| 1. Why did you choose to build your website using Yahoo Merchant Solutions? We wanted to gain access to a web-based entity that had a systematic and doable "package" for entrepreneurs who wanted to build and market an ecommerce website without having to learn any programming other than basic HTML. We also wanted to associate ourselves with an established and a well-known Internet "presence" such as Yahoo that offered a legitimate and business-like way to start and operate an Internet-based business. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2. What is your "unique selling proposition"? Stated differently, what makes Water Fountains and Garden Decor "stand out" from the competition? |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In a word, we differentiate ourselves from the competition in the following way: we focus on decor for busy gardeners who want more out of life. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3. What is your Return Policy for broken or defective items? If an item reaches you in less than satisfactory condition, please contact us immediately and we will determine whether a credit or replacement is in order. In most cases, you will not be required to return the item and we will ship a replacement free of charge. You must contact Water Fountains and Garden Decor within 20 days of receipt of merchandise so that we can process your return in a timely manner with our distributor. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4. What is your Return Policy for non-broken, non-defective items? Returns for non-defective, non-broken items must be made within 20 days of the receipt of the items. There will be a 25% restocking fee on all non-defective, non-broken items. Please note that the original shipping charges will not be refunded on non-defective/non-broken returns. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| When you return the item(s) back to our distributor, you will also be responsible for shipping charges for sending the item(s) back to our distributor. Please be prompt in sending your items back to our distributor because we cannot issue a credit on your credit card until our distributor receives your returned items. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Merchandise must be returned in its original inner and outer packing and must be in resalable condition. The merchandise, merchandise outer packaging, and the inner packing must bear no unnecessary markings or be otherwise defaced or damaged. No credit will be given for items that do not meet these requirements. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Returns will not be accepted after 20 days due to the fact that we have to process your return with our distributor. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Please contact Customer Service (at customerservice@water-fountains-and-garden-decor.com ) (or call us at 440-232-9064) for a return authorization before returning your merchandise. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 6. What is your shipping policy? Due to the restrictions placed on us by our distributor, we only ship to the USA (including Alaska and Hawaii) and Puerto Rico. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 8. How much does shipping cost? |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| UPS Ground Shipping: Continental U.S. excluding PO Boxes. We provide free shipping via UPS Ground on all orders of $50.00 or more for deliveries made within the continental U.S. (excluding PO Boxes). Shipping on all orders under $50.00 is $7.50---this applies only to deliveries made within the continental U.S. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Shipping to PO Boxes. Due to the risk of credit card fraud associated with orders placed by individuals with PO Boxes, we are not accepting orders from individuals who reside at PO Box addresses. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| DHL RUSH: DHL Rush orders cost an additional $20.00 if your total order is from $1.00 to $90.00 and approximately 25% of the total order after $90.00. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| AirMail (Only Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico): A flat rate of $25.00 will be added to each AirMail order shipped to Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 10. How long does shipping take? |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| For UPS ground, please allow 8-10 business days For DHL RUSH, please allow up to 3 business days For AirMail, please allow up to two weeks |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 11. Are shipments insured? Yes, all shipments are automatically insured at no extra cost to you. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 12. Where do you have information on your web site about backorders? Backorders occur when the distributor is out of certain items or when there are too few items available for ordering. We made a conscious decision to avoid listing any items that are on "backorder status" on our section pages. That is, no backorders will be found when you click on any of the navigation buttons located at the top left of every page. We did this to avoid the frustration that results when customers decide to purchase an item, only to find out that it is on backorder. If, however, you are intent on finding out what items are currently on backorder, you can access this information directly by clicking here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 13. When can I expect the back-ordered items to become "orderable" on your website? Our distributor works hard to maintain a 95% in-stock rating (which is one of the highest in the industry). Our distributor will notify us immediately when an out-of-stock item becomes available. We will then make this item "orderable" within two business days. If you have emailed us about a particular out-of-stock item, we will email you as soon as the item becomes back "in-stock" and orderable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 14. How do I get a tracking number for my order? You can email us at customerservice@water-fountains-and-garden-decor.com for a UPS tracking number--but please wait to email us at least 48 hours after placing your order. The UPS tracking number will not be available until then. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 15. Can I order by mail, fax, or phone? No. At this time, only Internet orders are taken. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 16. Is my credit information safe if I order online? Yes. When you place an order with us, your order is processed on a secure, encrypted Yahoo server. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 17. Why do you need my email address? We need your email address to send you an Order Confirmation. Also, having your email address will assist us in contacting you in case we have a problem with your order. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 18. What business name will be billed to my credit card? Integrity Business Systems and Solutions is the parent company for Water Fountains and Garden Decor. Integrity Business Systems and Solutions will be the name reflected on your credit card statement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 19. Do you have catalogs? No. Due to the fact that our website is updated almost every day and due also to the high cost of printing new catalogs every time new items are added to our website, we decided against offering catalogs. However, our sales team is eager to assist you with your needs, so feel free to contact us. Our suggestion is to bookmark our website for future item additions and for your shopping convenience. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 20. When will you update your web site with new arrivals? New arrivals will be added each month starting in April 2004 and will be listed in the "New Arrivals" section on the navigation bar. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 21. What is your physical address and how can we contact you? |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 22. What are your products made of? |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Alabastrite |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Alabastrite is our product line name for polyresin items. Alabastrite is a stone-based material which can be intricately molded producing great detail, and will allow paint to adhere. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Bone China |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Bone China is white clay with bone ash added. The bone ash content must be at least 25% by U. S. guidelines. Bone China is fired at 1,800 degrees. The translucent material is finished with a glaze or underglaze (matte) and is lighter, stronger, and more expensive than porcelain. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Dolomite |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Dolomite is a magnesia-rich, sedimentary rock resembling limestone. Dolomite is either gray, pink or white in color. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Metal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Various types of metal are used, including tin, brass, etc. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Patchwork Items |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| To form patchwork items, a unique fabric or paper prints are applied to the surface of porcelain, dolomite or polyresin items. After application, 12 layers of lacquer are added and the item is hand polished to a high gloss between each layer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Porcelain |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Porcelain is made from fine ground white clay, molded and fired in an oven for eight hours at 1200 degrees, and finished with a glazed, underglazed, or "bisque" finish. Whereas "glazing" produces a high gloss finish, "underglaze" produces a matte finish. Bisque is a matte finish without glaze. After finishing, the item is "cooked" for six hours at 800 degrees. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Stoneware |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Stoneware is made from white clay with fine ground stone. Working with stoneware demands great expertise, and is in fact becoming a lost art. Stoneware is safe to use in microwave and conventional ovens. |
