General
You can print the Project Plans Order
Form and/or the Kits & Parts
Order Form provided and fill them out. If your printer
is not working, or if you don't have a printer, you may generate
a written note of the items you are ordering but please PRINT
LEGIBLY so someone other than you
can read it. A sloppy "5" can be taken for an
"S", an "a" for an "o", etc. this
has happened and caused me a ton of grief!
There is no reason to cut the order forms up. Five sheets of 20
lb. 8-1/2" x 11" printer/copy paper in a standard 10"
business envelope will only weigh 1 ounce and will mail in the
USA with the minimum rate postage stamp.
All orders are sent by United States Postal Service to anyplace
on earth. I mail plans sets in a manila catalog envelope so they
don't have to be rolled or folded. Most material items must be
mailed in a carton. Orders are usually sent out the next business
day (except if I am away to a show). Orders for both plans and
material items will probably get separated in the mail and could
arrive a few days apart. I am not responsible for orders
lost in the postal system. Not a single US, Canadian or overseas
order out of thousands sent have been lost since early 2002.
Although VERY unlikely, it is possible that it could happen.
Due to past problems with Purchase Orders, all orders must be
prepaid.
My request for your e-mail address on the
order forms is strictly for my use ONLY in the event
I need to contact you about a problem with your order. I do not
sell them or give them away or use them for any other purpose.
Actually, I don't even bother looking at them if the order can
be filled promptly with no problems - which is the case more than
99% of the time.
Orders From The USA
I am not set up to receive payment via credit card, other
forms of plastic or E-payments. For security reasons I don't divulge
my bank account information for direct deposit. I accept checks,
money orders, travelers checks or the ever popular US Currency.
If you do that, be sure to wrap it up in such a way that postal
workers won't know there is cash in the envelope. This has proven
to be safe. Make checks, money orders, etc. payable to: Jerry E. Howell.
Postage & Handling in the USA is $2.00
for any PLANS order no matter how large or small.
Postage & Handling in the USA is $2.00
for any KITS or PARTS order no matter how large or small.
Postage & Handling in the USA is $4.00
for any PLANS and Kits or PARTS order
no matter how large or small.
(In most cases, it costs me more than the above amounts for postage).
NOTICE - If the
USA Postage & Handling fee is
not included, the order can not be sent. Sorry,
no exceptions........
All plans sets are sent in manila envelopes so as not to be rolled
or folded.
Thank you for your order!
Orders From Outside The USA
Due to variations in postage costs to different countries,
send me an e-mail listing the items you want to order - my e-mail address is at the bottom of the home
page. I will return an e-mail to you with the exact additional
amount to add for air postage. Overseas postage cost is actually
very reasonable. An example is the "Vickie" Victorian
Stirling Engine plans set of 16 sheets to anywhere in the world
cost only US $3.60 additional for air postage. Postage to Canada
would be US $2.00.
Payment must be in US Dollars
and payable to: Jerry E. Howell.
I can accept any of the following: International
Money Order, Bank Check, Bank or Postal Money Order, Travelers Check, these must have the 9
digit routing & transit number and be payable through a US
bank, the name of which MUST BE IMPRINTED
on the front of the instrument. You should be able to get one
of the above at your bank or post office in any country. Sometimes
banks charge outrageous fees for these, so another alternative
is to wire the money via Western Union or
MoneyGram. The least costly payment method is to send U.S. Dollar Currency. If you do that be
sure to wrap it in paper or foil so that postal workers won't
be able to determine there is cash in the envelope. Many customers
do this and although there is a small risk, it has always proven
to be entirely safe.
Sorry, I do not give out my bank account number, etc. I can't
accept credit cards and I don't use PayPal at this time.
IMPORTANT - Include the completed
Order Form(s) with your order or a note indicating what you want.
Ignore the USA $2.00 P&H. It would be wise for you to include
your legible return address on your order envelope in case of
damage to my address information so they at least can return it
to you. This is normal standard practice in most countries.
Thank you for your order!
Delivery Time In USA
Except for the few times each year that I am away to a show,
I get the orders out the next business day. If I am away to a
show when your order comes, there could be a delay of up to 9
days between the time it arrives and I get back home. In the US,
it may take 5 or 6 days for your order to get to me if you are
from the eastern US area and that much time again plus a day for
your order to arrive to you. On the other hand, I know of one
order that went to Minnesota from Colorado in just one day!
Delivery Time Overseas
It seems to take on average about 5 days from western Europe
and around 7 days or so from the Pacific Rim countries for me
to get the order. The same factors apply as above (Delivery Time
In USA) for order processing. I send all outside the USA orders
out by air mail. I am required to attach a completed customs form
to all parts or kit order cartons for delivery outside the USA.
Sometimes these orders can be delayed several days or more in
clearing the destination Customs. This does not apply to plans
sets as they do not need customs forms.
Thank you for your order!
