Text messages from OXFORD CLEANERS

OXFORD CLEANERS is a dry cleaner in Pearland, TX. We send order text messages only to customers who choose to check our optional text-message box in our web app: on the sign-up form, or later in the app's Account settings. Texts are never required: customers who leave the box unchecked still create an account and use every service, and see their order updates in the app instead. This page shows exactly how that works.

Program: OXFORD CLEANERS account and order notifications.

What we send: updates about your orders, pickups and deliveries, to customers who opted in. Separately, when a customer asks for one, a single one-time code to confirm their number or sign in. No marketing or promotional texts.

Message frequency varies with your orders (usually a few texts per order). Message and data rates may apply.

Reply STOP to any message to opt out, or HELP for help, or call us at (281) 412-3419. After STOP you won't get more texts unless you opt in again. You can also turn off order updates in the app's Account settings.

How customers opt in

Opt-in happens only inside our web app: on the sign-up form at /signup, or, for a customer who skipped it there, later in the app's Account settings, which shows the very same unchecked box and wording. There is no other way we collect phone numbers or consent for texting.

  1. Our public home page, with a Sign up button and the text-message terms1. Home pageThe customer taps "Sign up for pickup & delivery" on our website.
  2. The sign-up form's Terms step, showing the terms and the unchecked accept box2. TermsThey read our Terms & Conditions (including the text-message terms, section 15) and accept them. This does not sign them up for texts.
  3. The About you step: name, mobile number and the unchecked optional text-message box3. Phone number + optional boxThey enter their name and mobile number. Below it is a separate text-message box marked Optional. It starts unchecked, and the form says it isn't required.
  4. The same step with the optional box checked by the customer4. The customer choosesChecking the box opts in to order texts. Leaving it unchecked skips them: the customer continues with "Text me a one-time code" either way and can use every service.
  5. The verification code step after the one-time code is sent5. One-time codeAt the customer's request we send one text with a 6-digit code to confirm the number belongs to them. This is not a subscription. If they checked the box, we record the time and wording they agreed to.
  6. The app's Account settings: the text switch opens the same unchecked optional box, with Turn on texts greyed out until it's checked6. Later, in Account settingsA customer who skipped the box can turn on "Text me updates about my orders" in the app's Account settings (Account → Notifications). The same optional box appears, unchecked, and "Turn on texts" only works once they check it. We record the time and wording and send one confirmation text. Turning the switch off stops texts.

The consent wording, exactly as shown

Right below the box: "Not required. You can leave this unticked and still sign up and use every service; your order updates will show in the app instead. You can change this any time in the app's Account settings."

Example messages

These are all the kinds of texts we send, word for word. Names, dates, times and numbers change for each order. The order texts go only to customers who checked the optional box. We never send marketing or promotional texts.
