How to Order

It's easy to order from The Virginia Quilter. You can place your order online through the web site, or offline by phone, fax, or regular mail. Here's what to do, and what to expect when you do it...

Whether you're ordering online, or putting together a list of selections to order offline, you can start off the same way. On the individual item's page, enter the amount you want, then click the "Add to Cart" button. Don't forget to tell us what to do if we are short on a fabric. (Click on the "what's this?" link next to those options for an explanation.)

After you add your first item you will be asked where you are so that we can show your selections so far with the correct tax and shipping charges. (We only collect sales tax on orders inside Virginia. Very small orders may have their shipping charges reduced below the quoted amount. International orders are always quoted zero shipping, but will be charged actual costs. Details are given on the tax/shipping zone page.)

As you add items to your selection, they will appear in your cart. If you have Javascript enabled there will also be images of the items. You can click on any item in your cart to get back to it, and through it the collection or group of items it is in, or navigate with the category links on the left of the page.

You can change your selection at any time by clicking the "Modify/Remove" link or any item's quantity. You can change quantities, or remove selections altogether by changing their quantities to zero (0).

Once you are satisfied with your selections, click the "Checkout" link from any page.

When you check out, you have a choice of placing your order online or offline. If you choose the online option, you will be given a secure form to fill out with billing, contact, shipping, & payment information, and notes. All information is encrypted by your browser before it is transmitted to us, and once we receive it is not stored anywhere accessable via the internet. In case that's not enough for you, we offer the option of having us keep a card number on file so that you do not have to transmit it at all on future orders. The card type, expiration date and correct billing address are still required for verification. After you submit your order you will receive a receipt via email, provided you enter your address correctly, so double-check it.

If you choose the offline option, you will only be asked for an email address to which we will send an order form. It will have your selections & totals already filled out, and blanks for the rest of the information needed. Unlike online ordering, you can also pay by check or money order. We do not receive a copy of your offline order until you send it in to us.

Happy Quilting!
