Frequently Asked Questions

Why do the items in my shopping cart disappear when I leave the computer for more than 10 or 15 minutes?

Shopping carts have what is called a ‘session time’ and this is to keep websites functioning efficiently and to keep customer shopping experience as good as possible without slow downs.  It is easy to avoid losing all the items in your cart if you follow these guidelines:  Firstly, if you are a new customer set up an account, then login before you start shopping.  Similarly if you are an existing customer login before you start shopping each time.
If you need to leave your device for any reason and your cart times out, and items are gone when you return all you then need to do is log back in again and your cart will be there with everything in it as you have left it.  Just remember to login before you start shopping each time, then check your cart to remove anything you no longer want in there.

Is there a way to change information on my account or my password?

Yes!  To change anything just login to your account, and you will see a list appear which has different headings such as Address, Password, Wish List and previous orders.  Just click on these to view or alter the details you need to change.  

How can I contact you?

We have a ‘Contact us’ link on the website where you can send us messages, or you can call us between 9am and 4.00pm weekdays to ask any questions you have.  Alternatively you can email us at [email protected]

Where are you located & are you a shop I can visit?

We are located in Seaford, Victoria on the Mornington Peninsula.  We are not a shop you can visit to shop at direct, however we do offer store pickup for online orders for local customers.  Just select that option at checkout, and we will contact you when your order is ready.  We will email you our address once you place your order.

How do I use the Wishlist?

We have an option to create a wishlist of items you want to keep for future reference or ordering as well as favourite items.  Just login to your account and you will be able to use this feature.  When you view a product you like and wish to add to the list, just look for the little ???? button on the product page, and it will add it to your wishlist.  You can delete items from your wishlist whenever you would like to, and you can transfer items to your shopping cart from there when you need to do that.  We suggest not letting your wishlist become too huge, as there is a limit on how many products it can keep so make sure you keep less than 50 items in it.

Can you let me know when an out of stock product is back in stock?  

Yes!  If there is a product that you want to order that is out of stock, just click the button on the product description page ‘Notify me’ and enter your email address.  As soon as the product is back on the shelves and marked back in stock you will receive an email letting you know so that you can order it.

Do you have a minimum order?

Yes our minimum order is $10.00 not including postage.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept the following payment methods:

  • Mastercard & Visa via eWAY (an Australian secure payment processing system linked to St. George Bank).  1.5% merchant fee is added to credit card payments at checkout.
  • PayPal (in Australian dollars) – Paypal accepts a number of different credit cards including American Express, Visa & Mastercard plus they have an e-cheque system.
  • Direct Bank Deposit (Australia only)
  • International Payments – can be made by eWAY or PayPal for accepted countries.

Is it safe to use my Credit Card at your shop?

Over the Rainbow Pty Ltd uses eWAY (An Australian bank secured payment gateway), and Paypal, which is one of the worlds most recognized & safe methods of credit card payment. All credit card information is transmitted via secure industry standard 1024 bit SSL encryption provided by eWAY and Paypal. Credit card details are used only for processing of payment and are never stored in our database.

I still don't want to put my credit card details over the internet, can I call you with them?

Yes you can call on 03 9785 3800.  Just select “Pay over the Phone” in the payment section when you check-out your order.

How much is shipping?

Shipping is automatically calculated if you use our on-line shop. Occasionally shipping charges may vary from the amount charged at checkout - if this occurs we will contact you to discuss the options.  Please see our shpping info section for more details.

How long does it take for my order to be shipped & why are you not faster with shipping my orders?

We process orders as fast as possible, however we receive between 30 & 50 orders each day, with the many containing many tiny beads, findings and items that have to be checked for quality, counted, weighed, labelled and packed.  This takes a lot of time so we are not like a warehouse where items are already on the shelf ready to send pre-packaged.  We always give an estimated processing time on the banner found at the top of each page of our website.  Processing time can vary between 2-4 business days or more depending on the volume of orders we are receiving – around holidays times and coming up to Christmas, Easter & Mothers Day can be especially busy.  Please check our banner and popup for the current processing time delay.

Also please note that Express Post is a postage method and not a "Rush my Order" selection - we process orders as fast as possible in the order they are received.  If you do have a deadline or need something extra urgently consider selecting the Rush my Order option as well as Express Post on the checkout page – we will then ship within 24 business hours for you.

Queries on other products not stocked?

If you are looking for something that is not listed on the site, you may still email or phone us as we can do our best to locate it for you.

Do you sell at wholesale?

Over the Rainbow is a retail store however we keep our pricing at distributor pricing as we import our own goods & we sell at well below regular retail pricing where possible.  We sell primarily to small business owners, jewellery designers and also to shops, but also to the general public.   Many of our products also have a tiered discounting system built into the pricing structure which give up 10-50% further discount from the base price depending on the product & amount purchased of each item.  In addition we have a loyalty points system (see below).

We are Distributors for TierraCast (tm) Fine Metal Plated Castings and also for Eurotool, Art Institute, ImpressArt, Nunn Design, Beadsmith, Fire Mountain Gems, Grafix, Beadalon, Sculpey, Cernit, Kato, & Staedtler Fimo Soft products.

Do you offer Loyalty Discounts?

Yes!  We offer a Loyalty Discount Program which awards the following discounts to all orders which reach the following cumulative totals within the past 12 month period:  $500 - 5%, $1500 - 7.5%, $2500 - 10%.  Once you reach these totals your discount will be automatically deducted on your next order total at check-out.  Note: Discount apply to products but not to shipping charges.

How does the first time customer 10% discount coupon work?

We offer a 10% storewide discount for first time customers.  Please note that the discount does not apply to purchase of Gift Voucher & can’t be used alongside any other sale discount we are offering.  To redeem your first time discount, just set up an account, log-in and use this coupon code at checkout:  WELCOME10

Can I make changes to my order once it is placed?

Additions, cancellations or alterations to orders are not possible once an order is placed.  This restriction is due to the time consuming process of altering orders which results in order processing being slowed down, so please select carefully at checkout.  If over $10 please contact us as you may be able to place a second order and request it to be combined.  If you request a cancellation there will be a charge deducted to cover merchant fees and admin charges of $3.00.  We can advise if this is possible once you contact us.  Cancellations are only possible within 24 hours of an order being placed.
