U.S. Dollar and Tiddley Widdley
We understand the U.S. Dollar is not as strong as it was months and years ago and that the cost of inflation and oil is going up faster then we like. We make the commitment to you that we are NOT going to raise our prices in 2008 and guarantee all prices from now until December 31st!!

We respect the struggle the country is going through with an increase in the cost of fuel and food and a price increase from Tiddley Widdley is not what you need right now. We will not sacrifice quality for price. We will continue to stock the same wonderful products from our trusted manufacturers and even some new ones in 2008. Even though our vendors are charging us more because of the change in the Euro and increase in fuel, we still promise to keep our prices the same for 2008 and hopefully into 2009. This means we may be out of stock for some of our items since we will need to buy in "bulk" to take advantage of special pricing. We hope you understand. If you need a "special order" placed for immediate delivery please contact us for a price quote.

We wish our customers well and hope this helps you all during this challenging economic period.

Sincerely,
Tiddley Widdley Team

Do you sell toys manufactured in China and, if so, are they safe?
Tiddley Widdley does carry a limited selection of toys that were manufactured in China. We strive to ensure all the products we sell comply with strict European safety standard (CE), United States safety standards of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) as well as voluntary safety standards set forth by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Look for the symbol to know that a product has been tested and certified via the CE European standards. As of January 2008, we have contacted each of the toy companies who manufacture products in China and have asked them to confirm that their products are made with non-toxic, lead-free paints or dyes, that they have been tested, and that they are safe for children. Any company who was not able to make this statement to us has had their products removed from our web site. We understand your concern and if you have any questions or want more information about a specific product please contact us via email at CustomerService@TiddleyWiddley.com or toll-free at 1.800.869.2401.

What are the Clearance Item categories?
All of our clearance items are considered a final sale, which means they cannot be returned, exchanged or refunded. This way we can offer you unbelievable prices.

Each clearance item will have a category with it so you know the condition of the item before buying:

Overstock = These items are new from the manufacturer and in excellent condition. We simply have too many of them and need to move them out to make room for even more terrific stuff.

Discontinued = These items are in new condition but are last years models and no longer available from the manufacturer.

Blemish = These items are new (they are not returns). However, on their way to our warehouse they suffered some minor dents and dings. They still work and function as they should but they may have a small mark, the box may have a dent or tear, or the paint may be chipped. Please contact us for specific questions about a product at CustomerService@TiddleyWiddley.com.
