Your satisfaction and our guarantee
We stand behind our work, 110%. Our commitment to you is your complete satisfaction; no if's, ands or buts.
Your Privacy & Security
We will never share, sell, trade or give your personal information to anyone. The information we do ask you for; your name, email address, mailing address and contact phone number is kept strictly confidential. We do not collect and will not ask for any personal financial information from you. There is no transmission of data through our web site to be concerned about; personal, financial or otherwise. You may choose to use our online form for your initial inquiry if you like, but again, the information comes directly to us and we treat it as confidential. We talk with you privately by email, and any financial transactions are handled through PayPal's secure server or by some other means you are comfortable with.
Communications
We are almost always available online and try to respond to your emails within a few days. We like to be able to send digital images to you at your email address when we are discussing designs. Our preference for emails is in html format. All our outgoing emails are scanned by the latest version of Norton Anti Virus. If you have a spam filter or automatic junk mail program, please ensure that you put us on your 'allow list' and if you are expecting to hear from us and haven't, please check your filters. If you have an AOL email address we will ask for an alternate email address. For some reason, AOL addresses allow us to communicate for the first one or two messages and then our emails to AOL email addresses are consistently returned as undeliverable.
The email address we post on our website (nicola@touchwoodrings.com) is our public email address. When we respond to your emails, our mail will not be from nicola@touchwoodrings.com but from our private email address (onearth). We ask that you put 'Touch Wood' or 'Wood Rings' in the subject line of your first email to us to assist us in sorting through our mail. Thanks!
David and I are English speaking Canadians. Thanks to this technology, even if we speak a different language to yours, we can still work together. There is a great site from Alta Vista called Babble Fish which will translate a web page or an entire site into another language. You'll find the Babble Fish link on this page.
Beginning the process
Due to the demand for David's wood rings and our labour intensive lifestyle on the farm, we are currently booking folks into April 2009 (for a May 1st, 2009 shipping date). We appreciate your patience. We encourage you to contact us as soon as you know you would like a ring and even tentatively, book a shipping date. As usual, when you place your order you will be given a guaranteed shipping date. Our shipping dates are always at the end of a month. Getting the process started is as easy as sending us an email ~ please mention your needed by date and where you are writing from.
Paying for your Touch Wood Ring
We prefer to use PayPal's secure format for invoicing and receiving payment. We send your invoice when we send the first work in progress photos of your ring. We do ask that we receive your full payment before we ship your ring. The shipping fee is additional to the price we quote for your ring and we'll give you details and options for shipping when we talk with you.
PayPal works for us! They do charge us a fee to use their service but we feel it is worth it for the security and ease it offers to us and our customers.
If you wish to pay with a credit card, you do not need to open a PayPal account and can still use PayPal's secure website to make payment. We will also gladly accept a money order sent to our mailing address or (within Canada) an email money transfer is usually available if you use online banking. Please talk to us if using PayPal is not an option for you.
Shipping
We ship anywhere in the world.
We will ship via Canada Post Xpresspost unless you have instructed us to use another method. Canada Post offers a range of shipping options from regular small packet air mail to Priority Post Courier. Small packet air mail is the least expensive option ( around $10 ) with a 5 to 15 day delivery time to most destinations. This option does not provide online tracking of your package and does not have a guaranteed delivery time. Even so, it is a reliable and cost effective method for shipping. Xpresspost is an excellent option for anywhere from $10 to $50 depending on where you are in the world. It offers faster, guaranteed delivery times, insurance and tracking.
Purolator Courier offers the quickest (and most expensive) delivery - 3 to 5 days to most destinations.
We're online every day but please be patient if you don't hear back from me right away. I will always answer your email. (thanks, Nicola)
