Website Terms of Use & Privacy Policy
Terms of Use: Look around, if you like something, buy it. If you don't see anything you like, let us know!
Really, all we ask that you don't spam us, hotlink to our pictures, or attempt to DoS us. Be nice. Life's too short.
Privacy Policy: We don't sell your email addresses, or any other info. Period.
We don't keep your credit card numbers on any site, or longer than is necessary to process them! We use crazy long passwords, and we don't use Windows on any machine that has access to your info. There's plenty of other things we do to keep your data safe, but I'm not going to list them all. Guard dogs, lasers, and angry bees might be involved.
Our site is secure with a SSL certificate from our swell webhost (hostasaurus.com) which is why you'll see 'https://vikingwoodcrafts.hostasaurus.com/' instead of 'https://vikingwoodcrafts.com/' in your browser's address bar. You may get a popup notice from your browser informing you of this. That's fine. You're secure. If you have any questions, feel free to call or email me.
Why aren't some of the photos showing?
Currently, we have over 10,000 items on vikingwoodcrafts.com. Out of those 10,000 items, there are roughly 8,600 photos. If you see a red 'X', or no picture at all, you are not doing something wrong! We haven't put those pictures up yet.
You will notice that many paints and brushes are not pictured, as well
as some items from days of old. These pictures
will be replaced as time permits. If you email us a item number, we may
be able to send you a photo after some delay.

How do I find something I'm looking for?
There are several different ways to find something on vikingwoodcrafts.com.
First, we recommend the search. Our new search is very powerful, and allows you to search by Item number, Item Name, Description and even price! As of right now, there are only a few Descriptions on the site (located under the picture in the single item view), but more are being added every day!
If you are getting too many items in your search, try being more specific. Instead of searching for 'box', try searching for box round' or 'box heart'.
If you are searching for something, and aren't getting enough results - be more general. Try entering less in the search box. Searching for 'John Sliney' and not getting any results? Type 'Sliney' in the search box and there he is! This works the same for surfaces; 'box' will have more results than 'box with heart lid'.
Occasionally, our spelling leaves a bit to be desired, so entering the first few letters of an elusive item can sometimes do the trick; we will correct these errors as we find them.
Please note: The names of our items are up to 32 characters long. We'd love for them to be longer, but our old inventory system has other ideas. We try to squeeze as much information as we can in there, but the fine details or full titles can get cut off or abbreviated in strange ways. Keep this in mind when searching, and you'll have no problem finding most of our items.
Secondly, we recommend the category tree on the left. Each category contains several sub-categories, which can contain their own categories.
Each category contains from three or three items to one hundred or more. You will find fewer items in the deeper categories, as they have been separated into more detailed sections.
Think of the category tree as a big file cabinet with file folders inside. Contained in those folders are more folders. Like this:
Vehicles -
Car -
Insurance -
Oil Changes -Coupons
Truck -
Insurance -
Claims
Premiums
Body Shop
If you are looking for a wooden recipe box, go to 'Wood' ->'Boxes' =>'Recipe'.
Click on some categories, and you'll soon find your favorite items. If you
find something in the wrong place, please let us know, and we'll have a look.

How do I sign in to buy something?
If you have an existing account on our website just click on 'Sign In &

of the Category Tree. If you haven't shopped with us before you will need to click on the 'Sign In & Details' button

If you have an account, you're half-way there! If you have not signed in, please
do so. After you are signed in, all you will need to do is enter your credit
card number and follow the prompts.

Why am I not getting an Order Confirmation?
Please ensure your email addresses in the 'Email Lost Passwords To' field and the email addresses in the shipping and billing lists are correct! Make sure you have whitelisted us if your email provider has a Spam Blocker.
Due to the numbers of orders we recieve, we cannot respond to automated whitelist requests, or 'type in a buncha stuff here because this sender has requested all email to be blocked' email bounces. You will need to add 'sales@vikingwoodcrafts' and 'viking@vikingwoodcrafts.com' to your whitelist.
Another reason you may not be getting our emails: Your mailbox is full! Get in there and toss some stuff. :)
