How to Order from Fine Games

Fine Games does not currently use online forms to place orders. Instead, simply send us an email (or give us a call or even send us a FAX or letter) which contains the information necessary to communicate your order to us. The process is simple and allows us to provide you with personalized service and feedback, something we could not do so easily using a form.

So, to place an order, follow this procedure. (More info can be found in our FAQ.)

3 Anticipate shipping costs.

For shipments within the US, most orders cost$23.00for shipping. Exceptions include these situations:

  • Your order contains only up to four (4) non-boxed, flat items. Shipping is $11.00in this case. ($9.00if you have only a single unboxed item.)

  • Your order contains any bulky (LBoxed) or weighty (3#+) items. Add+$4.00to the base$23.00for each such item. Your order may also contain giant boxed (GBoxed) items. Add+ $7.50for each such item due to their great size & weight. 

  • Your order is shipped via UPS domestically, and UPS defines your zip code as "rural." In this case, add+$6.00to the shipping total to reflect the additional charge UPS charges us.

  • Special shipping requests may alter the prices above. Shipping light items by UPS, heavy items by USPS, shipping outside the 48 contiguous states, or using any form of 1, 2 or 3-day air will increase your costs, and rates will be based on specific shipping weight and service class.

For shipments outside the US, estimate costs by:

  • Estimating a shipping weight for your package. This is the sum of the weights of all items (including a guess where it isn't shown), plus an appropriate addition for packaging weight (generally 1-3 pounds, minimum is 0.5 pound).

  • Use the (1) weight, (2) service desired, and (3) destination country to determine the estimated shipping charge on our International Shipping Rate Chart.

  • Expedited UPS and USPS services may be available. Please inquire.

See Key to Codes for a detailed explanation of Box types & how to interpret the information contained in our catalog listings.

4 Decide upon how you will pay. This will effect how much you pay.
  • All prices are stated on a cash basis. If you pay by check, money order, trade credit or bank funded PayPal (i.e. not funded using a credit or ATM card), you pay the cash-basis price shown in our catalogs. (However, see PayPal Payments for details on using PayPal while avoiding fees; you must follow specific procedures.)

  • If you pay by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover® or AmEx), or with PayPal funded with a credit or ATM card,, you lose the cash discount and must add 3.1% to calculate the grand total.

You should now be able to estimate the order total.

See Payment Methods for more info on all the many ways you can pay.

 

The specific email address to which you send your PayPal payment depends upon how your payment is funded:

 

CashPayments@FineGames.com for payments funded directly from a checking account. (Look here for detailed instructions.)

PayPal@FineGames.com for payments funded from a credit or debit card.
