General
You can print the Project
Plans Order
Form and/or the Kits
& Parts
Order Form provided and fill them out. If your
printer
is not working, or if you don't have a printer, you may generate
a written note of the items you are ordering but please PRINT
LEGIBLY so someone
other than you
can read it. A sloppy "5" can be taken for an
"S", an "a" for an "o", etc. this
has happened more than a few times and caused me a ton of grief!
There is no reason to cut up the order forms. Five sheets of 20
lb. 8-1/2" x 11" printer/copy paper in a standard 10"
business envelope will only weigh 1 ounce and will mail in the
USA with the minimum rate postage stamp.
All orders are sent by United States Postal Service to anyplace
on earth. I mail most plan sets (5 or more pages) in a manila
catalog envelope so they
don't have to be rolled or folded. Material items must be
mailed
in a carton. Orders are usually sent out the next business
day
(except if I am away to a show). Orders for both plans and
material
items will probably get separated in the mail and could arrive
a few days apart. I am not responsible
for orders lost
in the postal system. As of 2009, not a single U.S., Canadian
or overseas
order out of thousands sent have been lost since early 2002.
Although VERY unlikely, it is possible that it could
happen.
We accept Purchase Orders, but for plans only. Once
paid, we will accept subsequent P.O.'s for "parts" orders.
On about 1/5 of the order forms I get, the order amount was added
up wrong, or either the Plans Order Form P&H fee or the Kits
& Parts Order Form P&H fee is ommited. These problems
cost me time to make the customer aware of the problem and delays
their order.
My request for your e-mail
address on
the order forms is strictly for my use ONLY
in the
event I need to contact you about a problem with your order. I
do not sell them or give them away or use them for any other purpose.
Actually, I don't even bother looking at them if the order can
be filled promptly with no problems - which is the case more than
99% of the time.
Orders From The USA
Use our newer web site, www.model-engine-plans.com for
on-line ordering and payments using Paypal or credit cards.
For security reasons I don't divulge
my bank account information for direct deposit. I accept
checks,
money orders, travelers checks or the ever popular US
Currency.
If you do that, be sure to wrap it up in such a way (aluminum foil
works well) that postal
workers won't know there is cash in the envelope. This has proven
to be safe. Make checks, money orders, etc. payable to: Outpost Enterprises, LTD.
Postage & Handling in the USA
is now $5.00
for PLANS, no matter how large or small the order is.
Postage & Handling in the USA
is $7.50
for KITS or PARTS, no matter how large or small the order
is.
(In some cases, these are less than
what
it actually costs me for the postage).
NOTICE
- If the
USA Postage & Handling
fee is
not included, the order can not be sent. Sorry,
no exceptions........
Thank you for your order!
Orders
From Outside The USA
Postage & Handling for Canada is $7.50 and overseas is $10.00 for PLANS.
Postage & Handling for PARTS is now $12.00 to Canada, and $19.00 elsewhere.
Payment must be in US
Dollars
and payable to: Outpost
Enterprises, LTD.
I can accept any of the following: International
Money Order, Bank Check, Bank or Postal Money Order, Travelers Check, these must
have the 9
digit routing & transit number and be payable through a US
bank, the name of which MUST BE
IMPRINTED
on the front of the instrument. You should be able to get one
of the above at your bank or post office in any country.
Sometimes
banks charge outrageous fees for these, so another alternative
is to wire the money via Western
Union or
MoneyGram. The least costly payment method is to send U.S. Dollar Currency. If you do
that be
sure to wrap it in paper or foil so that postal workers won't
be able to determine there is cash in the envelope. Many customers
do this and although there is a small risk, it has always proven
to be entirely safe.
We now also accept payments via PayPal.
IMPORTANT - Include the
completed
Order Form(s) with your order or a note indicating what you want.
Please ignore the USA $3.00 P&H. It would be wise for you
to include your legible return address on your order envelope
in case of damage to my address information so they at least can
return it to you. This is normal standard practice in most countries.
Thank you for your order!
Delivery Time In USA
Except for the few times each year that I am away to a show,
I get the orders out the next business day. If I am away to a
show when your order comes, there could be a delay of up to 9
days between the time it arrives and I get back home. In the US,
it may take 5 or 6 days for your order to get to me if you are
from the eastern US area and that much time again plus a day for
your order to arrive to you. On the other hand, I know of one
order that went to Minnesota from Colorado in just one day!
Delivery Time Overseas
It seems to take on average about 5 days from western Europe
and around 7 days or so from the Pacific Rim countries for me
to get the order. The same factors apply as above (Delivery Time
In USA) for order processing. I send all outside the USA orders
out by air mail. I am required to attach a completed customs form
to all parts or kit order cartons for delivery outside the USA.
Sometimes these orders can be delayed several days or more in
clearing the destination Customs. This does not apply to plans
sets as they do not need customs forms.
Thank you for your order!
