WE NO LONGER ACCEPT PAYPAL  Our Shopping Cart is set up for VISA, MASTERCARD, DISCOVER, the order form is self explanatory.  If you prefer to pay by Money Order, please place your order by email, fax or phone.  We will need to pull your order and weigh it BEFORE we can give you the amount your Money Order needs to be for.  Please do not pre-pay, as the total listed on the site does not include shipping cost.

When placing your order by fax or phone, we ask that you use our Item# that is listed on our site to avoid any errors,
if not using our shopping cart.

United States Postal Service (hereinafter referred to as USPS) is our preferred shipping method (i.e., Priority, First Class, Express Mail (EMS).  WE WILL NOT SHIP FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL.  MORE OFTEN THAN NOT THESE SHIPMENTS ARE LOST.  IF PRIORITY IS NOT AVAILABLE TO YOUR AREA, WE WILL SHIP YOUR ORDER BY EMS.  We ship "Priority" unless otherwise noted.  If your order is small and will ship in a bubble mailer at a lesser postage rate, we will ship your order this method.  If we will be shipping glass, (beads, color magic enamels, crystals, rhinestones etc.) even though a small order, we prefer Priority for your protection from shipping damages.  We can only instruct carriers to deliver your parcel to the shipping address. We are not allowed to instruct the mail carrier to leave parcels on porches, behind fences etc. If you wish the
carrier to do so, just write a note with instructions, sign your name, and leave it where the carrier can find it.
FOR INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS:  Due to the recent change (May 14, 2007) in shipping with the USPS, there is no way of tracking your shipment.  We will ship your order in a Flat Rate Priority Envelope (no tracking available, no insurance).  In most cases the charge for this is approx. $12.50 USD.  If it will have to be shipped in a box, we will ship Priority International.  We can add insurance to this shipment.  If you would like your order shipped insured, please request when ordering.  If you want to be able to track your shipment, it will have to be shipped Registered Mail.  This is very expensive.  Priority Flat Rate Envelope is the least expensive shipping available out of the US.
WE RECEIVE MANY EMAILS FOR SHIPPING COST BEFORE PLACING A ORDER.  THERE IS NO WAY FOR US TO KNOW WHAT YOUR SHIPPING WILL BE UNTIL THE ENTIRE ORDER IS PULLED AND PROCESSED.  BECAUSE WE CHARGE ACTUAL SHIPPING CHARGES, IT WOULD BE UNFAIR TO PUT A FLAT AMOUNT OF SHIPPING ON EACH ORDER, WHEN IT FACT IT WILL BE LESS.

1.  UPS Next Day Air Early AM (most expensive for overnight)
2.  UPS Next Day Air (usually delivered in AM to PM)
3.  UPS Next Day Air Saver (delivered in the late afternoon) (least expensive for overnight)
4.  UPS 2nd Day Air Early AM (most expensive for 2 day delivery)
5.  UPS 2nd Day Air (usually deliver in PM) (lease expensive for 2 day delivery)

WE CHARGE ACTUAL SHIPPING CHARGES for all US Shipments on orders over $20.00.  If your order is $20.00 and under,
A SMALL ORDER PROCESSING CHARGE OF $3.50 WILL BE APPLIED.
International shipments incur $1.50 handling charge on all orders.

WE SHIP WORLDWIDE DAILY!

Orders are shipped within 24 to 72 hours after receipt if received during normal hours of operation
(excluding holidays, weekends, etc.).

All orders $20.00 and over will include Insurance for customers protection, unless order is shipped out of The United States.  If your order is $20.00 and under, please specify that you would like your shipment insured.  All orders shipped out of the states are shipped without insurance as it is not available unless your order is shipped by USPS  Priority International or EMS Shipping.  If you would prefer insurance, please add this to our comment section of our order form.  All USPS shipments in the US will include Delivery Confirmation so we will be able to track your order once it leaves our facility. 
All other orders please request "EXPRESS SHIPPING" or "UPS SHIPPING".  There is no way to track your order if it is shipped by Priority, Insured, First Class.

Please understand....once your order leaves our facility, we have NO CONTROL OVER IT. 
WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE USPS (US GOVERNMENT).
WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER UPS.

If you feel that your shipment is delayed in arriving, please check with your local post office.
Shipments may need a signature of receipt.  If no one is available to sign for the shipment, the post office will hold it there until someone comes and claims it.  Note:  They do not always leave a slip in your box letting you know that they attempted delivery, so check with your post office.  If a order is insured for over $50.00, the postal service will not leave it without a signature.  If you request your package to be left, it will not have insurance coverage.

OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS - PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL CUSTOMS OFFICE.  MANY TIMES CUSTOMS WILL HOLD THE PACKAGE UNTIL SOMEONE REQUEST INFORMATION ABOUT IT.  IF NOT CLAIMED, IT MAY-OR-MAY-NOT BE RETURNED TO US.  IF RETURNED TO US, WE WILL EMAIL YOU LETTING YOU KNOW THAT IT HAS BEEN RETURNED.  YOU WILL HAVE THE OPTION OF HAVING THE PACKAGE RE-SHIPPED (AT CUSTOMERS EXPENSE), OR HAVE THE ORDER REFUNDED (WITHOUT SHIPPING COST) TO THE ORIGINAL PAYMENT SOURCE.

We can, however, assist you in recovering your lost or damaged shipments.  Both USPS (United States Postal Service) and UPS (United Parcel Service) have guidelines for processing claims.  Again, THESE ARE NOT OUR GUIDELINES!

Please note:  The USPS will not file a claim for a Insured Package for loss until it has been 30 days
from the postmark on the insurance receipt.
