GRAND RE-OPENING! Create a Can is excited to be opening our virtual doors back up again effective 1/21/2010! We are looking forward to a prosperous year and can't wait to 'see' our loyal customers again! Gallon cans may not come with a handle. We have a mixture of then with and without handles. If you have a preference, please be sure to let us know in the checkout message. We Recycle - We Reuse! Since we are a growing home based business, anytime we can save on expenses is better for you! When we package our boxes for shipment, we use grocery bags, newspapers, tissue paper, peanuts, etc. for packaging - if we have it on hand, we will use it! ______________________________________ TRACKING/INSURANCE ON PACKAGES Although we put delivery confirmation on each package free of charge for tracking purposes, this does not replace your items if not delivered or damaged. PLEASE NOTE: We are not responsible if the package does not reach you for error on the part of the United States Postal Service or if damage occurs because of rough handling on their part. We suggest you insure your packages from us. This will protect you in case your package is lost, stolen, or damaged. OPENERS FOR CANS "Keys" (Openers) for cans are not included with orders For regular orders, we no longer provide "Keys" (openers) for each can free of charge. This is because they add a lot to the shipping weight of the package and are actually cheaper for you to go locally and pick them up. They can be found at most stores in the Paint Department. I know Walmart sells them, Tru Value Stores, Sherman Williams, etc. If you want us to send you an opener, you will need to use the opener link and purchase them in addition to your order. All filled cans will always have a cello/bow and a key to open them. ______________________________________

DESIGN SUGGESTIONS ______________________________________ SHIPPING ALERT I'm often asked about shipping and how can we make it more accurate -- well the truth is, we can't because it's not only based on the items ordered, but to where it's shipping. You could order 3 gallon cans and have the shipping be double what you would pay for 20 pint cans because of the size and weight. The shopping cart can not accommodate all of these different shipping options, so you are charged a set amount for shipping and will be invoiced any additional shipping prior to the order being sent out. If you have any questions as to what your shipping will be, please don't hesitate to contact us and we will get back to you with the most accurate shipping we can -- however, it's always subject to slightly change once packaged. Here are some examples of shipping though: 20 pint cans or 10 quart cans will cost around $14-17 to ship depending on what zone you are in from me 2 gallon cans, 2 gallon cans and 4 pint cans, or 2 gallon cans and two quart cans will cost around $10-15 to ship depending on what zone you are in from me 90 gallon cans, sent in three boxes via UPS cost $65 to ship to New Jersey - Ground - 2 day delivery 3-5 gallons, 3-5 gallons with up to 5 quarts or 10 pints will cost $15-30 depending on what zone you are in from me 9 filled gallons will cost about $25 to ship on the east coast A large order of 90 cans which consisted of 18 gallon, and the rest a mixture of quarts and pints just cost me $70 to ship to Texas because of the zone it is in from me.. this same box, to someone on the East Coast would have cost about $45-$50 to send.
