You are here at the Option 2 Page to find out how to get us to send coal to someone else--with you listed as the buyer. If this isn’t correct, go to the Order/Buy page)

Option 2: We send coal to someone else with you shown as the giver. This option is NOT anonymous in any way, and requires that you email us.

1) In your email, tell us:

a) your name and address

b) the recipients’ names and addresses

c) how you want us to identify you, as gift giver. We can just write your name on the gift card for you (From <Your Name>), or we can include a neatly handwritten note on the gift card.

“A gift from <Your Name>” or “<Your Name> asked us to send you a special present” or “<Your Name> thought you deserved some coal.”

Or you can give us an equally short non-offensive message to write on the card(s).

2) After we get the email from you giving us all the specific information, we will calculate the sum of your items and total shipping costs and send you an email invoice that has links to take you to the Paypal site. At the Paypal site, you will need to sign up for the free Paypal account if you are not already registered with Paypal. Using Paypal allows us to invoice you and accept credit card payments without us ever seeing your credit card or personal financial information. ( Why we use Paypal? )

In our emailed invoice to you, we will tell you what products we are going to send, and where, and what the note in the packages will be. Check this information very carefully. If it is not correct, please email us.

Shipping and handling charges apply separately to each address. We will calculate these and include them as an item on the invoice. For example, if you want us to send coal to ten different recipients, we have to charge $6.00 plus $3.00 shipping and handling for each package. For example, if you want us to send ten bags to five places (a pair of bags to five destinations), the cost would be $6.00 plus $6.00 (for coal item, bag or ornament) plus $4.00 (S&H) for each of the five addresses.

Note: For some users, the “total” shown on one of the early Paypal pages is the complete total, including Shipping and Handling and any applicable Texas Sales Tax. Other users report being shown the complete detailed invoice at the very beginning of the process. Anyway, before the process is complete you will see a detailed, accurate invoice with all the costs broken out before you hit the final “Pay” button. You may cancel anytime until you hit the final “Pay” button.

[Here are some supplemental Detailed Instructions for the Paypal Invoice Payment Pages if you need them.]

3) As soon as Paypal shows you have paid the invoice, we will immediately get your special order(s) in the mail. You will send you an email with a Postal Service delivery confirmation number when we mail your package.

Whew . .. Got that? Simple, huh? See why Option 1 is easier?

Privacy Notice: We will never give your email address or any other personal information to anyone, anytime, except when you have agreed for us to, by buying using Option 2 or Option 3. Then. we would only identify you to the gift recipient. We will never share information about you with anyone else. Promise.
