We recommend using PayPal, Visa, or Mastercard. After you place an order, a representative will contact you with the required tools for measurement if needed. Once the measurements are assessed we will send you the dimensions of the mantel or other products. After your approval of the dimensions you can choose to pay with PayPal, call us with a Visa or Mastercard payment, or arrange another form of payment. Many homebuilders prefer to mail a check which is no problem. If you wish to mail a check we will proceed with the order and wait for reception of your check. Once the check is received the mantel, mantels, or other products will ship the next day or possibly the same day. Call us if you have any questions about the payment process as we are very flexible.
