Back Ordered Items
We are trying very hard to keep up with constantly changing inventory but has proven difficult. We are running out of colors daily it seems and I am working to keep the website up to date.
If we run out of an item that you ordered, we will simply remove it from the invoice and mark it out of stock. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but it seems to be the quickest way to keep orders going out the door. We won't be calling or emailing to let you know. If the color you are ordering vital, the inventory looks low, and you would like to be notified if it is out of stock then make me a note on your order form. I will then call or email you.
Thanks for your understanding in our time of chaos!

Shipping Prices
Shipping costs are always a concern for clients and they should be. I have had a couple of people wondering why the shipping is so high on their order. I promise that we are not adding anything on to the shipping rates. These are taken directly from UPS and USPS websites. We do add the $1 for handling but that can be seen during checkout.
Shipping rates are based on where you live and how much your package weighs. We figure shipping based on the packing weight. The Art Tile Collection and Brushstrokes weigh 1.65 lbs per sheet and the AfterGlow weighs 1.9 lbs per sheet. You can add up the weight on your order and plug it into ups.com to see what the rate should be.
With orders pouring in and clients saving 40% on most products, the shipping looks high. Think about this way...a $200 order that has shipping of $45 may weigh 139 lbs and contain 84 sheets of glass. Of course this is based on purchases of the Art Tile at $2.40 per sheet. So 139 lbs at $45 is not high for shipping. And if you had to pay regular retail, the cost for the tile would have been $336. Wow, that makes that shipping charge pretty low!
If you are ever unsure about the shipping that pops up, feel free to contact us and we can verify it for you. 99% of the time, the shipping that shows up on our site is correct.

Liquidation of Tile Shack
Yes, it is true...I have decided to close the doors at Tile Shack. It has been 6 years of a lot of fun and I have made many friends along the way.
We started off with $400 worth of inventory and a dream. I still remember the day when I had to make the decision to give up teaching because Tile Shack had grown too large for me to do both. We can now boast a warehouse full of tile and record sales for 2008. We beat our sales goals for this year over and over.
So now why would I be ready to close the doors??? As much as I have enjoyed working with all of you over the years, I have also found a new career that I love. My new company is Online Marketing Services, www.marketingowasso.com. I have been helping Tulsa area small businesses to improve their online presence for awhile now and have a strong passion for this. My client base has grown to the point where I now have to make that familiar decision of which business I want to continue doing.
There are several companies looking into purchasing Tile Shack but for now I am going to liquidate all the inventory and assets as quickly as possible. So until someone else takes over...enjoy the huge savings!

Holiday Shipping
PLAN AHEAD! PLAN AHEAD! PLAN AHEAD!
To get your package by December 24, you will need to plan ahead. Our packaging times are now 1 day but your shipping times will vary depending upon where your package is being shipped.
Use our shipping map to see how long it will take your package to arrive. These shipping times start once the order is shipped not from when the order was placed and shipping times are not guaranteed unless you choose UPS 2nd Day Air.
Please don't depend upon the shipping times quoted. This time of year UPS and the postal system get backed up so plan an extra day for shipment. I have seen many packages not make it in time because the shipping companies are just too swamped.
