How can I track the status of my order?
Once an order is placed, you will recieve an email confirming your order.
You will also be emailed when your item has shipped. In the event that your items are shipped
in multiple shipments (as in the case of backordered items or drop-shipped items), you will be
notified by email for each subsequent shipment.
When available, the tracking number for the package carrier will be included in your email
notification. If the tracking number field is blank in your email, it is because the particular
carrier does not provide tracking service.
If you would like to check the status of an order that has not yet left our warehouse, please

Will you charge sales tax on my order?
Orders placed within Washington state will have applicable state and local taxes added to the order total.
The Federal Internet tax moratorium bars the imposition of new taxes on the Internet itself and things
like Internet access services. It doesn't change the applicability of state and local taxes to sales
transactions. Accordingly, Daniel Smith collects such taxes on the sale of merchandise online, based on rates
and rules applicable to orders placed from within the state of Washington. These tax rates and rules can change
at any time.
Internet Tax Freedom Act (ITFA) does not preclude sales and use taxes on any and all commerce conducted over
the Internet. State and local governments are allowed to impose sales and use taxes on all such electronic sales,
provided that the tax (and its rate) are the same as that which would be imposed on the transactions if they
were conducted in a more traditional manner, such as over the phone or through mail order.
Order totals calculated during checkout show estimated tax. Actual final tax amounts appear on the order
invoice, based on tax rates and rules applicable when the order is shipped.

Verisign Secure Site Seal on the Check Out page.
Internet Explorer and Netscape browsers indicate whether SSL is enabled by displaying a padlock icon in the
bottom of the browser window. (In Internet Explorer this padlock is on the right whereas in Netscape this padlock
is on the left).

or Control-click (Mac) your mouse. A menu appears. In the menu click the Properties option. A dialogue box appears
with a field called "Connection". The Connection field indicates that SSL encryption is enabled. Note: On some
occasions the Connection field will say "Not encrypted." This is because the page you are on will not be passing
any sensitive information (name, address, credit card number, etc.) over the internet. This is typically the case
for our product pages.
