PayPal

PayPal is a widely-accepted, fully-secure method of sending monies worldwide. Many of our clients already use PayPal. Not only does PayPal send confirmations of money transfers but it also provides buyer and seller with a detailed record of transactions for accounting purposes (especially helpful for insurance purposes). Although we guarantee everything that we sell, PayPal also offers added protection to buyers.

Important – please note: If you purchase anything from our catalogue sampling, using the PayPal Buy It Now link below, it will be necessary to confirm the shipping and insurance fees before processing your payment. Please first contact us by telephone or e-mail to determine what these additional fees will be. We generally ship via U.S. Postal Service: priority mail, certified or insured. While the majority of our clients are within the continental United States, we also have clients in Europe and Asia. Please understand that shipment overseas will be Air Parcel Post, with shipping rates variable depending upon the country of delivery.

Layaway – Young people and those on a limited budget find layaway an excellent means of acquiring material. Our terms are simple. On purchases of $200 or more, a client may place an item or items on 90-day layaway with a one-third, non-refundable deposit. Equal payments are due at 60 and 90 days, at which time material is shipped. All material remains our sole property until such time as the terms of layaway are fully met. There is no additional charge for layaway.
