Can I order items to be sent as gifts?

Any item you select can be shipped to another recipient as a gift, and most can be gift wrapped. For $4.95 per item, we'll wrap each gift separately in our green holiday paper trimmed with beautiful gold ribbon, and print your personal message on a gift card.

If you go to "my account" located at the top right hand side of the web site, not only will you find your own information, but also a handy address book that contains all the shipping addresses of your friends. Once a shipping address is in your book, you do not have to fill out all the shipping instructions for that person again.

What shipping options are available?

W Standard Shipping, unless otherwise selected in the order menu, is United States Postal Service Priority Mail. Expect delivery of your package within three to five business days from receipt of your order confirmation. We also offer UPS three to five day delivery and Fedex two day air.

Can orders be shipped to foreign countries?

We currently ship to destinations all over the world, using the United States Postal Service. Delivery to Canada and Mexico can take two to three weeks, depending on Customs. Delivery to Europe normally takes six weeks. Drop us an e mail and we will get you the exact shipping charges for any item that is to be shipped off the mainland of the USA.

How are shipping and handling charges calculated?


Our shipping charges are based on each delivery postal zip code address, its weight, and its size. It has been our experience that Priority Mail is the most cost effective and generally ensures delivery anywhere in the US within three to five working days. We have no control over those items that are drop shipped direct from the manufacturer. However, in most cases, drop shipments are generally sent UPS Ground, with three to five day delivery, and we can track them for you.

Our shipping charges are based on the cost of the carrier, plus the insurance, and the cost of the box and packaging materials. Many of the deliveries have a small extra charge for a "certification of delivery" by the carrier. This additional charge will be added if we are shipping to an Association or business address, or an apartment or institution. We just want to make sure your parcel gets to you. We do not charge for time or labor. All parcels are delivered directly to the carrier from our store by our employees only.

Is the credit card information I submit secure?

Absolutely. Every step of The Copper Penny online ordering process that requests personal information and/or credit card information employs Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. SSL renders information unreadable should anyone attempt to intercept it. We utilize the latest technology programs supplied and administered by Verisign, and continually update our "Certification of Security".

It is our policy to protect this information and guarantee to you that any information you provide to us is safe and secure .
