Ordering

The fastest and most accurate method to order is to use the shopping cart on this web site. Especially, if you are a first-time customer, this can get your order delivered days faster. This is because you won’t have the time consuming tasks of printing out your order, sending us your identification, waiting for confirmation, resending bad faxes, etc. etc. Of course, you can mail, fax, phone, or e-mail your order in, as long as your identification and Hold Harmless Agreement are already on file with us or are included with your first order. If they are not, and if you are ordering age-restricted products, your order will be returned to you or held until you provide them to us. It is fine to include your ID and the Hold Harmless Agreement with your first order. But the fastest and easiest way is to place your order online.  If you are required to prove your age, you can use the online age verification feature.

Unless indicated otherwise, everything we sell can be shipped to you in any location in the US.  Skylighter does not ship anything outside the USA.  Sorry, but we will not make any exceptions to this policy.

Any item you order that is temporarily out of stock will be “back-ordered.” The remainder of your order will be shipped to you, unless you tell us to hold your order and ship everything at one time. As soon as the replacement inventory for the back-ordered item arrives here, we will automatically ship it to you, unless you request otherwise. You are not charged for back-ordered items until they are shipped to you. We do charge for shipping on back-ordered items.

The busiest time of the year for us is during the weeks immediately before each July 4th, which is Independence Day in the United States. If you order anything during this period, you may experience delays in receiving your order. If you want to be sure that you will have what you need in time for your July 4th display, order it before May. All the other guys who waited until the eleventh hour, and ordered before you did, have an uncanny knack for buying up all of the critical stuff you will need for your Fourth of July shoot. If you wait until June to order your Fourth-of-July goods from us, there's an excellent chance that we may have run out of an item and that you won't get what you need or in time.

Please understand that we are a mail-order business, not a retail store. We are not really geared for unscheduled "walk-in" or casual visitors. We have no retail showroom and do not have folks around who can help you as they would in a retail store. However, if you place your order online at least two days before you want to pick up your order, we are certainly happy for you to come by and save yourself all those delivery and hazmat fees.  Just order using the shopping cart on this web site, and pick Warehouse Pickup as the shipping method.  You will be asked to pick the date and time you want to come by.  After your order is confirmed, an email with turn-by-turn directions to our warehouse will be sent to you as well.
