Ordering Policy
For your convenience we accept four of the most popular credit cards. Need more information on our ordering and co. policies, please see the ordering section of this page. See our policy for more information.
Important Notice: Orders addressed to a Post Office Box (P.O.) can not be shipped through the UPS system. Customers must call in their orders to make special shipping arrangements to insure their order will be sent out as quickly as possible.

Company Policy & Ordering - Please Read
PLEASE NOTE: After 30 days all sales are final.
Boxing Fee: All orders processed whether by phone or by the online servers have a per order boxing/package fee of $3.00 placed on them. This fee is to cover the costs of the box or package and the labor to fill the order. unlike most other sites who charge a per box fee we don't. Example: If John Doe makes an online purchase and orders 25 sheets of glass, plus other materials that must be shipped in 3 boxes, two of which have glass in them, he will only be charged a one time box fee not 3 separate fees. This savings can be an asset to the craftsperson looking for lower prices.

Discover - Visa - Master Card - American Express
