Please note that you may place an order online, without creating an account or signing in. However, you will not be able to view your orders or order status online, and all pertinent information will need to be entered again, each time you place an order. You also will not have any of the other "benefits of free membership".
Order Delays
We try to keep an accurate online inventory. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that we have all items in stock at all times. Most times, you will see an "out of stock" notice when you place an item in your shopping cart, or when you go to checkout. If an item is out of stock, an email will be sent informing you of the next available ship date, possible upgrades, or substitutions. Normally, we will hold the entire order until all items are available.
We suggest you to wait until all items are in stock. After 21 days, we will automatically ship any available item in your order and delete the missing items, unless you have made other arrangements with us.
However, we will happily send any available items immediately. Just contact us, to let us know you want us to ship what we have. Please note that you will be charged the relevant shipping costs, if you wish us to split your order into more than one shipment.
About Mail Orders
Mail orders may easily be placed online. Many of our items are of limited supply. By submitting a mail order online, we will be able to hold your items until your payment arrives. Please note that we do not have a print catalog at this time.
To place a mail order, just follow the ordering instructions, above.
When it comes time to choose a payment option, there will be a check and/or money order option, depending on your address.
On the order confirmation page, you will see instructions for sending your payment. At that time, you may print the page out to send in with your payment. Please note that you also need to confirm the order or it will not be received by us and we cannot hold the order for you. This can cause delay or cancellation of your order, if the items are not available when payment arrives.
If you do not have printer access, be sure to HAND PRINT your name, delivery address, items and quantity ordered, and date of order, so that we can find the order information when your payment arrives.
Most mail orders will ship within 14 business days (after payment arrives). If a valid email address is provided, we will notify you when payment arrives and when your order ships, as well.
Please double check the amount due, before sending in payment. If incorrect payment is received, we will either return payment to you, or adjust the order to bring the total under the payment amount.
I hope this has answered your questions about ordering. If you have other questions, please see our Customer Service Information page for answers to other frequently asked questions.
