Frequently Asked Questions
Product Questions
- I am not sure of which size dome or case to order for my display item.
- We recommend that you allow for at least 1" of clearance on all sides of your display item. For instance, if you have a sculpture that measures 6" L x 6" W x 10" H, you would need a dome or display case measuring at least 8" L x 8" W x 11" tall (one inch on the left, one inch on the right, and one inch above the item). If you need further guidance or if you would like a custom quote on a display case, you can contact us via our contact page.

concerned about online security, we can assure you that we stringently adhere to
PCI Compliance (the process that ensures companies follow proper security
practices to ensure secure online transactions).
We use companies such as Digicert, Trustwave and GeoTrust to ensure your shopping experience with us is secure.

Please keep in mind that while we post our toll free number, we are a small, family owned and operated business. We do not have the resources at this time to staff our phone line, so you will most likely be asked to leave a message.

- I'm having trouble putting items in my shopping cart and checking out.
- Our shopping cart - and all
shopping carts - need to have cookies enabled because only with this option
enabled during the process (add to cart, giving names, address etc) is it
possible for the cart to remember each customer's settings. Many people disable
cookies on their computer - a leftover from the times when everyone thought it
would create problems for a computer to have cookies enabled. If you do not know
how to enable the cookies on your computer, you can visit the site link below,
which has instructions on how to do this.

- I can get items into my shopping cart, but I can't seem to checkout.
- Sometimes, our customers experience this problem when there is a firewall installed on their computer, or on the network their computer is on. If you know how to disable your firewall, you can do so before you place your order, and then re-enable it once you have completed your order. However, if you do not feel comfortable doing this or are unable to do this, we are happy to take your order by fax or phone.

Existing Orders
- I did not get my receipt, order status or special offer emails. What is happening?
- In a word, SPAM or Junk . Internet Service Providers and Email Providers try their best to eliminate SPAM. Sometimes their efforts are too stringent and stop legitimate email that you request. Some of these companies publicly acknowledge that their efforts may cause requested emails to fail to get to you. They provide us with a response email that states our emails have been blocked and the reasons why. Most times we are able to resolve the issue by working with that company and you should start seeing our emails again in 24-48 hours. If you continue to not see communication via email from us, please let us know via the contact us page.
There are a few known exceptions to the above. We are listing by email provider so you can determine if you fall in one of these special circumstances.
Earthlink, PeoplePC, and Mindspring Customers:
Your provider requires that you consent to receive our emails. You can do this manually or respond to an automated email from your email provider.
To ensure you get all your email in a timely manner, you need to add "orders@finehomedisplays.com" to your contact list.
If you don t manually add our email to your contact list, your provider will ask us to complete a form requesting permission to send you emails. They will in-turn send you an email with the form request asking for your approval. You will need to review and approve this email in order to receive our emails.
AOL Customers:
At this time, we are having issues getting our emails to AOL customers. We have spent numerous man hours trying to contact and resolve email issues with your mail provider without success. Their customer service model is geared toward paying AOL customers and not companies providing AOL customers their services. This makes it nearly impossible for us to ensure you get the emails you request from us.
Although we will continue to try and resolve this issue to the best of our ability, we could use your assistance. As a paying AOL customer, you have more leverage with AOL to ensure you get our emails. Below we have tried to provide you the most accurate information we could find for contacting AOL to try and resolve this issue from your end. If you have problems using any of these links or information, please let us know.AOL Postmaster Support

- What if UPS leaves a yellow note on my door?
- This is a delivery attempt notification or InfoNotice. UPS will try to deliver a package one time per business day for up to three days. Each time they will leave a note and tell you how many attempts they have made thus far. After the third delivery attempt, UPS will return the merchandise to the sender.
Why is UPS not leaving the package at my door? There are multiple reasons for this and some or all could apply to your circumstance.
- The shipment is high value and requires signature
- UPS has declared the area in which you live as high risk. Meaning they have had problems with package theft or damage in your area
- A shipper has sent the package requiring a signature. Note: We do not send packages requiring a signature unless the customer requests it.
Please note that we have no control over UPS procedures and policies. It is your responsibility as the receiver to follow-up on the InfoNotice. Failure to respond to the note and the subsequent return of merchandise to the sender is beyond our control.
For more information from UPS on InfoNotices, you can read more here.
If merchandise is returned to sender and you wish to have the package resent to the same or different address, you will need to pay for the new shipping and handling charges. If you decide to cancel the order, you will be refunded the cost of the package minus any shipping and handling charges.
If you have questions about this, please contact us. - Back to Table of Contents
- When I check my order status I notice that not all of the products I ordered have shipped at the same time, will I receive my whole order? OR I only received part of my order, where is the rest?
- FHD maintains warehouse locations around the country. Often times, your order will be shipping from 2 or more locations. If you check your order status and see that not all of the products have tracking numbers next to them, it means that those items are shipping from another locations. They will most likely ship within the next day or so.

- Can I make a change to my order once I have placed it?
- Due to the built in efficiencies in our ordering system, once your order has been placed, and you have received your electronic confirmation email, we cannot make changes to the product you have ordered, nor can we cancel your order, as it has already been processed to our warehouses.

- Can I cancel my order once I have placed it?
- As with order changes and the built in efficiencies in our ordering
system, once your order has been placed, and you have received your electronic

- I placed an order and was notified later that an item I ordered was out of stock.
- Occasionally, we experience a delay in the updating of our computer system with regard to inventory levels so that items appear to be in stock when they actually are not. If the backorder will result in only a short delay, we will inform you and keep your order open, shipping the item when it becomes available. If the backorder will be for more than several weeks, we will cancel this part of your order, and issue you a full credit.

- I placed an order and did not receive an order detail receipt in my email box.
- This can happen for a couple of
reasons. Sometimes customers do not fully complete the checkout process,
so that even though you have entered an order into our system, you exited the
process before the email receipt was generated. The other issue we run
into has to do with Spam Blocking Programs. Sometimes our emails go
directly into our customers' spam folders. When ordering from our stores,
be sure to add the following email addresses to your "friends" list so that our
emails can get through to you:
Fine Home Displays
customerservice @ finehomedisplays.com
