Most items can be picked up in Sparks to avoid shipping
charges. This includes all clay, chemicals, tools, glaze, etc.
Typical exceptions are equipment which we don't stock locally.
Please order the items you want on-line, select "Customer Pickup in
Sparks Nevada". It also helps if you type what day you would
like to pick it up. We will contact you within 24 hours if something
is not in stock. And we will call you when the order is ready for
pickup.
If you wish to pay with a credit card, please pay on-line
when ordering. You also may
pay with a check when you pick up the order, if that is your preferred payment method.
Please remember you will have to pay local sales tax on orders that are
picked up in Sparks. If you are exempt from sales tax, please
provide your tax exempt letter.
WE ARE NOT SET UP TO MAKE CHANGE, SO IF YOU PAY BY CASH
BRING THE EXACT AMOUNT.
We are typically open for pickups Monday-Friday 8 am-4:30
pm.
Much of our equipment such as pottery wheels and kilns
includes free shipping. Therefore, if you pick these items up, we can
offer you a discount from the web site price. This is only true for items which we typically
bring to our warehouse and don't drop ship direct from the manufacturer.
Looking for a deal? We have some slightly used/damaged
items at great prices, pickup only.
LAGUNA:
We can special order anything from Laguna including clay
and chemicals we don't normally stock. In some cases we may require
payment up front, as some customers have requested special orders in the
past and
never come to claim them.
For large orders of clay, we may not have
enough in stock and will have to add it to our monthly Laguna order. We are
working on choosing a fixed date each month when we will make this order. If your preferred clay is
a brand other than Laguna, please let us know
what that is, so we can consider stocking.
SALES TAX and TAX EXEMPTION
The local rate of Nevada Sales tax is collected on all orders picked up at our
Sparks warehouse (regardless of where
you reside). If you have a Nevada reseller's certificate and are tax exempt
on your purchase, please bring a copy of the reseller certificate with
you. We will remove the tax from the order and keep your certificate
on file for the future.
Unfortunately we can not accept
reseller certificates from out of state (i.e. California) for tax
exemption. However we've learned that if you have no presence in NV
(like a store front or staff) you can get a reseller certificate
(Certificate of Authority) easily and at no charge. There is more
information here. And
you can download the form(s) here.
For further information you can contact the Reno office of Nevada
Department of Taxation at 775-688-1295
