Terms and Conditions
SHIPPING
We only sell the finest weathervanes and cupolas that money can buy. Remember
our weathervanes and cupolas are not mass produced - they are works of art and sometimes
your order may take a little longer than anticipated. Please be understanding,
and we promise to keep you informed throughout the process and quickly let you know
if there are any unexpected delays. Our weathervanes usually
ship in 3 - 7 business days, and our WhiteHall Products weathervanes usually
ship in 2 weeks. Our handmade cupolas usually ship in about 7 - 10 business
days (but during the busy season in can take up to 3 weeks). The products
we carry are hand-made and we cannot guarantee the time when the product will be
available, or when it will be shipped. Because our products are custom made
to order (including cupolas and weathervanes) your credit card will be charged at
the time you place your order and cannot be returned or cancelled once production
has begun (usually within 2 business days after your order is submitted).
If the customer refuses delivery of an order, the customer will be responsible for
all shipping charges and any return shipping fees. If a product is lost, stolen
or damaged during shipment, the customer must contact Country Weathervanes within
10 days of shipment and keep all original boxes and packing materials.
Shipping charges will be added to your order during checkout, however, in the
case of cupolas, the actual shipping charges may be different from what was calculated.
Be advised that we only charge you what UPS or the motor freight company charges
us for shipping your order. You will be notified of any additional shipping
charges before your order is shipped (for your approval).
Please note that some large or very heavy orders (all cupolas over 30" square) may
require shipment via common carrier motor freight (truck). If you are
ordering a cupola that has to be shipped via motor freight, please
Contact Us and give us
your state and zip code for a better estimate of what the motor freight charges
will be.
We only ship inside the United States. We do not ship to U.S. Possessions,
APOs, FPOs, or any other Countries.
PAYMENT METHODS
We accept the following credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, Discover
and American Express. We also accept PayPal. We only accept credit
cards issued by U.S. banks with billing addresses in the U.S.
**Please Note:** Charges on your credit
card statement will be from "Global Stores Direct LLC", parent company of Country
Weathervanes. If you need to cancel before shipment, please let
us know quickly. Note: We cannot issue refunds on some special
order items. Special order items (including cupolas and weathervanes)
will be charged to your credit card at the time you place your order.
After you order, we will send you two emails. The first is to confirm your
purchase and provide you with a link where you can monitor your order status at
any time. The second email is sent when your package has been shipped. Shipments
to destinations in Florida will be charged Florida sales tax.
** FOR YOUR SECURITY **
Your billing name, address and phone number must match exactly what the
credit card company has on file for you. We reserve the right to cancel
any order that does not match these criteria.
Transactions at Country Weathervanes are 100% secure with 128-bit encrypted SSL
technology. Countryweathervanes.com
does not keep your credit card number on file or use your personal information for
anything except order processing and shipment.
SHIPPING to an address that is different from your BILLING address may delay
your order until the alternate shipping address can be verified with your bank.
(You might need to contact your credit card issuer and ask them to put a notation
on your account showing the alternate delivery address).
CANCELLATIONS and RETURNS
Because weathervanes and cupolas are custom-made, Country Weathervanes charges
your credit card within 24 hours of placing your order. Once an item has been
shipped, customers are responsible for shipping charges both ways for all returns
and for all defective products. Please do not ship your package back until
you receive a Return Merchandise Authorization number and the address of our warehouse.
Unauthorized returns without an RMA will be refused. Customers can return
most weathervanes within 25 days of shipment and Country Weathervanes will issue
a credit (minus shipping charges and 20% restocking fee). Because all weathervanes
made by WhiteHall are considered Special Order items, they are not returnable
and no refund will be issued. The customer pays all shipping costs
for all exchanged or returned items. If the customer refuses delivery
of an order, the customer will be responsible for all shipping charges and any return
shipping fees. Defective products can only be returned for a replacement of
the same product (no exchanges), subject to the manufacturer's terms and conditions.
Country Weathervanes does not do repairs.
Damaged in Transit
If your order arrives damaged, please notify us within 3 business
days. Also, keep all original packaging for UPS inspection. We will
issue a claim with UPS and will either replace the damaged product or refund the
customer, but only if UPS accepts the claim. If UPS denies the claim,
the customer will be responsible for any damages to the product with the option
of shipping the product to us for repair or replacement at the customer's expense.
Wrong product Shipped
If Country Weathervanes ships the wrong product to the customer,
we will pay for shipping it back to us and also for shipping the correct product
to the customer. The customer is responsible for packaging the product for
return.
Returns Instructions
All returned products must have a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RMA#)
on the box. Please
Contact Us to request an RMA number. Include your name, address, telephone
number, Order number, the name of the product you are returning, and the reason
for the return. Items should be returned in NEW CONDITION with insurance
(in case of loss or damage) and via a traceable shipping method. You’ll
also need to provide us with a tracking number. No returns will be accepted
without an authorization. Other restrictions may apply.
Chargebacks - Please do not issue a charge back. Lost funds will
be considered theft and reported to the CHARGEBACK
FILE (Global Chargeback Registry), a chargeback database which can adversely
affect your credit. We will also retain a collections agency to recover amounts
unpaid, plus fees. Finally, we may take legal action against you. The customer
is liable for all legal fees and court costs incurred by Global Stores Direct and
Country Weathervanes.

contact the manufacturer directly - Country Weathervanes does not do repairs, however,
