PROCESSING METHOD: We have begun using 'REAL TIME' order processing. This results in one more security measure for you, our customers. But it also means, once the order is sent, we no longer can cancel, add-on, correct mistakes, or change shipping option. Re-submitting your order will result in 2 charges because the bank received your charges when you submitted the first order. In re-submitting, please allow ample time for your bank to remove the first charge.

Real time processing definition: Data processing that appears to take place, or actually takes place, instantaneously upon data entry or receipt of a command. This means when you submit your order, you are charged when you press the submit button.
.
ADDRESS INFORMATION ON WRONG LINES: Computer automation dictates that information must be on correct lines in order to be read when importing your shipping address to your parcel label. We cannot be held responsible for missed apartment numbers or any other incorrect information. For processing, we check: street, city, state and zip code. If any are wrong the credit card won't process and your payment will be DECLINED.
.
SELLING YOUR INFORMATION: Sugarcraft will NEVER sell or give your name, address, phone number or any other information to any other person or company.

DELIVERY-SIGNATURE: The shipper may leave your package if you are not at home at the driver's discretion as a courtesy. Our Company considers this the same as a "signature received". If you will not accept this method of delivery, please provide a statement on the order and we will ship your parcel as "signature required". There will be an additional $3.00 fee charged to your payment separate from your Web Store Order before your parcel ships for this service. Please allow an additional 2-3 shipping days.
.
COMPUTER SETTING COOKIES: Allow our web store to email you a copy of the order. AOL and other hosts send unwanted updates. (They do this often). This feature can be turned off. TO Fix this problem: log online using AOL, then minimize AOL and use Internet Explorer to place your order. You will bypass all AOL's bad settings. Please note that your order WILL come to us. Without "Cookies" turned on you will not receive an automatic copy of your order or a shipping notification. Never use Firefox or Safari browsers because a glitch does not send you a copy of your order.
.
ADDITIONAL FEES
You were given an estimated shipping cost. We may phone and/or email you if charges are more. We will only charge the amount necessary to ship your package by method chosen, or change your method of shipping to a cheaper shipping method. UPS may charge additional fees for out-of-town, rural areas, and/or small communities. UPS will charge extra if they call you or you call them and change or correct a delivery address. UPS charges extra for address changes or corrections. If you give us incorrect information or UPS is not able to locate your address, you will be charged the additional fees.
Do I have to pay sales tax?
We do not collect sales or use taxes in all states. For states imposing sales or use taxes, your purchase is subject to use tax unless it is specifically exempt from taxation. Your purchase is not exempt merely because it is made over the Internet or by other remote means. Many states require purchasers to file a sales/use tax return at the end of the year reporting all of the taxable purchases that were not taxed and to pay tax on those purchases. Details of how to file these returns may be found at the websites of your respective taxing authorities. For Ohio purchasers, the tax will be charged to your credit card and paid to the state of Ohio by our Company. This amount will appear on the white register receipt enclosed in your parcel. We suggest that you keep these receipts as proof of state tax paid in case of possible Ohio audit. For California purchasers, taxes are collected on airbrushes, airbrush parts, compressors and other items dropped shipped by the manufacturer Kopykake. California customers will be notified what the sales/use tax amount will be and our Company will charge your credit card.

PROBLEM ORDERING?
The main problem is bad browsers. Safari doesn't work and Firefox doesn't allow you to get a copy of your order. Use Explorer please.
There could be an error with a product. I would need full discription including stock number, to test the item.

For products placed in groups. This is so you can add several before going to checkout each time - for convenience. So this is what you do
with GROUPS:
1. check the little box for items you want...change quantity if needed.
2. At bottom of that group, click ADD TO CART

Please do not use safari or Firefox. They don't work well.
SEARCH ENGINES: If you found us through a search engine, this can be a problem too.
Please enter our website by typing in: www.sugarcraft.com. If it looks different, that probably was the problem.

If the above does not fix your problem, there is either an error with that particular product that we must fix first, or if you can do
everything until you arrive at the credit card page, the problem is with your computer. You could have 'cookies' turned off. (We need 'cookies' to send an order copy to you). In that case, I will get a copy and send you an email to call to provide credit card information.

SEARCH ENGINE- if you found us using a search engine, try to enter our website by typing http://www.sugarcraft.com - if now you see a menu and before not, that was it.

Why and how the BBB (Better Business Bureau)  lost all their credibility
This is a news article from a large TV station located in Cincinnati Ohio on 11/12/2010
Its good reading if you think the BBB will go to bat for you!
Sugarcraft does not pay blackmail to the BBB and never will. I'm certainly glad to see this article come to print today!
There is more recent information on BBB irregularities at www.clarkhoward.com (a great website to know about!)
