~Our Online Order Form~

Our Secure Order Form has worked well for us and for our customers. Think of it as a system similar to mail order catalogues where you enter the number and descriptions of the item(s) you wish to purchase. A link to the Order Form can be found in the upper left corner (Navigation Buttons) of each page. The order form opens in a new window so you can easily switch back and forth from other pages on this site to the order form. You simply cut and paste the item number from the items' pages to our Online Order Form.

Items numbers can be found on the bottom right of an item's individual description page.

Some item description pages will have more then one item. In this case, the item number is located under the picture and description of each individual item.

Item numbers are also located on the Puzzles by Price page.

It is possible to make a note of item numbers and descriptions and enter them on our Order Form manually, however  cutting and pasting to our Order Form ensures accuracy. In order to save time, please check to see if the items you want are in stock prior to placing your order. The stock status of every item offered at this web site is shown in the item information block, to the far right of the item number. The stock status is also displayed on the Puzzles by Price page. Items In Stock and ready to ship will be marked in Blue. Items Sold Out or otherwise unavailable will be marked in Red. Items in transit or available for pending order will be marked in Green

Paste in the items you want to buy, fill in the rest of the form and send it to us. That’s all there is to it! Our Secure Order Form provides a safe, convenient, easy way for you to place an order 24 hours a day. Your Cleverwood Order is encrypted and transmitted to us using  Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. Live human beings process all orders personally. We’ll contact you if anything about your order is unclear.

Where's The Shopping Cart??  That's perhaps our most frequently asked FAQ!  Customer service is vitally important to us, and that includes the respectful, secure use of your private information.  Affordable hosted shopping cart systems require that the customer's personal and financial information be administered by a third party. This is unacceptable to us and to our customers. The best shopping cart systems available today require a serious investment in computer hardware and software currently beyond our abilities. We would have to have our own server. In a survey, we asked how important a shopping cart system was to our customers.  You, our customers, stated that a shopping cart would be a good thing for us to have, but that it was not very important. We prefer to keep costs down and security high!

Other Ways to Order and Pay
At Cleverwood we guarantee that you can safely send us your credit card number via our secure (SSL) order form without worry.

International Orders

We welcome your international order! We serve customers in 65 countries around the world, but we can no longer ship packages to India, Indonesia, Israel, Mexico, or The Philippines  - sorry :-(  No exceptions!
Due to difficulties with the receiving postal service, we will ship to Singapore and Italy only via UPS.
•Your bankcards are welcome for payment of international orders. (US Dollar bank checks and International Postal Money Orders are also accepted as long as the applicable shipping charges are included. Contact us before you send a check.) 
•Packages will be shipped via the US Postal Service using “Priority Mail International” rates. These packages usually arrive within 6 – 10 days.
•We will determine the shipping cost for your package when you place your order, or you can estimate it yourself by using the United States Postal Service International Calculator for Packages. You can estimate the weight of your order by adding the weights for the items you order.  Then add at least 12 ounces for the shipping box and packing material.
•We will tell you what the shipping charges will be for your order, before processing your order, if you select “Yes” for “Confirm Shipping Charges” on the Order Form. We will send you an email message and wait for you to reply before processing your order.
•You are responsible for any applicable customs duty, VAT, or other taxes charged by your country. We charge no taxes of any kind on international orders. All packages will be declared and insured for the full retail value unless you request otherwise. If you tell us that your order is a gift, we will check the “Gift” box on our customs declaration.
•Your bankcard will be charged in US dollars for the amount of your merchandise total plus the actual shipping charges plus $6.25 to cover the cost of packaging and export handling, less $6.25 if your order is $95.00 or more.

• Orders of $249 - $498 receive a 50% discount on regular (not EMS) Air Shipping and Handling

Because Parcelforce delivery has proven to be a problem in the UK - UPS International service is now available - but it costs about 3 times that of US Postal Service International Service - Sorry :-(  Please inquire if interested.
We can not be responsible for Parcelforce’s inadequate service or late delivery.

We welcome your suggestions about international ordering. What else can we do to make it easier for you to order?

Shipping to a Third Party

Cleverwood puzzles and jewelry boxes make wonderful gifts. We will be glad to ship your purchase directly to a third party. You may include a card or message with your order that we will include with your gift. So that the package is not refused, your name will be shown as the sender on the outside of the package (no exceptions). If your order is a split shipment—some items to you and some items to a third party—please include clear instructions. You will be charged shipping & handling for each package.

Shipping to Your Work Address

We don’t recommend it. In almost every case, when a package goes missing, it was sent to a hospital, school, or big corporation. Our packages seem to get “lost” in the mail room. If you insist that we send your package to a non-residential address we will do so, but be aware that we will not be responsible in any way if your package fails to arrive. Be aware that we can’t “trace” the package unless you opt for Express mail, UPS, or Global Express Mail.
Avoid stress and disappointment - use your home address, or upgrade to UPS service.

Sales Taxes
We do not charge any of our customers sales taxes. Applicable State of Colorado sales taxes are paid by Cleverwood.

Your Cleverwood Order is encrypted and transmitted to us using a Secure Socket Layer (SSL). wpe2.jpg (1170 bytes)

The Cleverwood web site is is protected by a VeriSign Digital Certificate. This ensures that the Cleverwood Online Order Forms and other personal information you send to us from the web site via the World Wide Web will be encrypted. If any other Internet user intercepts the communication he/she will only be able to see it in an encrypted (garbled) form. Certificate technology allows us to decrypt the information, and view it in plain text form. After your encrypted order is received at our web host’s server, it is encrypted a second time and then sent to us via satellite. Your order is finally decrypted by a program running on our order PC.

Our customer database is not on line. We do not collect “cookies.” We do not compile “visitor profiles.” We do not do targeted advertising. We have no “banner advertisements” that forward your information to anyone. We do not have a shopping cart system administered by another company (that’s one way credit card numbers get stolen, and customer information gets sold). We don’t track your movements on this site or on the web. We don’t generate pop-up ad’s.
Once your Cleverwood order has been shipped you will not be contacted by us again unless you’ve joined our mailing list.
