PRIVACY POLICY
The Crystalfontz Privacy Policy is very simple - we never sell, rent, or give your information to anyone.

Your email address is required so we can send you your order confirmation and tracking information once your order ships. Please be aware that without the phone or email address information, we may be unable to contact you regarding your order, thus causing a delay in processing or shipping of your order.

Orders placed Friday after this time and over the weekend will ship on the following Monday. We are shipping from Washington State, USA.

If you require Saturday delivery, please make a note in the "Special Instructions" field on the checkout page. There is a $10.00 additional charge for Saturday delivery.

    Package or COD refusal by the customer will mandate that FedEx ship the package back to us. This will incur additional ship charges that you will be charged for.

  • ADDRESS ACCURACY
    Please enter your shipping information carefully -- addressing errors incur a $10.00 additional charge from FedEx if they are the fault of customer input. If we make the addressing error, we pay this fee.

    A confirmation email will be sent in the afternoon or evening of the day your order ships. The tracking number will be included in the order summary. Please contact us immediately if you see an error in your shipping information.

    All packages are shipped requiring a signature on delivery. You may contact FedEx directly at 1-800-GO-FED-EX or www.fedex.com to get a signature waiver for delivery without signature.

    Please be advised that a signature waiver may void all insurance on the package should the package not make it to the final recipient (you) if left on a door step, porch, etc. In the case of a missing package with no signature required, neither FedEx or Crystalfontz will refund or re-ship the lost item(s).
