Why buy direct from our website?

Advantages of Buying Direct

The majority of our business is through our website, but we also sell on other venues such as Etsy and eBay. Some buyers prefer to remain on these sites as they are familiar and comfortable using them, but we also would like to let you know about the advantages and ease of buying from us direct.

I just started this with a few basic questions and will continue to add to this as we get asked more questions.

Advantages to buying direct

What is the difference between buying from our website and Etsy or eBay?

Our products and customer service is exactly the same quality. So why change?

  1. may be lower prices on some items on our website
  2. more payment options on our website
  3. option to use a credit card on our website (you pay in Canadian funds, which will cost you less, we only accept PayPal US funds on the other sites)
  4. all products are available through our website, but may not be available on the other sites
  5. we offer specials on our website

Credit Card Questions

I don't use my credit card online

Not a problem, even though our order form page is secure, we would be more than happy to call you and take your credit card information over the telephone.

On our secure order form, under "Comments", leave a note that you would like us to call you for your credit card information.

Why am I paying in Canadian funds?

If I live in the US, why are you charging my credit card in Canadian funds?

It isn't based on where you live, it is where we are located. Because we are a Canadian business, we have to charge in Canadian funds.

Your credit card company will convert the amount to US dollars.

PayPal Questions

Isn't PayPal easier on other sites?

Is it easier to make your PayPal payment on Etsy or eBay?

No, not really, it is very much the same.

On our secure order form, under "Payment Information", select PayPal for Payment Option.

We automatically send you an invoice through PayPal.

When you receive the email notification from PayPal, you only have to click on the link. Or you can sign into PayPal and send payment from there.

General Questions

I hate filling out online order forms!

The sole purpose of having a secure online order form is for our customer to transmit their credit card information to us in a secure manner.

However, our Secure Order Form page is set up to list all of our products and prices, organized by category, on one page, so for some folks, this is easier.

If you are already an established customer with us, and using the same credit card, we already have your customer information on file, so you do not have to continue to use our order form for future orders.

Do you have to complete our order form? This will depend on how you are sending payment or if you are a repeat customer.

PAYPAL - If you will be paying through PayPal, you do not have to complete the order form. If you prefer, you can send us an email with your personal information (address, phone, comments) and a list of the item(s) you would like to purchase. Hint: from the product page or order form page, simply copy the exact product name and price of the item(s) you would like to purchase.

CREDIT CARD - If you are using a credit card for the first time, or using a different credit card from a previous order, you would have to complete the order form this one time only. For any future orders, as long as we are charging the same credit card, you could send your order by email.

I prefer a personal touch

We would be more than happy to call you and explain website purchases or answer any questions you may have.

Send us an email and request a phone call. Be sure to include your telephone number (including area code) and a convenient day and time to call.

    I am so impressed with you business and am just pleased as can be to get know you. There are some things to be said about reputation and creditably, and those two things you have. I love the designs of you products. They are so original and that's what makes them special, ...well no, ...you guys are what makes them special.

    Gosh, I'm thinking why I like to buy direct vs say eBay? Well when I see free shipping on a direct website, that gets me interested for sure. LOWER prices, naturally! I think eBay I like because I can use my PayPal account and not give up my credit card.
