FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions: FAQ

1. Who are our customers?
   Toy Wonders is a Business to Business B2B operation. We supply wholesale distributors, retail stores, and non-profit organizations whose intention is to re-sell and/or distribute Toy Wonders' products and/or services. A valid Federal Tax ID Number or State Resales certificate number is required for US based customers.
   
   
2. "Can I buy one car?" or "Can you make a specific car?"
   If you are an end consumer looking for one particular car or product, please continue your search by finding a retail site; We recommend entering the item # plus the keyword(s) into Google, Yahoo, or your favorite search engine. If you are an end consumer looking for us to build you a particular model car, set-ups, licensing, and new tooling costs generally exceed US$50,000.00, so it is not cost effective to make just a couple dozen of your dream car. For qualified customers, please register and we will provide our contact information to you.

   $350.00 of products and/or services. Please note that the cost of shipping is NOT included in the $350.00 minimum. Freight charges are based on UPS and FedEx published rates. A $350 minimum order applies to re-orders too.

11. How do I find out what the freight charges will be?
    We often get inquiries from people who want to know what the freight charge will be, without them telling us what they want to order. Please understand, in order for us to quote freight we need to know what specific items and the quantities you would like to order. We will NOT be able to quote freight unless you submit a tentative online order. All shipping carriers use a combination of weight, number of packages, box dimensions, and destination in determining freight charges.
    
    To find out what the freight charges will be for a given order, please login to your account, place the desired items in your shopping cart and either click on the ESTIMATE SHIPPING CHARGES link or proceed with the check out process. Note that you must be a registered and approved customers in order to place items in your cart. Before you get to the screen that asks you for payment information, you will be able to obtain a freight quotation for the products in your cart. If the freight charges are agreeable, you can then complete the check out process.

    Yes. However, please keep in mind that new items arrive frequently and limited production run items seldom enter our printed catalogs.

19. What about freight charges to non US addresses?
    Our only system will quote shipping rates by shipping carriers that we use that service your country. To see what the freight charges would be, please place items in your shopping cart and check out. When you get to the freight quotation screen, select the carrier that you prefer. We have found the US postal service to be reliable on our end, but you must make the determination if your country's postal service is reliable enough for them to deliver you packages. Any taxes, duties, or fees your country imposes are your responsibility. Any special packaging requirements that your country might have, please bring it to our attention.
    
    A word of warning about using the postal service. Although this is sometimes the most cost effective means of moving packages to your country, claims for lost or damaged packages take not weeks, but several months to resolve. In the event you receive a damaged package via the postal service, you must immediately place a claim on your end and forward us the claim number and information so that we can place the same claim on our end.
