WHOLESALE PRICING and DISCOUNTS

What this means: $6.85, 6/$39.24, 12/$74.76, 24/$143.04, 48/$266.40, 96/$505.92

When ordering from Attic Trunk, you are always ordering "per product" (each), unless stated otherwise.  As shown above, the $6.85 indicates that you pay $6.85 each for a quantity of 1-5.  If you order 6-11, you pay a wholesale price, i.e., $39.24 divided by 6, or $6.54 each.  If you order 15, your price is $74.76 divided by 12, or $6.23 each.  In your shopping cart, you will see $6.23 x 15 = $93.45.

If you wish to order a full case of a product, you must order a large enough quantity to fill the case, i.e., if a case is 24 per case, you need to order 24.  There is no extra charge for display cases, just remember, for a full display case you must order enough product to fill it up.  Drop down boxes allow you to select box type, display type, color, size, etc.; options that cost extra will say "(+2.00), (+5.00), (+30.00)" on that option line.

Our wholesale pricing is adjusted so more people can take advantage of the discounts.  You do not have to order huge amounts of an item to get a price break.  We have NO membership fees or other nonsense. You only need to meet the first wholesale ordering quantity to receive additional price discounting on a particular product.

It is important to us that purchasing wholesale products is quick and easy.  For some products, where indicated, you may have to contact us for wholesale pricing.  When you order in quantity, our website will instantly give you the wholesale price.  The Attic Trunk shopping cart will automatically compute wholesale discounts.  This wholesale price will be shown in the shopping cart as the "each" price.

PRICE MATCHING
If you find a product at a lesser price at another on-line merchant and would rather order from us, identify the product and the web address in the comments box when you order.  We will discount your order to match the competitor's price.  There are limitations to price matching.  Product must be the same product and openly available to the public from the competitor.  A competitor with a minimum order greater than ours will not be price-matched unless order meets competitors minimum order amount.  Our current pricing is on our website; we do not match outdated pricing on websites that run advertising for us.

Price matching is at Attic Trunk's discretion.  We want your business, so we will do what we can, within reason, to price-match products.  Attic Trunk orders directly from manufacturers to give you the best prices possible.  Most products we sell are already greatly discounted.

TAX EXEMPT
Applies only if you are located in Illinois.  We need your tax-exempt certificate, with identification number, on file, to make your order tax exempt.  During the ordering process, at the bottom of the "Payment Page", you can enter your tax exempt ID.  Upon order completion, our website will generate an Order / Invoice Number.  Put that number on your tax exempt ID certificate.  Your certificate can be e-mailed to us (if you have it in PDF format), or faxed to us at 877-537-1819.  Tax ID certificates may also be mailed to us at the address at the top of this page.

PAYMENT METHODS
We accept MasterCard, VISA, Diner's Club, Discover, Yahoo! Wallet Express Checkout,
check / debit card, certified check / cashiers check (in U.S. dollars only), Western Union wire transfer. Sorry, no personal or business checks, C.O.D., PayPal®, postal money orders, or purchase orders.
Minimum order is $10.00.

Certified Checks and Wire Transfers - what you need to know
For certified checks and wire transfers, no account numbers are needed at time of on-line ordering (leave that blank.)  Wait for an e-mail from us to confirm that your order is in stock and that your shipping cost is correct before sending your payment to us.  Certified checks can be mailed to www.AtticTrunk.com, Suite 173, 847 South Randall Rd, Elgin, IL 60123.  Sometimes Attic Trunk may request that you pay by wire transfer (usually with large orders from new customers).

Western Union wire transfer: Locate your nearest agent on-line at Western Union or call 800-325-6000 (toll free.)

Regardless which method you choose, wait for an e-mail from us to confirm that your order is in stock and that your shipping cost is correct before sending payment to us.

SHIPPING

• Shipping cost is estimated; your bill is adjusted, up or down, to the actual cost of shipping.
• Shipping to U.S. troops anywhere(APO/FPO addresses)
• We pack boxes to, or exceeding, UPS shipping standards so your order arrives undamaged; excludes full or nearly full cases.
• Unnecessary expedite shipping methods changed to less expensive methods when number is days is   same or less.

Our website will do it's best to accurately estimate your shipping cost when you place an order, but this is only an estimate.  At time of order placement, the estimated shipping cost will be based on shipping one box from one location.  The shipping estimator cannot compute shipping cost for products added to an order from drop-down boxes, shipping from multiple locations, shipping multiple boxes, dimensional weight upcharges, delivery zones or total cost of packing materials.  Estimated shipping cost will be adjusted, up or down, to the actual shipping cost. Shipping weights on items are approximates only. Orders shipping in multiple boxes, and/or from multiple locations, will be billed shipping charges for all shipped.  By placing an order, customer agrees that a shipping increase of up to $20.00 is authorized.  Attic Trunk does not notify customers of cost increases for less than $20.00.

Attic Trunk uses estimated shipping costs, rather than a flat rate, because the website offers such a large variety of merchandise; some items are heavy, some light, and some very delicate, each requiring specialized packaging.  Shipping cost either includes, or can be affected by: delivery speed, weight, dimensional weight (box dimensions), packing supplies required, delivery zone, residential or business delivery, fuel charges, insurance, multiple shipping locations.  If UPS has to correct your shipping address, customer agrees to pay the UPS address correction charge and $5.00 processing fee.  Address correction fee will billed by Attic Trunk.

Customer agrees to pay actual shipping/freight cost on wholesale orders and orders over $100.00.  Website shipping estimator cannot calculate multiple boxes and box dimensions.  Some orders may ship directly from manufacturers.  Your bill will be adjusted to the actual shipping cost once Attic Trunk is notified of that cost.

For orders weighing over 150 pounds, the website cannot calculate shipping.  Shipping charges will be added manually to your order and will show on your Status Update e-mail.

An "Over Maximum Limits" charge, determined by the carrier, can apply to any packages that exceed the carrier’s size limits or when dimensional weight exceeds package weight.  This may occur on odd shaped products, certain fountains and computer cases.  Light bulbs require extra cushioning and often ship in medium to large boxes.  Upgraded shipment services provided by carriers may add additional cost to shipment(s) such as up-charge for dimensional weight.  Largest cost increases are usually on orders with upgraded shipping that must ship in a box larger than approximately 8" x 8" x 7".

Processing time, from the time your order is received until it ships, is about 1-2 business days but may be longer around special days and holidays.  The day your order is received is not a processing day.

Processing time may be increased when shipping to a secondary address (not your billing address).
Off-lease/used/reconditioned computer equipment requires additional processing time as this equipment is loaded with software, customized and tested prior to shipping.  Orders shipping directly from manufacturers or distributors may require additional processing time.  Attic Trunk does not guarantee delivery on the date requested but will do the best possible.

Delivery time depends on the type of shipping service you specify and your location.  If we cannot ship using your selected shipping method, we will ship using the next most similar method.  Attic Trunk reserves the right to change customer's shipping method for any reason.  Attic Trunk will routinely downgrade shipping methods from that selected to a less expensive method in the event the lesser cost service delivers in the same number of days or faster.  This saves our customers money and the adjustment will show on our automatically dispatched Status Update e-mail(s).

Carriers do not count the day an order ships as a shipping day.  The carrier's shipping transit time starts the day after the carrier receives the order/package.  This is standard across all carriers. Carriers may not guarantee delivery times.  Check with the carrier you select.  We have provided links to all our carriers below.

Most products ship from the midwest, "AT" product codes ship from the west, chemicals ship from the east coast.  No jewelry orders will be shipped using USPS Ground for insurance reasons.

We are monitoring shipping rates, as our goal is to charge only the actual shipping costs.

When you get to the Shipping Form, if you have any questions or a "need by date", please put a note in the "Comments" box when you order.  Attic Trunk does not guarantee delivery dates.

Tracking Numbers
Orders are updated with tracking numbers within 24 hours of confirmed shipment.  If your tracking number shows "in transit" or "billing information" and nothing else, that would mean it is enroute to the carrier's nearest hub.  When the hub checks it in, the carrier's computers will show the new status.

Confirmation E-mail / Status Updates
A confirmation e-mail is sent out as soon as an order is submitted.  Status Updates are automatically
e-mailed anytime an order is touched. If you do not receive a confirmation e-mail from us, please check your spam, bulk, or junk mail folders. You may receive e-mail from these addresses, so make sure they are not blocked by your spam filter:

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS
Products illustrated are actual photos of the products available at the time.  The pictures on the product packaging may vary slightly from the actual product.  All sizes of products at Attic Trunk's website are approximate.  Because off-lease, used and reconditioned equipment offers sell out quickly, the specifications also change quickly.  Customer should e-mail Attic Trunk to verify offers, especially
with older offer dates.  We will verify the offer availability when we review your order.

Attic Trunk does its best with generous product descriptions, pictures and help via phone or e-mail to assist customers in selecting the right products the first time.  Ultimately, it is up to the customer to decide which product will suit their needs.

Customers should use information from the entire product description in all purchasing decisions.  When using cross-references, the customer needs to match the entire product description to their old product. Many manufacturer product identification codes are not specific to one exact product but represent a "series" of products.  If unsure, ask us for help before ordering.

Regarding computers and laptops, computer operating systems do not always report system resources correctly. Microsoft operating systems do not report CPU (processor) speed correctly, especially on laptops. For this reason, CPU speed for laptops should be checked in the CMOS setup. Attic Trunk is not responsible or liable for any inconvenience, damages, shipping charges, computer software, or anything else related to product(s) that failed to meet customer expectations.

Although our staff works diligently to insure the accuracy of product descriptions, product pictures, options and prices, Attic Trunk reserves the right to correct typographical and photographic errors. Attic Trunk is not responsible for any inaccurate product descriptions or product claims. Attic Trunk makes no guarantees regarding cross-references.

SUBSTITUTIONS
Attic Trunk and its manufacturers reserve the right to update model designs, or substitute models or colors, whenever these changes represent an equal or better value for our customers.  It is not the responsibility of Attic Trunk to notify customers of product substitutions or changes.  Attic Trunk is not responsible or liable for any inconvenience, damages, shipping charges, or anything else related to product(s) that failed to meet expectations.

DEFECTIVES
If a product is defective, e-mail Attic Trunk immediately with your order number (found on the e-mail Status Update) and with a detailed explanation of the defect prior to sending anything back.  You will be e-mailed instructions as to how to proceed.

Fountains and pond pumps are water cooled, thus running them without water will burn up the motor, which is not a defect.  Improperly handled halogen bulbs will blister and burn out prematurely, also not a defect. Attic Trunk will test products claimed to be defective.

Most defective products are handled directly by the manufacturers/distributors providing the warranty. Some defective products are handled by Attic Trunk even though the manufacturer/distributor determines the product warranty terms.  Some products may be warranteed for only days, while other products have a year or more. Defective light bulbs and other products, not handled directly by the manufacturer, are credit only, no replacements will be sent.

Defectives handled by Attic Trunk require a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number prior to defective return.  Defectives are handled on a case-by-case basis.  Customer agrees that all returned products will be 100% complete and will include the original packaging material, manuals, blank warranty cards, and other accessories provided by the manufacturer.  If any component of the returned defective product is missing or damaged, Attic Trunk's defective return policy will be breached, and Attic Trunk will reject the entire defective return.

Customer agrees to bear all shipping charges and all risk of loss for the returned product and understands Attic Trunk does not reimburse for shipping costs to, or from, the customer on defective items being returned. Defectives can only be shipped back in a corrugated box with a tracking number and insurance. Shipping anything back in any other way voids the defective return. Defective returns that have not followed this procedure will not be processed.

Should any card issuing bank disputes occur, customer agrees to pay the $20.00 charge per dispute. Opening an issuing bank dispute voids all previous offers made by Attic Trunk to resolve the problem.

SHIPPING DAMAGE AND LOST PACKAGES
For lost packages, the customer should first contact the carrier.  The carrier may have notes the driver made, such as: behind bush, inside storm door, etc.  For any kind of shipping damage or lost package, it is up the customer to notify Attic Trunk.  Re-ordering is the fastest way to get a replacement, however, we recommend waiting for the determination from the carrier before re-ordering.  If re-ordered and the carrier delivers first shipment late, you will be billed for all shipments, which are not returnable.

Shipping damage and lost package insurance coverage varies from carrier to carrier.  Some carriers have very limited reimbursement, such as 10 cents on the pound and may not reimburse complete freight shipping cost.  Attic Trunk is not responsible for reimbursement of any costs related to shipping damage, freight damage, lost packages.  Nothing will be credited or re-shipped to customer until carrier completes investigation of damaged or lost package.  Should any card issuing bank disputes occur, customer agrees to pay the $25.00 charge per dispute incident.  Opening an issuing bank dispute voids all previous offers made by Attic Trunk to resolve the problem.  Customer agrees to pay all collections related fees.

ALL SALES ARE FINAL
All sales are final, no returns, no exchanges, no refused shipments.  Customer agrees to pay all ship to and return charges on refused shipments.  Should any card issuing bank disputes occur, customer agrees to pay $25.00 to Attic Trunk per dispute incident.  Opening an issuing bank dispute voids all previous offers made by Attic Trunk to resolve the problem.  Customer agrees to pay all collections related fees.

INTERNET CONTENT
Our links are maintained manually, so we can monitor sites to which we are linked.  We try to avoid links from Attic Trunk to sites that use pop-ups or anything considered not "kid safe".  Attic Trunk is not responsible for content of other sites, or pop-ups from other sites, to which you can transfer from Attic Trunk (either by a link or banner).

Attic Trunk uses Internet Content Rating Association®, "ICRA".  If you have a newer browser version, ICRA settings are adjustable to stop your browser from going to adult sites at the rating level you select (it may be called "content advisor" in your browser).  The ICRA ratings, our web site informs your browser a websites rating.  If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x or newer, and you wish to use your "content advisor" at the top, click on "tools", click "internet options", click on the "content" tab, you should now see your "content advisor".  You may need to "enable" it, if "settings" is not lit up.  Otherwise click "settings" to adjust your "content advisor".

PRIVACY POLICY

SECURITY and ENCRYPTION
Attic Trunk uses the most sophisticated level of security.  All orders and payment information will be encrypted (scrambled) using industry standards.  In addition, all Attic Trunk servers and computers are protected by advanced firewall technology.  This encrypted and secure data is routed to Attic Trunk, decrypted and processed.  An order confirmation e-mail is sent to the customer.  Attic Trunk's security (SSL API) guarantees that the orders and payment information generated by the web server remains totally secure.  All transactions done with Attic Trunk are processed in "real time" to keep your information secure.  Your credit card numbers and personal information are encrypted (scrambled) making it nearly impossible to capture them as they travel over the web.  Experts in security believe your credit card information is much more at risk when you give your credit card to a waitress who takes it into a back room to swipe on the restaurant's machine.

Is Yahoo! Shopping Secure?
If you are not the kind of person who worries about being hit by lightning as you are crossing the street, you do not have to worry that your credit card number will be intercepted on the way to a secure web site. According to CNN, "The prevalent opinion...is that on-line credit card use is actually no riskier for consumers than traditional "low-tech" transactions."
