Frequently Asked Questions:
How are your products different from those in other stores that may charge a little less?
All of the home accessories on zingthings.com are designed and crafted by hand by us (Sutisa and Dawn) in our studio in Baltimore, Maryland. These items are not mass-produced by cheaper labor in another country and we strive to use the best materials and painting supplies available. Most importantly, these items take a great deal of time to make. By buying from Zing!, you are supporting two U.S. artists who have taken a lot of care to make a quality product. Each craft is delicately sanded, painted, assembled by hand and finished with a coat of varnish to protect it. Each twist in every wire is shaped by us, each facial feature painted with care, assuring subtle differences and making every item its own unique piece of art.

Is my transaction secure?
Zing! takes every reasonable step to protect your information. Zingthings.com is hosted by Yahoo! Merchant Solutions, which uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption when transmitting your checkout payment information. When zingthings.com asks for your credit card number during checkout for payment, it will be SSL encrypted and stored securely on Yahoo's servers. Yahoo! Merchant Solutions is also certified CISP-compliant. Created by Visa and MasterCard, the Cardholder Information Security Program outlines a standard for security procedures for merchants and service providers that store, process, or transmit cardholder data.

If you choose to pay by PayPal, your information is equally safe. PayPal verifies that your internet browser is running Secure Sockets Layer 3.0 or higher and information is protected by SSL with an encryption key length of 128 bits - the highest level commercially available.

I’m a shop owner and want to sell Zing! cards and/or handcrafted home accessories at my store. Do you offer wholesale prices?
Yes, we do! Check us out at wholesalecrafts.com, which will ask you to verify your retail status through a brief application process. More than 100 stores have showcased Zing! products throughout the U.S. during our six years in business. Retailers can also send an email to info@zingthings.com for more information about wholesale opportunities.

Do Zing things make great gifts?
You bet! Zing things are unique and totally different from many of the other "cookie cutter" home accessories out there. Your recipient will be glad that you took the time to find a thoughtful, one-of-a-kind, handcrafted gift that will be the envy of all their friends (or so we hope!).

How can I find out where Zing! products are sold?
Please email us with your city, state and zip and we'll direct you to galleries in your area that carry zingthings. Also, rest assured that you can find our complete line of products right here on zingthings.com.

How can I contact Zing! if I have an immediate question that needs to be answered?
Send an email to info@zingthings.com. We will make every attempt to answer your question by the next business day.

Are your products appropriate for children of all ages?
Our products are not designed to be used as toys. Due to small pieces as well as the occasional use of wire, products are not recommended for children under the age of seven.

Will you give out my name, email address or any other information?
No, we absolutely will not. When you choose to provide us with information about yourself or your organization when using the Site, zingthings.com uses that information solely for the stated purpose for which it invited you to submit such information. Please see our privacy policy for more details. If you sign up for our voluntary email list (coming soon), we will only send you information about Zing-related products and specials.

Does Zing! support any charities?
Zing! has either made a monetary contribution or donated items to the Kennedy Krieger Institute (children with special needs), the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA), the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and a group to end poverty in Kenya. We hope to do more in the coming years as our resources allow.

I’m a Zing! fan, but I’m a little short on cash. Is there any way I can help a couple of sistas out?
Yes — please spread the word about us! If you have a Web site or blog, providing a link to zingthings.com would be greatly appreciated. The more Web sites and links we have pointed at Zing, the higher the placement in Google and other search engines.

Are you two really as nice as you appear in the pictures?
We plead the fifth! But it is our goal to bring Zing! cheer to all of our customers. We realize you have lots of choices out there for greeting cards and handcrafted home accessories and we appreciate your interest in us. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve our business or do things better, please shoot us an email at info@zingthings.com.
