Can I send a message with my order?

Sure. You can include a message with your order at no extra charge.

Why is there no "Add to Cart" button next to some items?

Because the item is temporarily out-of-stock. When you go to the "Product Detail" page, you will see a "Notify me" button instead. When you click on that button, you will be asked for your name and e-mail address so that we can notify you once the product becomes available.

How long does it take for an item to become available when it's out of stock?

Unfortunately in most cases there is no way for us to predict how soon an item will become available again. For more information, see the availability section.

How does the "Notify me" feature work?

Once we receive a new shipment, an e-mail is automatically sent out to those who are on the waiting list. Since certain items may only become available in limited quantities, we have a first-come first-serve policy.

Can I be notified by phone when an item becomes available?

No, we can only notify you by e-mail once an item becomes available.

How can I make my computer remember my Karoon username and password?

Next time you login to your account, check the "Save my login information" option and click Continue. By doing so, your username will be stored on your computer and you will not have to re-enter it each time. For more information on this feature, click here.
