How are your products shipped?
Products are shipped via the United Parcel Service (UPS) 2nd Day Air and United States Postal Service (USPS) 7-10 day service. When ordering online, you may choose either 2nd day air or 7-10 day service. Orders are processed Monday-Friday and are usually shipped the next business day. For International 2nd day air orders, there occasionally is a delay due to some country customs regulations.

What about international orders?
All prices are listed in US Dollars. Your credit card company will automatically convert the amount of your order based on current exchange rates. If you want to know current exchange rates against US Dollars, visit the Universal Currency Converter. We can ship your package just about anywhere in the world. If you order on-line, confirmation of your shipment will be sent by e-mail. PLEASE NOTE: We are not responsible for any customs taxes or fees your country may have for importing these DVDs. We are also not responsible for any delays or lost items due to customs, and if customs returns your order to us we will charge you for the reshipment of your order. However, if a problem with customs occurs, we will do our best to help get your order released.

Do the DVDs work in all countries?
DVDs have region encoding which determines what countries they will work in. Gnomon Workshop DVDs are region 0 encoded for playback in all DVD players.

Are your products guaranteed?
All Gnomon Workshop products are guaranteed to arrive in perfect condition. If any product should be damaged in shipping or prove to be a defective copy, The Gnomon Workshop will replace it with a new one. This guarantee is valid up to 60 days after the date of purchase. Opened products will only be exchanged with another copy of the same product. All of our DVDs are non-refundable.

Is my credit card number safe?
All credit card transactions made through The Gnomon Workshop are encrypted via our secure server, making it virtually impossible for your personal information and credit card number to be stolen during your purchase. Furthermore, at no point is your personal information or credit card number stored unencrypted on our e-commerce server.

Is my information kept private?
The Gnomon Workshop never sells or shares any customer information with any other company. Your e-mail address is required to send order confirmation information, or to alert you if there were any problems with an order. Phone numbers are required for the purpose of completing Express Mail shipping forms and customs forms for international shipments.

Can I order over the phone?
The Gnomon Workshop does not sell DVDs directly over the phone. However, you can make a phone order with the Gnomon School at 323-466-6663. All DVDs are available. Visa and Mastercard accepted. Gnomon only ships via Federal Express, so if you are looking for the cheapest shipping option, it is best to order online.

Can I come to Gnomon to buy DVDs?
Yes. All DVDs are available, but please call ahead to make sure the school has the titles you want.
