1) Call us at
1-864-223-3700 or 1-866-4-926-926
toll free, or email me your phone number and a best time to call
back.
We have several lines that receive your calls. If you get
the message center, we are all helping other people. If leaving
a message, it helps to repeat your phone number twice. If we
know what the message is about, we can often be ready to go when
we call back.
2) Mail your
orders to:
Cultured Cowboy
3003 County Farm Rd
Greenwood, SC 29646
Have the basic info we
need. Your Name, Address, Phone, What you need, with size &
color. Email if you have one. Check enclosed. Here, at the
bottom of this page, is a sheet you can print off if
needed. See Shipping info Below.
3) Sometimes our phone lines are very busy. Sometimes,
you just want to go ahead and order something now, while it is
on your mind, and we might not be open because it's midnight in
SC, although daylight in Hawaii.
Many shopping
carts are little more than a form that is automatically emailed
to the company. Many shopping cart programs, that are
affordable to small business, do not let you easily find your
page through a search engine, like Google or Yahoo. All the
clutter that makes the cart work blocks some of those searches.
If you want to come back to a Cultured Cowboy page, just
bookmark it or add it as a favorite until you finish with
it.
You can email orders safely by using two emails. This is a good method
that a European customer taught us. Give us your shipping
address and billing address, as well as the items and
quantities. Be sure a phone number is included for any delivery
problems. Split the payment information using this format of
alternating blocks of numbers 4321 ---- 1234 ---- 123 (3
digit code on back). Expires month of ------ .
Then in the second email, use ---- 1234 ---- 1234.
Expires ----
(year). Emails
are delivered in packet form and no one can possibly intercept
and put both together, all packets from both emails to complete
the info, except the intended receiver. A neat idea, very
safe, and it
works whether or not your computer connection is
"secure".
Example:
If you had
a card with this number and expiration: 4301 6500 2006 1234
Expires 12/31/2011 and the three digit code (last three numbers)
on the back of the card just above your name is 345 ,
Send
1st email with the first and third sets of credit card numbers,
and the three digit code on the rear of the card. Separate with
X's. Example: 4301 xxxx 2006 xxxx 345 Expires
month of 12.
Send
a 2nd email with the second and fourth set of numbers, and the
expiration date. Separate with X's. Example:
xxxx 6500 xxxx 1234. Expires year of 2011
This
insures the security of your card, even if there is no indicator
of a security lock showing on your computer...because all email
is traveling in many separate packets. No one can intercept
two randomly and get your two, to put them together, except the
intended receiver, There are too many emails, all traveling in
many packets, all over the place, and they re-establish
themselves by ever narrowing MAC addresses of the intended
recipient.
4) PayPal:
Payments can be made through using PayPal to: cowboy@culturedcowboy.com.
Notify us if PayPal is used on the form below.
Thanks and
God Bless. Chuck
PS: Yes, you
can email an order and keep shopping. If we get several emails
from you, we will try to get them all together for best shipping
rates to you. Also, many of our repeat customers just refer us
to reuse the credit card of their last purchase. Although this
information is not available to everyone working here,
accounting uses a separate network so it can track old sales and
retrieve, if YOU want us to.
HOW MUCH IS
SHIPPING?
Cultured Cowboy
does not tie the amount you spend with a dollar amount of
shipping. This is commonly done with shopping carts, because it
is almost the only way to do it without spending millions on
integrated software and hardware systems. When you ask for
Shipping and Handling charges, we try to get really close for
you, often checking a couple carriers. We do not like companies
that charge crazy prices for shipping and handling either. That
ruins trust. Most of our products have steep discounts so that
even with S&H, you get real savings too.
Please,
we need a complete address to figure the shipping. The right way
for you, is not
to tie it to $ spent, but to actual weight, and measurement of
the package. Then, to which address delivery zone? Using Fed X, UPS and
several other shippers, a residence, or home business cost more
than a business district delivery. Priority Mail does not
distinguish residential costs from business districts as much as
UPS.
Most
times, we try to ship your orders complete. Sometimes, products
may come from different warehouses. Sometimes we can drop ship
from a maker. We try to do what is best for you.
Often,
the size of the box makes a delivery of one product cost more
than another. For example, a $900.00 flex-lite saddle is shipped
in a box that is probably 32 X 20 X 20. A $900.00 ring is
probably in a box that is 9.5 X 7.5 X 2.5. Sometimes insurance is
almost nothing. Sometimes it does add a few dollars.
Good
thing is, when you have a return to us, we give a low risk
business district location, so the return cost is at lowest
possible cost to you. And someone is always there during
delivery times, so the item is received properly.
Our return
address is:
Cultured Cowboy
1521 Bypass 72 NE
Greenwood, SC 29649-2214
We
want to give you the best right prices! Your invoices will
have all S&H details you need to keep your accounts in
order. And we can give a pretty close estimate before the fact
too. Thanks and God
Bless, Chuck
Common Shipping and Handling
charges:
A belt, or two, not too fancy with lots of metal. $6.00 to $7.00
Heavy metal belt or two. $6.49 to $7.89.
Box with 3 shirts. $8.89 to $11.89
Small Hat in box. $8.89 to $12.89
4 in brim hat in hat box, $9.89 to $23.89.
Kids boots about $8.89 average.
Adult boots 13 inch top. $14.00 average.

Saddle box 28x20x20. $35.00 close to SC, $60.00
middle of the USA, up toward $90.00 on the back side of a
mountain in Oregon.
Easy way for you to estimate shipping: Use our address above for
shipper address. Use your address for delivery address. Go to www.usps.com
(postal priority mail with delivery confirmation and insurance
to the amount of the product, or www.ups.com
with the options you need. (UPS insurance is needed on all
orders over $100.00. 1st $100.00 is included.) estimate
size of box and weight. The larger the box, the more a system of
size of box affects the shipping more than the weight.
If you make a
mistake on shipping, we will credit you back, toward your next
purchase, send back money with the item if you really guess
high, or call you for the difference if you really guess low.
Life is easy!
WHAT ABOUT DELIVERY TIMES? AND CONFIRMATION
NUMBERS?
In
1996, we began using Your Last Name, Your First Name, then the
Product Name as a confirmation code. It works. If you call to
check on a shipment, we will ask for your name and the item.
Those long numbers are hard to keep in memory. Example:
SmithMaryNoconaBelt
We
have a real store. We carry a lot of inventory. More than most.
But, one of the great things about the Internet is that we can
put entire catalogs from manufacturers online. You can see it
all, then order what you like. Most internet sites carry the top
5 or 10 products only. True, many people like the same things,
but isn't it great to see it all? We cannot possibly carry
everything in every size at all times. So we use our store, our
warehousing, and warehousing from distributors and vendors to
keep things moving out as fast as is possible.
If
we have an item in stock, normal delivery is three days to a
week. If it comes from a distributor or manufacturer, it takes
another half day to a week to get through their paper trail.
Sometimes we may have part of the order and hold it a few days
to get it all for you. Sometimes, it is on a production schedule
by the maker, and we call you back, or email approximate
delivery time based on their expectations. If there will be a
long delay, we like to ship what we have and then ship the
balance when it is ready.
Custom
made items, and custom sizes can take longer. Some wedding
dresses, and made-for-you saddles or show blankets come to mind!
So we keep a lot of these items ready to go. But some days, we
can sell out in a day. Ely shirts are basic Western and usually
available, but Cumberland styles go fast. Order group shirts as
soon as possible.
Christmas
ordering is best begun in August through November, though we
usually have enough stock to ship out on Christmas week
too.
We
believe in paying our suppliers as we go. They use our credit
card, just as we use yours. We found this saves accounting time,
and thus shortens your delivery times. It keeps us in good cash
position for you. And sometimes, not always, cash gets product
to us when someone else owes a supplier a lot of
money.
To
keep cash flow moving, on items that will take a while to get,
like a saddle, or wedding dress, we can bill a down payment at
the time of order, and the balance when it is ready to ship. On
items that are ready to ship soon, we usually bill as soon as we
get it all together.
We
can work out long distance layaway plans for you too. Some
ladies need a little time to pay for the wedding dress of their
dreams, and even if we have it in stock, we can work with you on
payments. In fact, anything in the store can be placed on
Layaway. Layaway has been a part of our business for over 32
years.
Late
Deliveries: We do everything humanly possible to get all
gifts to you in a timely manner. We understand the rush involved
in busted rodeo equipment, or times when you just found our site
a few days before you need the item. If we can get it, we will.
If we cannot, we will try to refer you to another store who
might be able to get it in time. As soon as we find a delay from
a maker, we will inform you. If we can't get you on the phone,
an email address is real handy!
Any
time you need to use it - We have a gift certificate on the
front page of our site. You can print it, then print a picture
of the item, and give these while the actual article is being
delivered.
Happiest New Year and may the joy of God's
love bless you and your family this day and everyday,
Cultured Cowboy
