Credit Card Payments

FAQs, Updates
Did you know PayPal allows buyers to use a credit card if you don't have a PayPal account? It is safe and secure and you will not have to create a PayPal account. We recently lost our credit card processor because they took exception to the fact that we sell pipes which can be used to smoke tobacco. We do not encourage the use of tobacco, nor do we discourage pipe smokers from packing their pipes with their favorite blends. It's a pipe thing, some people just don't understand. The good news is that you can still pay by credit…

A word about add-ons on the checkout page – updated

FAQs, Updates
We have removed product-level add-ons on the product pages. Some products have variations but if you want to add pipe cleaners or a pipe tool you can do that when you check out. The options to have varnish applied to your clay pipe are available at checkout as well. If you buy a pipe that is pre-varnished, such as the black tipped pirate pipe or the red tipped Sherlock English tavern pipe, you do not need to purchase varnish on the checkout page.

Happy Halloween

Updates
Halloween is high up the list of our favorite holidays. We think it's because when Ken goes outside on Halloween nobody freaks out because they think he's just wearing a mask. It's much harder for Ken to be out in public the other 364 days of the year. Anyway, this weekend we're having out annual Halloween Sale with every regular priced item at a 10% discount. (Doesn't apply to items already on sale, no coupon needed, no minimum, just a discount)

Usually we can get them back in stock in a relatively short period of time, but we know it can be disappointing if the item you want is not available. We have added a new feature that will, we hope, alert you when an item is back on the shelf. We are in the process of testing the FollowPrice plugin for our shopping cart. If you want to find out when an item goes on sale or when an item that is sold out is back in…
