To Place an Order Online

Start from our homepage by going directly to http://www.cosanti.com (sometimes links from other websites and search engines do not give full functionality of our website.) Click a category from the column to the left to browse our catalog. Click on the item pictured or the "More info" button for a detailed description and larger picture. To select an item for purchase, click the corresponding ''Add to cart'' button. Continue adding items and updating them until you are done. You can get back to the shopping cart by clicking on the link at the bottom of the screen labeled "CHECK CART" at any time.

Is it safe to use my credit card?
Absolutely. We have taken every precaution to make your transactions secure. Our internet site is built on the MerchandiZer (tm) system which utilizes industry-standard security measures, including SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption. All account information submitted to us is safely isolated from unauthorized internet access.

Alternatively, if you prefer, we also offer you the option of printing your order so that you can either mail, fax, or call-in your order. Just follow through with the order process online using our website, but when you select a payment option, instead of choosing a credit card, select "Check by Mail" to print the order page using your printer -- then you can mail, fax, or call-in your order.

How can I pay for my order?
We accept Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. We also accept checks and money orders for purchases submitted by mail (see above). Purchases paid by check will usually not be processed until the funds have been verified. If you are sending a check, please make the check payable to: Cosanti Originals, Inc.

Do I have to pay sales tax?
Sales tax will apply to residents of Arizona or packages that will ship to Arizona. (If either the billing or shipping address is in Arizona, then Arizona sales tax applies.) All other US states and the rest of the world are exempt.

How much will my shipping charges be?
During the order process, you will be given a list of different shipping methods from which you can pick the one that suits you. The shipping charges (freight & handling/packing charges) will then be quoted on the next screen; you can use your browser's BACK button to reselect a different shipping service option. If you chose a UPS shipping method, then your shipping charges (freight & handling/packing charges) will be shown (otherwise you will be contacted prior to shipping as to what these additional applied charges will be). Shipping charges will apply to all orders even when such charges do not appear on your order form since the website does not calculate shipping charges for accessories. Except when ordering accessories, the shipping charges are estimated based on the estimated shipping weight(s) of the item(s) and the shipping zip code. In addition, shipping cost for ceramic items may be greater due to dimensional freight charges that are not automatically computed by UPS online. Your actual shipping charges will rarely exceed the price you have been quoted, but if they substantially exceed the estimate, you will be contacted before we proceed with your order.

Orders with international destinations may be shipped via one of several possible carriers depending on your needs and our preferences. Shipping charges will not be automatically computed on your order; however, you will be contacted as to the amount of those additionally applied charges prior to shipping.

How do I track my order?
Click on the link at the bottom of the screen labeled "Your Orders & Pending Shipments" and you will be able to view all your previous orders and track your pending shipments.

Can I have my order left at the recipient's doorstep without a signature?
No. To request that of the freight company (UPS) will waive their liability. They will often leave packages without signatures at doorsteps at their own discretion, and that is fine because that does not waive their liability if it is at their own doing. If this is a concern, we suggest you ship to an address where you know someone can sign for the package.

What if I need to return my order?
You may return an item in its original condition for a refund or credit within 30 days of receiving. Shipping charges can only be refunded if the return is due to our error. All returns must be accompanied by the cash register receipt. After a return has been received, it will take 1-2 weeks to process. If using a credit card, refunds will be credited to your account. If paying by check or money order, a refund check will be mailed to you. We suggest using UPS or insured Parcel Post for your protection.

What if you don't have all of the items in stock?
If an item you ordered is out of stock, it will be back-ordered automatically if item comes into stock within a week; otherwise, you will be contacted. For international orders, we will contact you to confirm the balance of your order.

Have questions we didn't answer?
If you have additional questions, please call our Customer Service Department at 1-800-752-3187, 9AM-5PM Monday-Friday Arizona time (if calling locally: 480-948-6145). Also, we want to hear your thoughts and suggestions on how we can make our site more helpful for you.
