USPS has increased their shipping rates on 1 Jan 2010 - This will make shipping go up on some items and will especially effect orders to HI, AK, US possessions and all International Orders including Canada. Not only has USPS increased their shipping charges - UPS and FedEx have also raised their rates. The chart below reflects the new shipping rates.
We carry a complete line of Made in the USAWeather vanes, they are 14 gauge steel that is zinc chromate plated, a copper vein powder coat is baked on and a clear powder coat is baked on to protect against UV rays and provides a scratch free finish. There are four mount choices - roof mount, post mount, deck mount and a 60 inch garden stake. There are two other mounts also available for mounting on a Gazebo 3 sided roof and Gazebo or Cupola 4 sided mount. All of these weathervanes are in an beautiful Antique Copper finish that is clear coated. They have a one year warranty on the finish. The weather vane tops are laser cut in one piece.
All of the weathervanes are 21 inches long measured from the tip of the arrow to the back of the arrow and range in height from 6 inches to 11 inches
We carry several Garden Windmillsincluding four made in the USA 8 foot windmills. The Galvanized steel American Style windmill (right) and three powder coated college windmills. We carry the red and white University of Nebraska Huskers windmill, the cardinal and gold Iowa State University Cyclones windmill and the black and gold University of Iowa Hawkeyes windmill shown below. These decorative windmills are perfect for your yard or garden.
We also carry a 4.5 foot American Style galvanized steel windmill that is a scaled down version of the 8 ft. Garden windmill and thirteen different 17" mini windmills.
These windmills are made in the USA. They are crafted from heavy gauge galvanized steel. The wheel is hand-balanced and rotates on two quality ball bearings. There is a grease zerk on the wheel. These windmills are built to last many, many years. Every part of this windmill is quality made by an American manufacturer that has been in business for decades. Do not be fooled by the cheap Chinese imports.
These windmills are scaled down versions of the windmills that used to be seen all over the Midwest on farms and ranches.
The wheel is so well balanced that even a gentle breeze will make it turn. Like all windmills the wheel will turn to the direction the wind is coming from. As the wind changes direction it will change direction so it is always facing directly into the wind. You will be able to tell the wind direction and velocity by looking at the windmill.
Your windmill will arrive in a 30X25X5 inch box that weighs 37 lbs and is shipped UPS ground to your door. They are easy to assemble. It takes about 2 hours to put it together. All that is needed is a screwdriver. Included are 4 ground stakes to secure it. While the ground stakes will work for many installations, it is better to mount these windmills on a cement or wood base to make them more secure in high winds. My blog site has additional photos and information about how to put these windmills together there is a link to the blog site below.
The three college windmills are licensed. The college windmills are powder coated not painted. There are three college windmills available. Show off your team pride.
University of Nebraska Huskers in Red and White;
University of Iowa Hawkeyes in Black and Gold;
Iowa State University Cyclones in Cardinal and Gold
The school names and logos are vinyl that is applied after the windmill is assembled. You can opt to not use the logos and end up with a powder coated red & white, cardinal & gold or black & gold windmill that you can place whatever design or logo you want (or no logo at all). Your local vinyl sign shop can make custom logos or lettering for you.
The 8 foot, college and 4.5 foot windmills are taking 10-12 days to ship. The 17" windmills normally ship the same day that an order is processed.
The best way to order is online. There are two ways to order. Below each item on the left is a Buy Now button. This goes directly to Pay Pal check out. You do not have to have a Pay Pal account to use Pay Pal. On the left side of the Pay Pal screen it says {Don't have a Pay Pal account? Use your credit card or bank account (where available) Continue} Below that are Credit Card Icons. Click on the word Continue to go to a screen where you can enter your credit card information. This is the easiest way to order on line. NOTE there is an issue with the Pay Pal BUY NOW button. If you click on the Blue Link with the item name above the item description you will go to a screen that has a larger Picture. There is a BUY NOW Pay Pal button on that screen which does not work correctly. It will take you to the shopping cart check out. If after you click on the Buy Now button you do not go to Pay Pal use the back arrow on your browser and go to the previous page where there are several items on each page and use the Buy Now button there-this one works and it will go directly to Pay Pal. I am working on this glitch and hope to have it corrected soon.
The other way to check out is on the Right below each item. This is for people who do not want to use a credit card on line. Click on the Add to Cart button. When you get to the Payment Method screen there is a drop down menu, choose Check by Mail/ Money Order. With the "Add to cart check out you can mail a check or money order or phone us with your credit card number. We can take a credit card over the phone after you have completed your order. We can take orders over the phone but prefer that you fill out an order form on line. We find that when you fill out your own order form on line that we make far less errors in the name and or shipping address.
A couple of questions keep coming up - first is the site secure? Yes of course it is - when you go to the first check out screen you will see the http change to https - and you will see the Geo Trust logo on each secure page. When you pay with either a credit card or Pay Pal you have gone to the Pay Pal site which adds several more layers of security.
There is a FAQ page that has information and screen shots of the two ways to check out. Hopefully this will answer a lot of questions. If you have any questions or problems checking out please check the FAQ page. You can click the FAQ link or the Frequently asked Questions menu tab on the left.
Next is shipping charges. These appear during check out. Shipping is flat rate. See the table below.
Do we ship internationally?? Yes we do. (buyers outside the lower 48 states will receive a request to pay for additional shipping after the order is placed - the check out will not add the additional international shipping charges)
