Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. I signed up for your email and haven't received it, why?
Please check your email program’s spam/junk or promotions folder to see if email from [email protected] has been routed there. Let your email software know it's not spam by selecting the not junk (or not spam) button. Learn more about ‘whitelisting’ our email address.
Q. Artistic Artifacts references their CommentSold store in their social media and newsletter— what is CommentSold?
We use CommentSold to administer live selling events, which offer you one of a kind and limited-quantity products. We set up each Live Sale as an Artistic Artifacts Facebook event, and advertise them in our weekly newsletter and our social media channels. We recommend using the Artistic Artifacts CommentSold app for the best viewing and shopping experience for these live sales, which are archived and can be replayed in whole or in part through our app. Learn more about CommentSold and how to download our app.
Q. Do you offer a free shipping coupon?
Orders totaling $75 and up shipped to U.S. addresses only receive FREE shipping- no coupon code necessary. Our free shipping offer does not include bernette and BERNINA sewing machines. If you live locally, you may save on shipping by designating under shipping settings that you wish to pick up your order in person. Same day service is not guaranteed; we will email you when your order is ready.
Q. What shipping company do you use?
Our preferred method of shipping is Federal Express Service, which allows us to pack and ship to your residence without any additional charges. If you select USPS Priority Mail, in certain cases we may choose to switch your shipping method to FedEx, unless otherwise instructed.
Q. Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship all over the world. Our system is set up to give an estimated cost before you buy. Put everything in your cart you would like to purchase. When you are in the cart, please click Check Out, enter the full shipping information, and then hit Continue. You will not be charged at this point. This step gives our system the information it needs to calculate the shipping cost. The shipping cost will be on the left side of the page.
Q. How do you price your fabric?
When ordering fabric, please read our descriptions carefully. Unless otherwise specified, our fabric is priced and sold per 1/2 yard.
- Ordering "1" gives you a ½ yard cut
- "2"= 1 yard
- "3"= 1-1/2 yard, etc.
When multiple yards of the same fabric are ordered, we will ship a single cut whenever possible. If a specific amount of yardage is required for a project, please contact us in advance.
Q. Can I place an order over the phone?
We are not set up to take orders over the phone, plus it is safer to transmit information via our secure online shopping software, which encrypts your credit card number for your protection. You can set up a customer account with us or place your order as a guest.
Q. How do I redeem my Artistic Artifacts gift certificate?
You must have an Artistic Artifacts store account and be actively signed in to redeem gift certificate codes. After redeeming the unique alpha-numeric gift certificate code, the credit will show up in your Customer Account Balance screen where you can use it to pay for an online order. Read complete details of the process.
