Why choose wooden toys?
Wooden toys are naturally beautiful, durable, practical and environmentally responsible! Children love the smooth textures, the smells, and the satisfying weight of wooden toys. Even tasting is allowed! High quality wooden toys and puzzles can be durable enough to withstand years of use and may be passed down to your children's children. If a wooden toy breaks, it can generally be repaired, unlike most plastics. And in the end, if a wooden toy is no longer useful or is broken beyond repair (if it's chewed up by the family dog, for example), Mother Nature can work her magic and take it back!

What about lead paint? Should I be worried?
None of the products that we carry were involved in the recent lead-paint safety recalls. If you are concerned about toys made in China, click here to learn more and read letters from our manufacturers.

I'm shopping for a school or daycare. Do you offer a discount?
Yes. To show our appreciation for those who work hard every day to help our kids to grow and learn, any Fine Wooden Toys purchase for a school, daycare or other educational institution is eligible for a 5% discount. Registering for the discount is easy, just do the following during checkout: Enter the name of your institution in the space provided for "Company", and type the coupon code CARING4KIDS in the space provided. The discount will be applied to your total prior to final checkout.

What if the item I want is sold out?
We try very hard to insure that all items available for purchase through the website are in stock and ready to ship. In the rare instance that a purchased item is out of stock, the customer will be contacted within 24 hours and given the opportunity to cancel the order and receive a refund, or to back-order the item and have it shipped to them once it is back in stock. We do not otherwise take back-orders of sold out items, unless there is a special note in the item description. If you are interested in an item that is marked "Sold Out", feel free to email us for information about when it will be available again.

Can I get other Spiel & Holz products that are not shown on your website?
Yes! Spiel & Holz Design has so many wonderful and amazing products that, although we are always adding new ones to our inventory, we are just not able to stock them all. If you are interested in a Spiel & Holz product that we do not have, we would be happy to get it for you by special order. Simply contact us with the name and description of the item, and we'll provide a price quote. Special orders from Germany can take anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks from ordering to delivery.

Can I get a catalog?
Unfortunately we do not currently have a professionally printed catalog. We do have a simple printable price list available for download, just click here. Availability and prices listed in the Price Lists are not guaranteed since they are not updated immediately as the website is. For those who prefer mail-order, orders may be submitted by mail or by fax using our printable order form.

Do you sell gift certificates?
Yes, you can give the gift of Fine Wooden Toys to your family and friends with our gift certificates! Available in $10, $25, $50 and $100 (USD) denominations, good toward any order from www.finewoodentoys.com. Have a printed certificate mailed to you or someone else, or a printable certificate emailed right to your inbox. Click here for more information.

Do you gift wrap?
Sorry, we are not currently able to offer gift wrapping service. However, we do recognize the fact that many orders are shipped directly to gift recipients. Therefore, we never show prices or totals on the forms that are sent with the order*. The buyer's name and billing address appear on the packing slip, so the recipient can see who it is from.

*The exception being international orders, in which case, item prices and totals must be shown.

I don't live in the US. Can I order from your website?
We ship by UPS to street addresses within the US and Canada only. Our shipping charges do not cover any customs duties that may be due on arrival in Canada. Please note! Additional fees added to your order under "TAX" are applied toward shipping to cover the actual cost of shipping to your location. This is NOT an actual tax or duty. NOTE: Some large items, such as furniture, are available to the continental US only, and this is stated in the product description.

Do you ship to Alaska, Hawaii, PO Boxes and military addresses?
Unfortunately, since we only ship by UPS we cannot ship to PO Boxes and Military addresses. Shipping to Alaska and Hawaii is available by UPS - shipping costs are calculated automatically during checkout. Please note! Additional fees added to your order under "TAX" are applied toward shipping to cover the actual cost of shipping to your location. This is NOT an actual tax or duty.

How will my order be shipped?
Most orders are carefully packaged and shipped by UPS Ground from our location in Missouri, within 1-3 days of order placement. Delays may be experienced during peak holiday season. Many larger items, such as kids furniture, toy boxes and play kitchens, ship by UPS Ground direct from the manufacturer's warehouse. As a result, some orders will ship in more than one part. Other, faster shipment options are available by special request. Email us at sales@finewoodentoys.com either before or immediately after placing an order for a shipping upgrade/quote.

How much will shipping cost?
Shipping charges are based on the weight of the order and are calculated automatically during checkout. Locations with higher shipping costs, such as Canada, Alaska and Hawaii, may have an additional "tax" added to their order to cover the actual cost of shipping.

When can I expect my order to arrive?
Orders are generally processed and shipped within 1-3 business days of receipt of payment. Delays may be experienced during peak holiday season. Once shipped, delivery times vary depending upon the distance from Missouri. Orders shipping by UPS Ground generally arrive within 4-10 days of ordering. A UPS tracking number will be emailed to you after your order ships, which may be used to track your package's progress at www.ups.com.

Do you offer expedited shipping?
We can accommodate most requests for UPS 2nd day or Next Day shipping. Email us at sales@finewoodentoys.com after ordering to request a shipping upgrade or quote.

Where is my order?
Every order that we ship has a tracking number (UPS) that can be used to track down a delinquent package. You will receive a UPS tracking number when the order ships. You can go to www.ups.com and input the tracking number to check the status of your package and also find it's expected delivery date.

What if something is damaged or defective when it arrives?
Please examine your order as soon as it arrives and contact us right away to report any broken or defective items.
