Payment

You can pay for your cool stuff online with a credit card or PayPal or by postal mail with a check or money order:

1. PayPal: Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, electronic transfers, and eChecks are accepted through this online service.

Why PayPal? We've chosen PayPal for our online payment processing because it is secure, reliable, and widely used on the Web already. PayPal is the leading payment network for online auction Web sites, including eBay, which liked it so much they bought the company. Millions of people worldwide have PayPal accounts and millions of businesses large and small accept it. Small businesses like SkyBluePink can accept credit cards through PayPal more cheaply than with a traditional merchant account. This helps us keep those non-fancy prices.

2. Credit Cards: Now you don't have to sign up for a PayPal account to pay with a credit card! But if you do have an account, you will need to use it, as per PayPal policy. Click here for details at the PayPal site. (This link opens in a new window.)

We do not have a merchant account of our own, so we are unable to take credit card numbers over the phone. All credit card orders must be placed online.

3. Check or Money Order: The easiest way to prepare a mail order is to use the shopping cart system. Once you've selected all the cool stuff you want, pick your shipping zone and US state (if applicable) so that the cart can determine the shipping costs for you. Our shipping cost is based on the weight of the items, so using the cart is really the only way to figure out the right amount. Then you can print the shopping cart page by using your browser's Print option. It will be easier for us to read and less work for you, too! Be sure your name and shipping address appear on the page.

Alternatively, you can print out the order form and fill it in. Please PRINT your order, to be sure we know what you want! You will still need to use the shopping cart to determine the shipping cost.

Mail your form with a check or money order (made payable to "SkyBluePink") to:

2692 Madison Road, N1

USA

Checks must be in US funds drawn on a US bank. Orders paid by check will be held until the funds are deposited in our account.

Shipping

Within the US we ship via the United States Postal Service's First-Class or Priority Mail. By special arrangement, we can ship USPS Parcel Post or Express Mail, or any service offered by FedEx or UPS. Send an email to Orders@skybluepink.com to request speedy shipping. No COD orders. International orders will ship by Air Letter Post or Global Priority or as otherwise negotiated with our shipping department.

Shipping costs are based on the weight of your order, as this seems the fairest way. We tried very hard to make them accurate, but with the complexities of shipping these days, it isn't easy. So all shipping costs added by the cart are approximate until we can process and weigh your items. In some cases, particularly with heavy orders going overseas, we may need to request more postage, negotiated via e-mail.

Sometimes there will be extra postage costs to refund. On the cart page is your refund option; select either Surprise Goodies or PayPal. We are not out to make money on shipping! Please note that while you can now pay us online without having a PayPal account, we cannot refund extra shipping to you unless you do have an account. But there's always Surprise Goodies!

We usually ship within 1 week. Online orders will receive an e-mail confirmation when the order is received and another e-mail when it ships. Snail mail orders that include an e-mail address will also receive these e-mail confirmation messages.

Taxes & Handling

Our new location is in Ohio, so we will be charging 6.5% sales taxes to Ohio residents. We do not add a "handling" charge. Handling orders is our business!

International Orders

Due to the high costs associated with cashing checks or money orders from foreign countries, international orders must be made online using a credit card or PayPal account. We accept online payments from all countries approved for PayPal. See the International Accounts page at PayPal for more information. (This link opens in a new browser window.)

The shopping cart adds approximate shipping costs for the various countries shown in the dropdown list. The countries listed as "UK and Western Europe" include: Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland (Eire), Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and all the Scandinavian countries. Please e-mail us if you need to make special arrangements for international shipping: orders@SkyBluePink.com. International shipping will be billed at cost and overpayments will be refunded via Surprise Goodies or PayPal.

We have a firm policy of always filling out the US Customs forms truthfully. Being honest with our customers is part of who we are and they appreciate it. Being honest with the government is no different. Please don't ask for packages to be marked as gifts.

Order Form

Our order form is here. Click the "Print This Page" link on the bottom of the form to print out a copy. Please print your order neatly, to be sure we know what you want! Figure shipping costs by using the shopping cart. Be sure your name and address are on the form! Then mail it to the address below.
