- If you would like to order a Spectra sundial and know which direction
it should face and where it is going to be located, simply scroll
down this page and use the PayPal windows and buy button to enter
our secure payment and ordering process. When we get your order,
Spectra designer and maker Jim Tallman will contact you personally
via email to confirm your wishes before creating your custom
Spectra sundial. If you are giving the dial as a gift and you
are unsure of the location details, or if you would like to give
your recipient(s) the experience of having a custom sundial made
just for them, you can buy
a sundial gift certificate so your gift recipient(s) can
contact Jim directly and have their new sundial specifically
designed for their location and handcrafted according to their
wishes at a later date. Alternatively, if you don't like to do
credit card transactions on the internet, you can download a
Spectra sundial order form, fill
it out, and send us a check (drawn on a US bank) in the mail.
-
- If you don't have much time and need
the gift sooner than it can be personalized and custom made for
your recipient, you can either order a Spectra
sundial gift certificate and let them have the fun of participating
in the design process to have it made however they would like
it, or you can go ahead and order the dial yourself to get it
underway now and have it made with your chosen inscription
and details. If that is how you would like to proceed, write
to us directly and tell us your wishes after you place the
order and we will put your sundial gift in the production queue
and send you a special certificate via email that you can print
out immediately. The certificate shows a picture of the Spectra
and says that it is underway in our studio and will be arriving
soon...then you will have something to give them when you need
it, and they will have something to look forward to that will
arrive later when it is finished.

- The Spectra sundial currently retails
for $345.00 (USD) and is available
for delivery worldwide. International currency conversion is
conveniently handled during the ordering process by PayPal. You
can use your regular credit card to order a Spectra sundial -
you do not need to have a PayPal account - just click the buy
button below and check out as a guest if you don't have a PayPal
account. The standard shipping charge of $20.00 (USD) for continental
US delivery of your Spectra sundial will be automatically added
to your total charge amount during checkout, and shipping charges
on international orders will vary. If you order a Spectra for
international delivery, let us know where it is going and we
will simply email you a PayPal request for payment to cover any
additional shipping charges.
-
- Indicate below whether your new sundial
should face due W, SW, S, SE, or E. If you are not sure of the
direction of your chosen window, that's OK...just choose "special
direction" and we will figure it out for you during the
design process - you can find out how we do that further down
this page. Your Spectra sundial will be made for the shipping
address you provide during the secure payment process unless
you specify otherwise. At the end of the ordering process you
will be given an opportunity to request any additional options
you would like to include such as an inscription and date line.
Be sure to give us a shipping address, and feel free to email
us after you place your order to discuss personalizing your
sundial.

- Whether or not you choose to add
a special inscription
or date line, you will receive a proof drawing of the proposed
layout design directly via email for your review and approval
prior to completion. Jim likes to make personal contact with
each of his clients...after all, he will be making something
very special for you. The Spectra sundial has been in continual
production since 2002, and over those years Jim Tallman has personally
handcrafted and shipped his sundials to customers all over the
world. Many of them have written back to Jim to express their
appreciation, and you can read some of the things they had to
say on the Spectra sundial comments
page.

- If you need a non-standard special
direction Spectra let us know - we can use satellite imagery
to have a look at your home and make the dial to match the direction
of your chosen window. If your home does not show up in Google
Earth and you need an accurate placement you will need to download
our Sundial Positioning Form - by
marking the position of a simple string line shadow on this form
at any exact time and date, you will easily be able to supply
us with all of the information we need to be able to make your
Spectra sundial for whatever special direction you may desire.
Mail or fax the form to us separately and we'll do the calculation
at no extra charge, but bear in mind that the time necessary
to perform this extra calculation will likely move the delivery
date back on the finished dial.
-
- Upon confirmation of your order Spectra
designer Jim Tallman will personally calculate, design and handcraft
your new Spectra sundial specifically for your location and for
the direction you would like it to face. We will normally ship
your new one-of-a-kind, custom signature sundial within 2-4 weeks
on average, but during busy periods in Jim's studio it may take
a little longer. Bear in mind that the time it takes Jim to individually
handcraft his custom sundials may vary during occasional high
activity periods or when lots of Spectra orders or gift certificate
redemptions arrive all at once.
-
- If you want to order a gift and the
special day is fast approaching let
us know - Jim tries to reserve time in his personal production
schedule to accomodate rush orders and will do everything possible
to make sure you will have your gift in time for the special
occasion. When your new custom sundial is finished we will notify
you when it ships, and US customers will typically receive their
new Spectra sundial about 2-3 business days after that. Overseas
international shipping may take a week to 10 days, depending
on how fast the package clears customs upon entry to your country.
-
- Any import taxes or customs duty
levied by foreign destination countries are the responsibility
of the customer and may need to be paid at the time of delivery.
We have no way of predicting the current taxation policies and
rates for foreign countries, though many countries that have
trade agreements with the US do not tax imports from the United
States.
