Frequently Asked Questions

International customers: We are no longer shipping to the UK since Brexit. The rules and regulations for shipping there are profound, and time consuming and tedious, so it just does not make sense for us to comply. If you have a shipping address outside the UK, we can ship there. If you are from the UK and place an order on our site, we will refund you

What do you charge for shipping my order?

First, place your items in the cart and click on Proceed to Checkout. There, you will be asked in the Shpping section of the Shopping Cart to enter your state and zip code (if you live in the USA) or your country and postal code if you live outside the USA. You will then be shown the USPS charges for your order, and you may have more than one option presented. All this information is presented to you without entering any billing/shipping informtion, so it's a good way to find out what shipping fees are before placing an order.

What are your shipping policies? Is there a way to lower shipping charges?

Our shipping is through the mainly via USPS, so we can ship to home and business addresses and PO Boxes anywhere in the world. Our shipping charges reflect the charges by the USPS, so they are based on weight, distance traveled, and speed of service. We do not tack on charges to profit from shipping our products. Almost all domestic packages are sent by First Class and Priority Shipping.

We also can ship by UPS which can be cheaper, primarily for people in the western third of the country.

If your shipping charges are holding you back from ordering with us, send us an email or call us with what you want to order, and we will see if we are able to find a less expensive option. Some items, like books and DVDs, may be able to be shipped by Media Mail, another source of savings to you.

I am looking for a product and can’t seem to find it. What should I do?

Try using our “Search” feature; this is accessible from every page on the website. Simply fill in key words such as, color (like purple), by brand (like HandiQuilter), or by product name (like VersaTool). You can also put in the item name like ruler or adhesive spray.

I just bought something at regular price in your store while ago, and now it is listed on sale. Can you give me the sale price?

The short answer is no. I wish we could accommodate every customer when this issue arises. We put items on sale for a set time, usually a week. There HAS to be a start and stop time for all sales, like at most retailers. To try to offer the sale price to customers outside those dates would be monumental. At what point do you REALLY stop offering a sale price? One day? One week? One month? Then the idea of a sale kind of goes out the window. And if you take it further, the only "right thing to do" would be for us to contact all the people who bought the item that later went on sale, and give them the discount. So you see this becomes impossible. So we don't offer the sale price beyond the sale time, and please don't ask us to do this, as it puts everyone in an awkward situation.

Do you offer gift certificates?

This is in the planning stage, not available now.

I forgot my log-in password. Is there a way to reset it?

Yes there is, though it is infrequent!!; we have a newsletter a few times a year. Simply sign up by clicking on the “Mailing List” icon at the top of the website and make sure you select the “ Subscribe ” link. From there, simply enter your email address and name and you will start receiving our newsletters! (Note: we do not give our mailing list to others!)

I no longer wish to receive your newsletter. Is there a way I can unsubscribe?

Of course! Click on the “Mailing List” icon at the top of the website, then select the “ Unsubscribe ” link. Fill out your information and you will no longer receive our newsletters.

I can't get my DVD to play? Any suggestions?

We get this question occasionally. Our DVDs are duplicated to be able to play on virtually any DVD player anywhere in the world. In the 30,000+ DVDs we have shipped, only 1 or 2 were actually defective in some way and needed to be replaced. In most cases, if it does not play on a computer's DVD player, there is something with the software not allowing it to play. In any event, if the DVD does not play correctly, please try it in at least 2 or 3 other DVD players or computers before contacting us. We hope not to have to replace #3 DVD!!!
