HOW CAN I ORDER YOUR PRODUCTS?
It’s easy! Select the product that you’d like to order. Each product will clearly show you what information is needed to place your order (ink color, typestyle choice, quantity, etc.) Once you’ve filled in your shipping & billing information, you can either check out or continue shopping. When you’re ready, you will review the items you’re purchasing and click "submit" to complete the order. You’ll receive a confirmation email, and a complete listing of all the items you've ordered along with pricing info. The Paper Café will take it from here and get busy completing your order for you!
IF I'M NOT COMFORTABLE ORDERING ONLINE, ARE THERE OTHER OPTIONS?
Paying by credit card on the papercafe.net is very safe and is the quickest way to get your order in process, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
