Q.I'm uncomfortable about giving out my credit card number on-line. How can I be sure your website is secure? 

A.Claudia's Gift World website uses the latest security technology, including the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol and a Digital ID. This system features the strongest available cryptographic techniques to make sure that your information cannot be manipulated or interefered with. When you visit claudiasgiftworld.com using Internet Explorer or Netscape, your information is encrypted during the transmission process and can only be encoded by authorized personnel of Claudia's Gift World.  In addition, we require complete billing address verification on all transactions using credit cards.

 

Q.I'm not familiar with some of your product materials. Can you tell me what they are?

A.Here are definitions of some of our materials: Alabastrite is a stone-based polyresin substance that can be molded into virtually any shape, and will allow pigment to easily adhere to it. It is extremely durable and feels very much like stone to the touch. It can be finished to look like ceramic, wood, rock and other materials, making it excellent for home decor items, garden ornaments, sculptures, and figurines. Patchwork is a material made by stretching designer fabric over porcelain or ceramic figurines and then painted with 12 coats of lacquer. Each application of lacquer is hand polislhed, creating an incredibly smooth finish. 

Q.Do you ship to Canada or other foreign countries?

A.No, I'm sorry, Claudia's Gift World does not ship to any foreign country due to extremely expensive shipping costs, custom formalities and duties, and uncertain and unguaranteed delivery schedules. We also do not accept credit cards from non-US banks.
