Ordering
How To Order
We currently have two methods of ordering. The fastest and easiest
way is to use is the automated order form and fill in all the relevant information.
(since things are just starting, and the automated form
isn't up yet set up yet, please send e-mail orders to; Orders@StumblinStyle.com)
As soon as you place an order for a specific cane, we
will put that cane aside, on hold for you until a payment arrives.
Minimum Order
We have a minimum order of $50 US. We aren't some massive retail outfit, so our
efficiency is attained by a minimum order size. Usually you will be able to find
enough to satisfy this requirement. If you desperately need something special like a
couple of feet, or an ice spike, please contract us. We'll
probably do it anyways, on an exception basis.
How To Pay
- Paper Check via Snail Mail
Place your order on the website, and we put it in the queue as soon as
received. If you order something special, you have first dibs. Then send your
bank, money-order, or personal check to the address below. (see Where To Pay)
- Paypal
There is a on-line system called PayPal which will accept on-line
payments. Paypal payments clear immediately, so shipping is usually same or next
day. This is a typical system used by on-line small businesses, and frequently on
larger auction sites such as EBay.
- Credit Cards Direct
We are not currently set up to directly accept credit cards. As a
start-up business, lots of the doors are firmly closed to us. And to be honest, the
fees and per transaction charges are enough to drive the cost of merchandise
up. Be patient, it's just a start-up thing, when we achieve world domination
we promise to take credit cards .

Security and Privacy Concerns
We don't have a secure SSL server set up at this
time. It's easy to do, but the fees, in addition to credit card processing
costs, make it unreasonable.
- Financial Data Security
- With the PayPal system, your personal financial data is never
transmitted to Stumblintyle; only the fact that payment has been made.
-
- Privacy of Personal Data
- The data which you provide is maintained solely for StumblingStyle
order processing and accounting purposes. We will not
sell, rent, or gratuitously share your name with any other business.
-
- StumblinStyle E-Mail
- We won't send you advertising on upcoming products or sales unless
you tell us so via the Order or Information Request forms.

Shipping
Quite simply, Shipping
is Free! To be honest, it's just easier to
just factor it in up front, and it's fairly predictable. We Air ship via FedEx and
Airborne. We don't ground ship for the occasionally slightly lower costs. We
typically send 2- day Air or 3 Day Saver Air. for fast delivery at a good price. We
won't ship via UPS because they refuse to pickup orders, delay deliveries, and quite
frankly, lose things too often. The very last thing you want to happen to that
special, one-of-a-kind cane.
Please Note: We have a minimum order of $50
Taxes
We don't pay taxes anywhere in the United States.
We'll sell anywhere else on the planet where we don't have to pay taxes and file
all sorts of messy, time-consuming paperwork. Contact us for details on
international shipments.
Volume Discounts, Dealers, etc.
Please Contact Us if you want to
place a volume order, want to purchase multiple canes for resale, make a group purchase,
or some other strange arrangement. We'll consider any possibilities
you care to suggest.
