For many years I have taken orders only by mail with payment by check only. I have decided now to include the option of paying by credit card. In order to keep costs (and prices) down, I am working with PayPal, as it is the easiest and least expensive way to set this up. Even if you do not already have a PayPal account, you can still pay through PayPal. You have an option during the process of entering credit card information to set up a PayPal account. This is optional. Either way you do it requires no more information than you would normally give on any other shopping cart system. PayPal is as safe as, if not safer than, any other system out there, using the highest form of encryption (128 bit, whatever that means) so you needn't be concerned in regards to security. PayPal also has a very strict privacy code, which you can read on their website. PayPal has proved to be generally trouble-free. However, they are part of eBay, a huge company, and if you have a problem they can be very slow to communicate with. (Up to 2 days by email.) My advice is if at any time you have trouble during the shopping, cancel the whole order and try again. (Or send the order by mail.) Since, PayPal controls the shopping cart, I cannot troubleshoot any shopping problems myself.
If you do not want to deal with PayPal at this time, I hope you would still wish to order by downloading the orderform (menu at bottom of any page) and sending it in with a check payment. Orders will not be delayed by this method of payment other than transit time of the mail.
CANADIAN AND OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS Until I can figure out how to change shipping options for you, you cannot order through the PayPal system. So, if you see this caveat, it means I'm still working on it (or have forgotten about it). Please bear with me. The shipping cost for Canada is $10 minimum or 12% of total whichever is greater. Other countries, please contact me with your order first so exact shipping cost can be determined. Send in your order by mail with a check made out in US dollars.
