English term or phrase: Charges
ON-SITE ALTERATIONS
Alterations are done on site by request, 7 days a week during store hours. Professional tailoring and alteration services are available for men, women and children. Charges available at time of fitting.

The last sentence means there is no charges if the clothes do not fit the customer or charges will be told at the time of offering the alteration services?

Explanation:
I think the latter i.e. you will be told what the cost is when you have your fitting, but it's not well written (if you don't mind me saying)

agree  Tony M: Yes, you will be told how much it will cost before they actually do the alterations. Nothing wrong with the way it is written IMHO.

Explanation:
I think the word "available" is used in a misleading way here. The customer must have the money for the alterations available, i.e. he or she must pay immediately.
I could be wrong, though...
