. They brought a $180+ tie back from the dead, literally. So, I look at it like this, instead of losing a $180+ tie, I got a brand new one for 2 $20 bills and the cost of shipping, and it would have been much less (like $20) if my tie hadn't been such a severely creased, twisted, and stained mess. THANK YOU, RAVE FabriCARE!”

“I send all my custom bespoke suits once a year to freshen them up. One 100% wool suit had accidentally been put into a washing machine (blasphemy!) and they managed to restore it to the point that my tailor could not tell it had been wet-washed until she inspected the inner lining. They make magic at this place. Pricey, but worth it.”

“I wear higher-end men's clothing: Brooks Brothers Golden Fleece, Grieves & Hawkes, and similar marks. When my clothing needs to be cleaned, I ship it to RAVE FabriCARE. Yes, they charge more, and transit adds time and cost, but they are simply the best. I am a very satisfied customer.”

“Wow! Got the suit back today and I'm almost at a loss for words to describe what a great job you guys did. Just fantastic! The lapels were ironed to perfection, better than when I received the suit new from Polo. I will definitely be sending more of my things your way in the very near future.”

“RAVE FabriCARE has done the impossible with my once gorgeous white Armani linen sundress and my very best white shirts, all of which had turned grey or yellow after too many trips to franchised cleaners. RAVE made them look better than new. They returned bright white, and properly stuffed with tissue. RAVE can remove any stain; they removed a huge ink spot from a Bottega Venata purse, matching the dye perfectly. They just restored a military uniform that was 125 years old. Magnificent job. Have you spilled red wine down the front of your very favorite dress? If you answered “yes”, this is the place for you. RAVE was recommended to me by the manager of the local Ralph Lauren store; they have “trying on” stains removed from their couture clothing at RAVE. People from all over the country send their clothes to RAVE, and RAVE returns them so perfectly packed that they are wrinkle free, even going so far as Paris. A little pricer than the chain cleaners, but well worth it. Professional and courteous staff, and cleaning is always ready on time. A really superlative establishment.”

“I've been using them for a couple of years now and have nothing but consistent excellence. Most recently, I sent them some leather jackets that had been seriously damaged by mold (they were in a closet with high moisture for far to many months). One of the jackets was worth several thousand dollars and I did not want to see it go to the clothing graveyard. It was badly “infested” and looked more than ready for the trash heap – it was nearly white with mold instead of black. I sent photos to RAVE FabriCARE and the response was “OMG!” Though it took some time (and after the damage that had been done I was NOT in a hurry), about 8 weeks, the ten jackets I sent began to come back. Each one looked better than new – seriously – and included little repairs (fixed buttons, minor stitching, etc.) that I had not expected. The “OMG!” jacket came back in amazing condition – not quite like new since the mold had taken its toll on some of the color, but the jacket is ready to hit the town again looking like it should after years of wear. All I can say about their work is “Wow!!!”. I couldn't be happier. Yes, they are expensive, but for those items that you want to keep looking their best (or just can't imagine losing) then RAVE FabriCARE is the only place that you should be cleaning your garments. Oh....and another thing...I live in California so I send everything to them – shirts, suits, jackets, slacks. I don't send all my clothes all the time, just the ones that need special attention. I'm never disappointed.”

“RAVE has worked miracles on our clothes which we ship from the east coast to Stu. Examples are a red wine spill on a white linen suit and blood on a yellow tie with complete removal without damage to the cloth. Worth every penny for the service. Stu is always prompt responding to email also.”

“I received my clothing on Monday and I want you to know that I think you do amazing work. My tan suit has been effectively “reborn” and has earned a spot back in my rotation of summer suits. The navy suit is as crisp as I have ever seen it. There remains one spot on the front of the left shoulder (I thought it was my wife's makeup) that I assume was not amenable to you magic but the overall appearance of the suit is still greatly improved. I will readily admit that I thought your prices were just as breathtaking as the quality of our work, but, even still, I feel that you deliver solid value for the money. Thanks again for working your magic on my beloved clothing! I now know first hand why you are so highly regarded on the A Suitable Wardrobe blog!!”

“….true, you shouldn't take your suit to a dry cleaner too often, but harsh chemicals are only a problem if you're going to a sub par one.... Instead, look for a place like RAVE FabriCARE. Go to their website and see if any of the places around you have the same standards. If not, send off your clothing to them through their (Nationwide) Clean By Mail service. Bad dry cleaning should not be accepted as a fact of life.”

“For the RAVE Bespoke Service, the jackets come back on wide hangers hung within individual tombstone boxes, stuffed carefully with acid-free tissue that their excellent ironwork is completely undisturbed. They will photograph items on arrival so that there is a reference for the pressing staff. The quality of the ironwork is no less than from a tailor. It's entirely above the standard of a dry cleaner. I can't imagine settling for anything less than this for bespoke clothes, and cross country is still easier than cross Atlantic, which is what I used to do. The last delivery that I got was about an eight foot high stack of such boxes.”

“This is simply the best cleaner in the nation. Those looking for an inexpensive cleaner, be warned. RAVE is pricy, but worth every dollar spent. I wear suits and sport coats on a daily basis and have had horrible experiences with different cleaners. Issues from cracked buttons, to them not pressing the jacket correctly, I was fed up. I met Stu at my place of employment (they offer free pick up and delivery at my place of employment) and told me about his establishment. I decided to give him a try. Well, a week later I spilled expresso on my trousers. I tried my local cleaners but they were unable to get a simple coffee stain out. I finally tried RAVE and sent my whole suit to be cleaned, and it came back a week later looking like new. The lapels are hand pressed giving it that rolled factor (there is nothing worse than a suit with lapels that have no life). For those that have had a suit made, bespoke or MTM, you understand the importance of a lapel brimmed with life. I've also had a wonderful 3 button roll sport coat (3 button coat that looks like a 2 button) cleaned and was pleased when it came back pressed to accommodate the roll. I love the fact that RAVE will take the buttons off and have your coat cleaned and then sew them back on. No more cracked horn buttons!! Yes!! Lastly RAVE is a miracle worker when it comes to white shirts. The shirt RAVE cleaned was my first custom shirt ever by Zegna. It had obvious signs of wear, many launderings, and god awful yellow armpit stains. RAVE was able to make the shirt look brand new! In conclusion, if you're looking for a "cheap" cleaner, RAVE is not the cleaner for you. But remember, you get what you pay for. RAVE FabriCARE is worth every penny. And on a final note, RAVE is used by Saville Row tailors. If the best suit makers in the world use RAVE, then you know RAVE is simply the best.”

“I'm sorry to say that I listened to the sales staff at Turnbull & Asser who recommended a cleaner here in New York. I should have just ignored their advise and followed what I know to be the best. Please forgive me.”

“Stu at RAVE is an old school artisan who understands stains and cloth. His business is quality hand cleaning of garments, not tubs of shirts at $2.49 on a hanger. I priced out Jeeves in NYC for some Hermes scarves that needed help. Stu did a better job at half the price. I do not live in Arizona so our transaction took place completely thru email and UPS. The scarves were returned on a tissue covered board - a real presentation. Just perfect. He saved one I thought was lost and brightened the color a good bit. I can only imagine how dresses come out. I am about to try an ochre silk covered with breading from the 40s. If you have good clothing this is a way to help them last longer. If you have an ugly spot, he can probably find something to remove it and not hurt the cloth. A fine place all round.”
