No Shopping Cart
We believe in personal service so we do not use a shopping cart system.  Shopping carts require flat rate shipping costs.

Shipping Charges
Our shipping costs are exactly the shipping costs we are charged. We add a whopping one dollar $1.00 for packaging materials (bubble-wrap, peanuts & labels).

Shipping Method
We ship by USPS Priority Mail with delivery confirmation. One pound anywhere in USA is $4.60 + $1.00.  To estimate the cost to your zip code please see the USPS website: Postage Calculator then enter our zip code: 87111 your zip code and a weight.  We will always use a flat rate box if applicable by weight and if the product you ordered will fit.  If applicable we use two flat rate boxes but most large orders are cheaper to send in one large box versus two flat rates.  See Insurance below

Shipping Options
IF
your item is small and basically flat (decals or M-TL coupler kits) we can place them in a flat envelope or bubble-wrap envelope. In these instances we use First-Class mail and add the cost of the envelope. Envelopes cost between $0.50 and $2.00.

Stock Checks
In all cases
we need to have an order placed (including billing address and payment information) before we can pull it.  We used to pull orders and hold them for customers to provide payment info.  Keeping in mind that we also order replacements when we pull stock.  This resulted in over $30k in excess inventory from "customers" placing orders but never providing payment information in 2 years.  Inventory costs money to finance.  As our costs go up so do the prices we must charge.

Also, since we are well known for finding older stock the fact that it is not on our shelves does not mean we can’t get it.

  Please do not ask for a stock check unless you are placing an order for the item.

Shipping Address and Changes of address
First: Credit Card Companies require us to ship to the billing address for your Credit Card.

Second: If you move and need to submit a new address enter "Change of Address" in the subject line and do not put anything else in that e-mail besides:
a) your new address,
b) your old address, and
c)  The effective date you will be at the new location. 

Third: When changing your address always be sure to also file a change of address with your local Post Office.  We cannot "call back" a shipment. Reservation items arrive without notice in many instances.

Insurance is additional.
Insurance is strongly recommended on orders over $50 for your protection.
We have had three packages stolen from customers front steps or mail drops in the five + years we've been in business. All valued over $200. Please seriously consider insuring your order or be sure your billing and shipping address is an address where it will not be dumped on the steps.

Signature Confirmation
We can send using signature confirmation for an additional $2.10 but that will require either someone being home to sign or a trip to the post office. Of course insurance requires signature also.

International Order Shipping
International orders we can advise you of the shipping cost once the package is ready to ship. We typically ship by Global Priority Mail to international customers.  If possible we will use First Class Mail International.   To estimate the cost to your country please see the USPS website: http://ircalc.usps.gov/ then scroll to your country and enter a weight.
We accept Mastercard , Visa , Discover, and American Express , USPS Money Orders. If using money orders for reservations you will need to pre-pay.  In some cases we will negotiate other arrangements -- please read our reservation page by clicking here. International Postal Money Orders must be in U.S. $

Many banks no longer accept USPS Money Orders due to high rates of counterfeit and stolen Money Orders.

The U.S. Postal Service has changed their policies on Money Orders that they will accept. If using a US Postal Service Money Order you MUST contact us first for specific instructions. We do not accept commercial Money Orders.

Wig-Wag, LLC's e-mail


Under no circumstance do we accept Paypal. Please don't ask.

Please click here to e-mail us with what you would like to order. Include your e-mail address, billing address and your phone number. We will e-mail you back with info on how to supply your CC#. Please call (1-888-298-7177), during phone line hours if you do not have an e-mail account. Please submit all orders and inquiries by e-mail rather than by phone. Phone orders may have to be e-mailed back to you for confirmation.  That will delay the process. 

Please do not send attachments with your e-mail

Attachments take many forms:  It could be an e-business card, an imbedded link, a photograph, stationary, or, another harmless item. However, without your knowledge it's also possible that your computer and as a result your e-mail may be infected with a virus and it might not be harmless. Virus software cannot tell where an attachment came from and which attachment is infected from one that is not until the item is opened and then it's too late.
Attachments are the most common way that computers get infected through e-mail.

Hold for Shipping
This is one of our customers' most popular features.  It is an option you elect.  We will hold your order for up to 45 days in order for other announced or out-of-stock items to arrive. We do, however, have to have a credit card on file in order to run the charge for the item we are holding. If we don't charge promptly, it will tie up capital, cost us more to do business, and we will be unable to continue to offer our current pricing structure. We will not charge for the shipping until the package goes out the door. You must request hold for shipping.

Time is a major factor in financing any business. Our pricing is based on getting things out as quickly as possible when they come in. You may combine reservation purchases with other in-stock items. However, we cannot send e-mails to people who want to add to their reservation when it arrives.

Returns:

In ALL cases contact us before sending anything back.
Any return w/o contacting us first and getting authorization will be assessed a 15% re-stock charge.

If you change your mind about wanting a reserved item before it ships to us and we can adjust our order, no-problem. However once the item ships to us, or our order is locked in there will be a 15% re-stock charge on any cancellation or return. Items in scales other than N or Z scales (and MTL HOn3) are considered Special Order and are non-cancellable, non-returnable.

When we goof - (it happens -- we're human) we will send you a check to refund any overcharge and the shipping cost for the item sent in error.  If you prefer we can credit the overcharge to future purchases.
In some cases it is cheaper to credit you with a refund and you keep the item so we occasionally do that. 

Warranty Issues:

If an item is less than you hoped for but is what the manufacturer produced, the warranty is with the manufacturer. The manufacturer should be contacted after you contact us.
Do not return any item to us without authorization by either Debra or George.  No other person has the authority to authorize a return.

Most manufacturers have a repair or replacement policy within 90 days of purchase.
Also, most want you to return the item directly to them. This reduces the time involved in resolving the problem (getting you happy) and wasted shipping charges.
