E-mail wanted info vs. SPAM

E mail addresses with your orders are NOT placed on our email lists nor placed in our address books. They are used ONLY for individual messages pertinent to your orders/requests. Our address lists are NOT sold or shared with others. PERIOD

Returned Merchandise: In the event of DEFECTIVE products, contact us at  ( sales at mrrwarehouse.com ) for instructions on return/replacement.  Unauthorized returns cannot be accepted for refund.  Shipment for "APPROVAL INSPECTION" is generally impossible to accommodate.

 

E-files/attached files:  Our general policy is not to open files received attached to emails in order to protect all on our mailing list.  We do, however, solicit digital photo contributions to be posted on the website.  Any photograph files should be sent to:

Privacy: The Model Railroad Warehouse has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy. The following discloses our information-gathering practices for this website (The Model Railroad Warehouse). Your IP address is collected by our web server and used to help us determine the number of visitors that visit our site each day and how visitors found us. If you provide your e-mail address to us during a purchase, it is used for follow-up with your purchase (such as to provide you with a shipper's tracking number). If you provide your e-mail address to us through our feedback form, we will use it in the means explained on the form where you have provided it. Occasionally, we may use your e-mail address to notify you about new products or special features we are offering. You will always have the option to remove your e-mail address from any occasional mailings that we send out. We will not give or sell your e-mail address or any other information about you to anyone. We do not use third-party e-mail lists, not do we contribute to them. Any information you choose to provide to The Model Railroad Warehouse, such as name, phone number, etc., will only be used for our interaction with you, our customer, for your own convenience, and for our records.

Simplicity: We like to keep things simple for both you and us. We've designed this web site with simplicity as a goal. Behind the scenes is a great deal of complexity - all to keep the the site easy for you. This site has a simple look. It uses graphics sparingly or refers you to a picture page that opens in a new page. This is intentional. Too much data and pictures can take longer to download over your Internet connection. Instead, simpler pages load faster, so you can get at the information you want more quickly.

But the user-simplicity goes deeper than just our appearance. Our online-buying process is simple, too, and we're working on ways to make it even simpler.   Sometimes advance reservations and late orders can be frustrating but we work hard to supply what our customers desire.

Prices: We try to be as inexpensive as we can. We are model railroaders, too, and price is an important factor in our decision to buy something. For most of us, money available for hobbies and entertainment is only what's leftover after the bills are paid. Therefore, we feel that the price has to be right for our customers. Browse through our inventory; we think you'll agree that our prices are fair. We try to keep the prices down.

Security: Uncertain about giving personal information over the Internet?? You are not the only one. A lot of people have concerns about sending personal information (such as credit card numbers) over the Internet. That is why we ask you not to send your credit card information to us electronically unless it is through a secure means such as our PayPal partner and with our shopping cart. We've arranged with them to take care of this problem, so you needn't worry. Paypal's send money page is secure, so you can rest comfortably knowing that your credit card number and other information will not be intercepted by hackers. Here's how it works; When your browser contacts PayPal, it is in a secure page when providing your credit card number, etc.  Then, PayPal emails us that you have made your payment and we can ship your products ASAP.

Furthermore, we will not give out or sell any of your personal information (such as address, e-mail address, or phone number, etc.) to anyone! Nor do we buy this information from anyone. Privacy is as important to us as it is to you! We will keep your information on file for several reasons (see below), but mostly for convenience to you for the next time you order, and for extending special offers to you from The Model Railroad Warehouse.

Cookies: Mmm, Mmm, good!  Especially when they come right out of the oven, eh? Well, not that kind. The cookies we are talking about are packets of information The Model Railroad Warehouse sends to your browser which it stores on your computer. Then, when you visit us again, your browser will send this information back to us.  You can prevent your browser from using cookies, if you'd like, but we discourage it because they are designed to make your Internet experience more convenient for you. Also, the SHOPPING CART must have cookies enabled in order to complete the order.

Trust: How do you know that when you buy from The Model Railroad Warehouse, that you are buying from a legitimate dealer? How do you know that you aren't going to get ripped off by some shady people? Well, these are good questions that are tough to answer, but they are questions you probably won't have to go far to answer.  We belong to several trade organizations, such as the National Model Railroad Association, and this can be verified on the internet or checking trade publications  We work hard for your business and carry a long tradition with our brands, so our reputation is at stake.
