Please note: As in many small towns, the post office here is closed from Friday afternoon until Monday morning and on all Federal Holidays. Even if you add the Express Shipping Charge, orders received after the Friday mail run and on the weekend will not normally ship until the following Monday. If you are placing an order on Friday afternoon, Saturday, Sunday, a Federal Holiday, or any day followed by a Federal Holiday, please accept that your order will probably not be shipped until the next day the local post office is open, even if it includes Express Charge. |
A Comment About Shipping ChargesMost online order processing systems, including PayPal, make calculating true shipping costs difficult (or impossible). That is why the old prices here "included shipping". These online order processing systems make "free shipping" included in inflated prices an attractive and easy option for most vendors. The coding required is easier and they make more money. Postal rates went up again on 05/14/07, which required adjustments to the prices. Prices that "include shipping" penalize customers who order multiple items. That would be compounded if prices were increased to cover rising shipping costs. So I decided to change to separate shipping charges. It took some work to implement and I might lose a little revenue on individual orders because of this, but I think it will be fairer to all customers, which should result in more orders and hopefully make up for any per order shortfall. At least I'll know that I'm trying to do the right thing for my customers. If you've visited this page in the past, you will notice that most of the prices have been reduced significantly. Honestly, the price for a single item with the shipping charge added is generally a little bit higher because of the increasing postal rates. However, for orders that include multiple items, the lower prices and separate shipping charges will normally result in a lower total cost than the old price structure. I think lower prices and lower total cost is a better deal than "free shipping". Hope you agree! |

The minimum order is $15 of materials and tools unless the "Small Order Charge" is added to the order (shipping charges are not included in the $15 minimum). Very few orders are received that total under $15, however experience indicates that those orders often require more time and effort to process than larger orders. The great prices offered here for small items don't cover the cost of processing, packaging and shipping orders for a few small items. If your order total is under $15, you might want to add more items to your order rather than paying the "Small Order Charge". Essentially, you could get items worth approximately the same amount as the "Small Order Charge" for free! However, I understand that some people may need one or two of the small items, but may not be interested in ordering additional items to cover a $15 minimum order. I have provided the option of adding the "Small Order Charge" so that small orders are allowed and I can justify the time and expense required to process them. If the items in your order total less than $15, you have two choices: 1) You can choose some other items you would like to add to your order to increase the total to $15. - OR - 2) You can add "Small Order Charge" at the right to cover the cost of processing, packing, and shipping a small order. Orders for under $15 that do not include the "Small Order Charge" will be canceled, a refund will be issued, and an email will be sent advising to resubmit the order. |

Return & Refund PolicyA refund will be issued for unused items returned undamaged. Refunds will be reduced by a restock fee of fifteen percent to cover fees and expenses for processing your order and return. Shipping charges are not refunded. No refund will be issued for items returned damaged. The items offered for sale are extremely durable and are well packed for shipment, so it is very unlikely that you will receive damaged items. In the rare case when items are damaged in shipment, they may be returned for replacement. No refund will be issued for replacement goods. Products that have been removed from original sealed packaging or have installation tool marks are considered used. No refund will be issued for these items. If you don't want to keep a punchdown tool after you finish your installation, consider renting instead of buying a new one. No refund will be issued for punchdown tools or blades. Printouts damaged in shipment will be replaced, but no refunds will be issued for printouts. Prior to returning an item for refund, send an email to HPWSupport at HomePhoneWiring.com, requesting a return authorization (RMA) number, indicating the item being returned and the reason for return. Emails should be addressed to hpwsupport(remove-this)@(spam-stop)homephonewiring.com. Sorry, you'll need to edit the email address to remove "(remove-this)" and "(spam-stop)". The volume of email the spam bots generate to a web posted address without this measure is outrageous. The RMA number will be sent back to you by email. Please clearly mark the RMA number on the outside of the package. No refund will be issued for items returned without an RMA number or not received within 15 days of the date an RMA number is issued. You are responsible for all return shipping charges. Return shipment should be sent to CEWIM LLC, PO BOX 282, BLANCO, TX 78606. It is recommended that you use Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation, to ensure return delivery time is less than 15 days and to permit delivery tracking. You are responsible for damage or loss of goods during return shipment. You may desire to insure your shipment to protect yourself against loss in the postal system. If you return the item without paying full shipping charges, your refund will be further reduced by any charges that must be paid for receiving the return shipment. After you mail the return shipment, please send an email with the Delivery Confirmation tracking number to Support at HomePhoneWiring.com advising that the shipment is enroute. A refund will only be issued when the return shipment is actually received and the items have been inspected. After the returned item has been inspected and verified as unused and undamaged, your refund will be issued via PayPal. If your order was placed without creating a PayPal account it may not be possible to issue your refund via PayPal, in which case your refund will be issued by check, payable to the same name used to place the order and sent to the same address as the order. |

The best way to contact me is by email. However, if you don't have access to your email account, you can leave me a voicemail by calling 614−675−2608 (my "eVoice" voicemail number). Be assured that I will respond to your message. I don't post a phone number that rings me direct because I fear it would generate so many calls asking for free advice with wiring projects that I might not be able to respond appropriately to paying customers or accomplish anything else. (I can cope with advice requests by email because I can respond when time allows, but I couldn't respond to a constant stream of phone calls from people calling to seek advice rather than taking time to read the info on the site.) When you give me your phone number, either by email or in a voicemail, it will only be available to me - nobody else will get your phone number from me. |

For orders that include cable, refer to the Express Shipping for Cable charges below.
The standard shipping charges automatically added cover shipping in the US by Priority Mail. To order with shipping by Express Mail, add an Express Shipping Charge to your order. The Non-Cable Express Charges shown at the right are valid for orders with shipping weight up to 6 pounds. The item listings each show the shipping weight. If adding these figures indicates that your order will exceed 6 pounds, please send an email to HPWSupport at HomePhoneWiring.com , providing a list of items you desire to order. You will be sent instructions for ordering with the correct shipping charges. The PayPal shopping cart is not capable of adjusting charges for different shipping methods, so the Express Shipping Charge is combined with the standard shipping charges to cover the cost of shipping by Express Mail. During checkout, the Express Charge will be shown as a separate order item and the standard shipping charges will be shown as "shipping". Express Mail delivery guarantees and delivery dates vary by location. Next day delivery by noon or by 3PM is available to many locations 365 days a year, including Sundays and holidays. However, some locations are second day delivery and some post offices do not make deliveries on weekends or holidays. Check with your local post office to obtain information about your Express Mail delivery schedule. You can also determine Express Mail Delivery Commitments by visiting USPS - Express Mail Service Commitments. Use 78606 as the Origin ZIP Code and refer to the response provided for Drop Off Address: POST OFFICE. 402 4TH ST, BLANCO, TX 78606. USPS normally obtains a signature for delivery of Express Mail. If you are not present to accept the delivery, a delivery attempt notice is left and delivery is delayed. If you will be present to accept delivery, for maximum security of your order, select Express Shipping Charge With Delivery Signature. If you will not be present to accept delivery and the shipment can be left in a secure location, select Express Shipping Charge Without Signature. Even if you are ordering multiple items, only add Express Charge once! | Express Charge Only Add One or the Other and Only Add Once With Delivery Signature $17.00 Without Delivery Signature $17.00 |

For orders that include cable, refer to the Shipping to Canada Charges for Cable below.
The prices shown are in US Dollars and the shopping cart adds charges for shipping by Priority Mail within the United States. I appreciate my Canadian customers, but must charge for the additional costs incurred when shipping to Canada. You have the option of selecting shipping via Priority Mail International (6-10 days estimated delivery), Express Mail International (3-5 days estimated delivery), or Global Express Guaranteed (1-3 days delivery). The Shipping to Canada Charges are approximately the difference between the shipping automatically added and the cost of shipping to Canada via the selected service. To order with shipping to Canada, select the desired Shipping to Canada Charge at the right or below. For non-cable orders, even if you are ordering multiple items, only add Shipping to Canada Charge once! If your order includes non-cable items and less than 1000 ft of cable, only include the desired Cable Shipping to Canada Charge. If your order includes l000 ft of cable and non-cable items, the cable will be shipped in a separate box. Include both the Non-Cable Shipping to Canada Charge and the Shipping to Canada Charge for 1000 of cable. The Non-Cable Shipping to Canada Charges shown at the right are valid for orders with shipping weight up to 5 pounds (15 pound for Priority Mail International). The item listings each show the shipping weight. If adding these figures indicates that your order will exceed 5 pounds (15 pound for Priority Mail International), please send an email to HPWSupport at HomePhoneWiring.com , providing a list of items you desire to order. You will be sent instructions for ordering with the correct shipping charges. Please make sure to include a phone number in your order, because a phone number is required when creating the customs portion of the shipping label. Keep in mind that you will be responsible for any GST/HST, duties, and Canadian Post Office handling fees imposed on your shipment. My understanding is that for USPS Global Express Mail shipments, the Canadian Post Office normally collects GST/HST and a handling fee and that no duties are normally imposed on the type items offered here. If you experience something different than that, please let me know. | Shipping to Canada Charges Priority Mail International $14.00 Express Mail International $20.00 Global Express Guaranteed $40.00 |
