No Sales Tax

FAQ

NO SALES TAX:  You will SAVE money with us! You pay NO sales tax because we are a New Hampshire LLC. If you are shipping to Tennessee and purchased $200 that means you are saving about $19. California about $18. etc. 

Your Phone Number:  The phone number you provide is included on the UPS/FedEx label so that UPS/FedEx driver can call you if he/she has a problem with delivery. List the phone number you are most likely to answer. We might also call you if we have a question about your order. NO ONE else will get your phone number from us. No one. 

Your Credit Card Info:  In order for your order to process it needs to be paid for. If not paid, we do not get the order. When we receive your order, we receive the last 4 digits of your credit card. that is all. We get no expiration date, no code. It is impossible for us to charge your account - or for anyone get your credit card info from us. You are totally secure.

THANK YOU for your Order email. An email is automatically generated when we receive your order. If you get NO THANK YOU email, one of 3 things happened. #1 You entered an incorrect email address. #2 Order didn't process because payment didn't clear. #3 Most probably - you'll find the THANK YOU email in your Junk folder. If you do not find the email in junk, email us at service@wallstreetgifts.com and ask us to email confirmation of order to a DIFFERENT email address.

Shipping:  Sadly both UPS and FedEx changed the way they calculate shipping in 2015. This was a MAJOR change. I will use the example of our 8 inch, large, ceramic piggy bank. Due to the pig size, it is shipped in a corrogated carton that measures 10x10x10 inches (10 cube). For 10 years we shipped the bank in this carton and paid for THREE pounds, the ACTUAL weight of the pig in the box. In 2015 this all changed. Now we are told the weight of the carton. In 2015 UPS/FEDEX assigned a weight of a 10 cube box at 7 lbs. This NEW type of weight is called DIMENSIONAL weight. We could ship a feather in the 10x10x10 box and be charged for 7 lbs. You pay for 7 lbs. That means that UPS/FEDEX has DOUBLED the cost of shipping. You now paid for 7 lbs and not 3 lbs. It gets worse! In 2018 the DIMENSIONAL WEIGHT was rasied to 8 lbs. In 2024 dimensional weight is 10 lbs. Shipping is NOT a profit center for us. Due to gas prices a high "fuel surcharge" is added. We use UPS software to calculate shipping cost. These are difficult times. The UPS/FedEx tracking # does NOT activate until your box is delivered to a UPS (or FedEx) distribution center. 

How Can I Personalize?  Wall Street Gifts offers TWELVE types of personalization.  Your choice of item will be linked to the best personalization option for that product. If engraving is the best, you will be given the engraving option. For most piggy banks, painting by hand is the option. Plaques can be adhered to many of our sculptures. For products that can be personalized, you will be able to add your information on the product page BEFORE you check out. If personalization is not possible, you see NO CUSTOMIZATION.

LOGO?  A LOGO is possible for many, but not all, products. You need to purchase the logo - price varies - on the Product Page BEFORE you check out. In "Talk to Us" box say: emailed logo to orders@wallstreetgifts.com. The logo will be clearest on your product if what you email us will fit on item without major editIng. Logo needs to be in jpg  or eps format and sent as attachment. Some logos require a vector file.

Plaques for Personalization. We ship from various locations. Some locations do NOT personalize and we get around this problem by having plaques made and mailed to you (from Florida). Adhering a plaque is super easy. You will always get a proof which you need to approve before we proceed. So check your email. Other personalization (not all) requires your approval to proceed.

Piggy Banks MADE IN USA:  Even though our traditional ceramic piggy banks are kilned in China, we claim them as MADE IN USA. Car companies do the same. They use parts from elsewhere but assemble in US. All of the painting, decorating and personalizing of our piggy banks is done in the United States. That's why shipping takes 5-7 business days. We create the piggy bank AFTER we receive your order so we can personalize it as you wish. If it's an artist original, you can change brown hair to blonde. Blue eyes to brown. Red background to green. etc. You can also specify style of eyes. Your piggy bank will be created just for you....not off the shelf.

Large Piggy Banks. One of our frustrations is customers who compare our price to another vendor. Our large piggy bank measures NINE inches. Other sites go as small as FIVE inches and call the pig large. If you compare price, be certain to check size of pigs you are comparing.

Fund Raisers: Our piggy banks have helped raise money many times. Here's 3 true stories.

#1 A Hospital in State of Washington wanted expensive new equipment. They purchased SIXTY of our artist original piggy banks. No two pigs were the same design. Each pig was given to a department throughout the hospital. Each department created a "home" for their pig. Very creative. Every Thursday at 10 AM for 10 weeks someone from each department took their pig to the hospital lobby where they emptied their pig's stash in a trough. Newspaper followed campaign. In 8 weeks TWICE their fundraising goal had been made! Wow!

#2 United Way purchased 20 of our ceramic piggy banks in various colors. Each pig was the centerpiece of a table. Attendees were asked to empty their pockets and put money in the pig on their table. They made lots of money AND they then auctioned off each of the 20 piggy banks. They made more money than the pigs cost.

#3 Casino purchased different sizes, different colors of piggy banks. Casino placed a bill in each pig. Some pigs only had $1...other pigs more...even $100. Lottery tickets were sold and the winner selected the bank they wanted. The pig was broken and the money was given. Doing this was their most successful contest and have done it several times.

Do banks have stoppers?  Yes, you can retrieve money from all banks we sell. If you don't want access to your savings, use Craxy Glue on the stopper. You'll then have to break pig to retrieve money.

What is size of slots on ceramic piggy banks?  The large 9 inch pig has a money slot that measures 1-1/2 inch.  The XXL 13 inch pig has a money slot that measures 1-3/4 inch.
