How do I find
what I'm looking for? |
|
There are
several ways to find what you need. [1]
Use the buttons (most have red backgrounds & white
letters). All pages have buttons and if you get "lost" just click
on the one that says "Home" to return to the start.
[2] Use hyperlinks. When you
click on a hyperlink you go to that location. Hyperlinks can be
text or pictures. Text is blue and underlined. You will
see the words "Click here, or click below, etc. on nearly all
hyperlinks. [3] Use our site index.
On nearly all pages there is a button that says: Site Map/Index.
When you click on it you go to the index which is just like an
index in a book. Simply find what you want, then click on the
words [they are hyperlinks]. [4] Use the
search tool. It's on the top left of almost every page.
Just type in what you want
and you'll be given a list of all the places [pages], in the site
where that item is listed. Just review the summary descriptions,
and click on the link to go to the page that best fits what you
want. |

How do I place
an order? |
|
Start by
clicking on the selection of your choice, fill in the quantity and
then click on the "Add to Cart" button. You'll then see a brief
massage on the screen, that your item has been added to the
shopping cart, and you will be back to the same page you started
with, except the items you checked off [to buy] will now no longer
be checked or filled in. You can now move anywhere you want in the
site, buy more items, or just "surf". When you are ready, click on
the silver button on the left that says "View Cart or Check Out".
You next get a message[s] which is an alert to let you know you
are going to be on a secure connection, see the FAQ about
security for an explanation. Just click OK. You will now go to the
Shopping Cart which displays all the items you have marked.
Now you can double check your purchases, and change them if
needed. When satisfied, click on 1 of the 3 payment methods in the
lower left corner of the form (for an explanation see the FAQ:
"Can I order by mail or phone?"). After you select the payment
method, click on the button: "Click here to purchase for $x.xx".
The next screen will
be where you enter name, address, etc.. After that you will either
enter payment information [ie: credit card] & then check out; or
just check out so you can phone or mail your order. In all cases
you will be able to print out the complete details of your order,
plus, we send an automatic confirmation. |
|
|
|
Can I order by
mail or phone? |
|
Absolutely. The shopping cart gives 3 options: [1] Secure on
line credit card [2] Credit card by telephone or [3] Check or
money order by mail. |
|
|
|
|
Is a personal
check OK & how long will it take to clear? |
|
Personal
checks are no problem at all. They must clear, however, before we
can ship, this will take 15 days. NOTE: If you prefer not using a
credit card, but want fast
delivery and no extra postage, you can also pay with a Money
Order. |
|
|
|
How long
will it take to get my order ? |
|
|
We ship UPS (if you need next day, or air: e-mail
delivery requirements or call us to price your order for special
shipment!). Most orders are shipped within 3 business days (Mon. thru Fri.,
excluding holidays), sooner if possible. However, during the year end
holiday season rush (Nov/Dec), it may take an additional day or two to
ship your order. We will guarantee same
business day shipment (for orders received by Noon EST) for a
priority handling charge, you can tell us this when you "check out".
Note that UPS will not ship to PO Boxes. We must have a street
address. UPS
delivery times depend on the destination, and can vary from 1 to
6 days. We can, of course, make expedited
shipments [including next day air] but have to charge for this
premium service. If you click on the "Ordering Info." button on
the left side of one of our web pages, you will go to the Ordering
Information, Policies Procedures page. On that page if you click
on the red button that says: "UPS Ship Days" you will see a
complete map of the USA with a color coded key that gives the
average number of
days in transit, for UPS, for any destination in the continental
United States. |

Do you have a
toll free number?? |
|
Our pleasure! Toll Free
Number: 1(877)487-4289 |
|
|
|
What if I'm
not satisfied with my purchase? |
|
What?
What?? WHAT?? We like to think that would never never never
happen!
But,
alas, some day ........it
just might.....
We
will immediately correct any problem, including repair,
replacement or refund, depending on the issue. The only thing we
ask is that you notify us immediately [within 2 days] so we can
help resolve it to your satisfaction. |
|
|
|
|
What about
security of my credit card & personal information? |
|
We use
the latest SSL [Secure Sockets Layer] technology for encrypting
data so it remains safe and secure. SSL sends your credit card and
personal information in an encrypted code which can only be
decoded by our computer. There has never been a reported case of
information sent via computer with SSL that was stolen. Thawte is
a well known and respected leader in this technology. The
certificate in the lower right corner of our Home Page displays
the Thawte logo. If you click on the logo
itself you can get
additional information. In addition to making sure no one can get
your personal information electronically, we make the commitment
that we will NEVER share ANY information about you
with anyone, for any reason, period. |

I want to talk
to a real person! |
|
Sometimes no matter how carefully we try to make sure that
there are no unanswered
questions.............like Murphy's
Law................there are some. If you need to talk to
us, call on our toll free line: [877] 487-4289 Unfortunately,
if you need us at midnight or Sunday afternoon you may not
be successful in
reaching us! So for obvious reasons it's best to call when
our store is open (our hours are posted on the Home page of
our site). We do check our email frequently however so by
all means send us a message. We will respond! our email
address is: sales@candylandcrafts.com |
|

|
|
I can't find
what I want.......can you help? |
|
We will
make every effort to meet your needs. Remember that we carry over
10,000 products in our retail store..............and although we
have a very significant
number of these items in our web store, you may need something
that is not yet on the web site. Let us know [email is best
because it becomes an instant record; but phone and yes, even
snail mail is OK], we'll research it and see if we can help. |
|
|
|
What of you
are out of an item I need? |
|
Heaven forbid!!
Well............ we have to admit it happens once in a while
despite our best
efforts. If that happens you will be the first to know. We'll send
you an email telling what item was unavailable and when it should
be back in stock (Please note however, we do not backorder if the
value of the shortage is $5 or less). |

|
Can I use the
molds for hard candy or other materials? |
|
The molds
in our Catalog are designed for temperatures to 150oF.
This means they can be used for chocolate, soap, and other
materials that do not melt at higher temperatures (like plaster,
for example). You cannot use these molds for hard
candy, which melts at a much higher
temperature (like 300oF). Do not despair!
We DO carry molds which can be used up to 325oF, for
hard candy. Our candy mold page has information and links to many
different kinds of molds. <Candy
Molds> |
|
|
|
|
I want a mold
but it's not in your catalog, can you get it? |
|
Probably.
Just let us know what it is you need by email, phone or snail
mail. Custom molds can also be manufactured. |
|
|
|
How do you
ship? How can I get it the fastest way possible? |
|
Our
standard method of shipment is via UPS. If you have special
requirements or needs let us know what they are. We can ship next
day air, which is usually the quickest possible delivery. There is
an extra shipping cost for premium (such as next day) service. If
you specify "ship fastest way" with your order we will choose the
best method for your location. You will always be advised of
shipping costs for expedited deliveries, for your approval, prior
to us making the shipment. See FAQ "How long will it take to
get my order"
for more
information. Also if you click on the "Ordering Info."
button on the left side of one of our web pages you can get more
details. |

|
This web stuff
is new to me. How do I get around your site? |
|
Our site
has well over 200 individual pages and yes, it can be a little
confusing..........but don't worry, it's about impossible to get
really lost! The method that's right for you depends on your goal.
If you are simply looking for something, either very specific, or
even somewhat general, you should try any of 4 techniques: topic
buttons, hyperlinks, site index or search tool. These are all
explained under the FAQ "How do I find what I'm looking for". For
that answer just click here ==>
<Finding Something> On the other hand if you are just fishin' we
recommend starting at the Home page [or the page that you go to
when you first enter Candyland] & click from place to place by
reading what's on that page and then clicking to go to the next
one that is of interest to you. All pages have many links to many
other pages........the worst thing that can happen is you need to
get back to the beginning again..............just click on the
Home button! Also, keep in mind that your browser has a "back"
button. This comes in very handy when you are on a page, and
decide you want to go to one you just left but can't remember what
it was called. Most browsers allow you to go back
to many previous
pages. |

|
|
Can I order
something from the Wilton Catalog? |
|
The
answer is: Yes. We carry 90+% of the Wilton product line.
On
our home page click on the red button in the middle of the
page that says Order Form. You then will be directed to an
order form page. When you enter the items you want simply
say: Wilton Catalog #xxx-xxxx and the description of
the item[s]. For pricing use the prices in the (current)
Wilton Catalog. We will always send you a confirming
email with the ship date, and total cost of the order.
If there is something you wanted which we don't have we will
also advise you of that. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Do you ship
outside of the continental United States? |
|
Absolutely. We regularly ship to many different countries all
around the world. We will get the actual shipping costs
[since we can't determine that in advance], and send you an email before we charge you and ship the
order. |
