Hours of Operation
9:00 a.m. till 5:00pm EST from Monday through Friday excluding holidays.
Payment Terms
Pumpkinvine Corner welcomes Visa, MasterCard and Discover credit cards and debit cards. The currency of transations is in U.S. dollars. We can often ship the same day you order when you pay by credit card. Billing and shipping information is verified on all orders. Our preference is payment by credit card, but we will also accept money orders and personal checks. We reserve the right to hold orders for shipping until such items clear the bank.
Sales Tax
According to the law, Items shipped to a Georgia address will be charged 7 percent sales tax on the entire order including shipping.
Shipping
Excluding weekends and holidays, we do our best to ship within 24 hours. When possible, we'll even ship on Saturday. We typically ship using USPS Priority Mail. U.S. Customers may request a First Class rate if their order is small and 13 ounces or under. (ie: a few patterns, a couple of spools of thread, etc. ) With first class shipping, I must add the delivery confirmation fee and the cost of the box, but the shipping total is generally a couple of dollars less than the cost of Priority Mail.
The technique used by Shopping Cart software to figure shipping charges is not an exact science. The software doesn't know what size shipping container is needed, as well as the amount of necessary packing materials. It cannot determine if the purchased item is being shipped by itself or with other items. There are times when it miscalculates the shipping charge. If this were to happen, it would most likely be when a large or heavy item is included with other items. Be assured that we double check the weight of all orders before processing a payment. We are very concious of how items are wrapped and packaged so as to keep the weight of the shipment as low as possible. If your order weighs less than calculated, we will reduce your shipping amount at the time of processing. We reserve the right to increase the shipping charge if the actual shipping weight unreasonably changes the cost we must pay to ship your package. We will not ship the package when additional shipping charges are requested until we receive your approval.
If your package is heavy, we will compare USPS rates with UPS (United Parcel Service) and will use the most economical choice. Should we choose UPS, we will need a physical address as UPS will not ship to a post office box.
Priority Mail usually takes 2 or 3 days from the time it is shipped. UPS ground usually takes 3 to 7 business working days for delivery.
Because the arrival time of your order is often dictated by conditions which are out of our control, we cannnot guarantee exact delivery times for UPS, or the US Postal Service.
We will not normally be alarmed nor trace any regular ground shipments until at least 2 weeks after shipping.
When there is a U.S. shipping promotion, the shopping cart will automatically recalculate the shipping amount when a minimum total is reached. Special orders are excluded from shipping promotions.
International sales
In addition to all 50 U.S. states, U.S territories (such as Puerto Rico, Guam and U.S. Virgin Islands) and APO/FPO Military Mail, we accept orders billed and/or shipped to Canada, the British Isles and certain European countries. Free or half-price shipping promotions do not apply to international orders. Pumpkinvine Corner is not responsible for any fees associated with customs, duties, and taxes. The recipient is responsible for any and all fees incurred with international shipments. Shopping cart shipping calculations are just an estimate. If the shipping is less because we can use a flat rate international box, we will deduct the difference from your total. If it is more (which would be rare), we would get your approval before processing the order. For more specific details on International shipping, please click here.
Credit Card Statement
If you use a credit card to pay for your purchase, Pumpkinvine Corner is the name that will appear on your Credit Card Statement. Please contact us or any merchant before issing a "charge-back" on a charge you don't recognize or remember. Charge-Backs always cost the merchant a substantial fee.
Monthly Programs
Joining a monthly club (if there is one presently running) is a customer commitment for the entire length of the program. Depending on the payment plan chosen, units will be shipped to the customer on a regular basis and the customer will be charged in installments until payment is made in full for all units. The customer cannot cancel Club membership. If we are unable to process the customer's credit card for any club shipment then Pumpkinvine Corner reserves the right to terminate customer's club membership and no remaining or future units will be sent to the customer. In the event customer is charged an installment for a unit not received, please notify Pumpkinvine Corner as soon as possible so we can remedy the situation. Pumpkinvine Corner reserves the right to cancel club memberships for any reason including customer billing and shipping problems.
Returns
Pumpkinvine Corner allows returns on certain products. If there is a problem, please contact us within 5 days of receiving your order. Customers need a Return Material Authorization (RMA) before returning any item. You can request the RMA by contacting us via e-mail or fax. Any defective merchandise will be promptly replaced. Products returned for other reasons may be returned for a merchandise credit which excludes all shipping costs. The returned product(s) must be in the same condition as when sent to you; unopened and in original packaging. Shipping is not refundable. Because of copyright laws, there can be no refunds on patterns, books or other items with a copyright. Returns sent to us without a RMA will be returned to sender with any additional fees incurred. Please e-mail us with any questions about returning an item.
Miscellaneous
Pumpkinvine Corner reserves the right to cancel an order if necessary. Because of the potential for Internet fraud, we may decline to accept certain suspicious orders or orders from certain countries. All information on this site, including merchandise, products and services are subject to change without notice.
Pumpkinvine Corner is not liable for incorrect pattern or kit instructions created or written by another company.
Order fulfillment: Occasionally, due to availability, an item may be out of stock. If the bulk of your order is in inventory, the in-stock items are shipped promptly, unless the customer specifies otherwise. We will notify you if an item is out of stock. We do not back order items because not all items are always available for re-order. Please use the comment section of your shopping cart should you wish to share any special instructions.
Color Discrepancies:
Color computer monitors can often display colors differently. Please take this into account when ordering colored items like thread.
