Over 1,500 New Miniatures Added in January!

I have a few hundred miniature accessories in stock, and over 2,000 more available to order. When choosing miniatures to add to my site, I look for quality and realism. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, you may return it within 30 days for a full refund of the purchase price.

Items on my site described as "Special Order" normally take 2 - 4 weeks to reach your door (a bit longer if you live outside the U.S.). Items may be discontinued or my suppliers may run out of stock, but I do my best to keep my site updated. I will contact you with news of any delay and I will not charge your credit card until I am ready to ship.

For even more selection, please visit the Handley House web site - they do not sell retail, but I can order any item from their site for you.

Please see the Site Map on my site for an expanded navigation link list.

December 2009 News

World of Miniature Bears
Now In Stock

The bears and other animals from World of Miniature Bears pictured on my web site are now in stock and ready to deliver. If you are interested in a World of Miniature Bears item that you do not see on my web site, please let me know and I will be happy to order it for you!

Please allow 4 - 6 weeks for delivery of special ordered bears. If you would like your special order bears sooner, I can have them shipped directly to you from the manufacturer. Please contact me if you would like a shipping quote for this option.

*****************************

The Shipping Cost Calculator Has Been Fixed!

The Automatic Shipping Calculator on the web site has been fixed - it should no longer estimate outrageous shipping costs for your orders! It may still calculate the shipping cost a little too high, especially for International Orders. The actual shipping cost charged may be a little lower than the site estimates, but it will never be higher.

Please note that I will only charge you ACTUAL postage based on the USPS rate for the weight of your package plus $1.00 to cover packaging and transportation costs (but not to exceed the shipping cost estimated by the web site). If you would like an exact shipping quote in advance, please contact me and I will be happy to provide one. Thank you for visiting my site, and for your patience while I worked on this problem with ProStores!

*****************************

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING CHANGE IN PAYPAL PAYMENTS

Please choose "Check" as your method of payment when you check out, and let me know that you would like a PayPal invoice. I will calculate the correct shipping charge and send you a PayPal invoice. (In the case of Special Orders I will not charge you until the items you ordered are ready to be shipped.)

I apologize for any inconvenience regarding this change - some customers were experiencing Shopping Cart Cancellations when they tried to pay with PayPal.
