If you order by money order, it must be sent in U.S. Funds.

Sorry, but we do not accept personal checks from customers OUTSIDE of the United States.

rule

I live outside the United States. How can I figure out how much it will cost me in my country's currency, so I can determine whether or not the exchange rate is good at this time?

Simple. Use this nifty currency calculator, compliments of Bloomberg: http://www.bloomberg.com/analysis/calculators/currency.html

Back to Questions

rule

Do you accept Pay Pal for payments?

Yes, we do!

Please send an e-mail to getorgnow@charter.net with the details of your order first. We'll then e-mail you a Pay Pal invoice, so you can make your Pay Pal Payment. Our account name is: getorgnow@charter.net

Back to Questions

rule

Your system won't accept my order. How come?

First, be sure you're not including any spaces or dashes in your credit card number. The system will not allow it.

Second, your name and billing address MUST match the name and billing address that appears on your credit card statement exactly, or the system will not accept it.

Third, If you prefer, you can fax your order along with your credit card information to us at 920-206-8694 or mail it to us at:
Get Organized Now!
611 Arlington Way
Watertown WI 53094

Finally, we can try to manually enter your credit card order into our system if you wish. However, for your protection, it would be best for you to send us your credit card information in 2 separate e-mails.

E-MAIL NUMBER 1
In e-mail number one, please include

-- the first half of your credit card number, and
-- your name and address as it appears on your credit card statement. Please include the name of your country.

E-MAIL NUMBER 2
In e-mail number 2 please include
-- the second half of your credit card number, and
-- the expiration date on your credit card

Once we receive your credit card information and your order is approved, we will send you an e-mail order confirmation number and instructions for downloading our product if applicable.

Back to Questions

rule

Why do you need an address if I order a Digital product?

In order to authorize your credit card, our system needs address verification. So, please be sure to always enter your full billing address.

Back to Questions

rule

When I go to your ordering page, I don't see the secure padlock that is supposed to verify that this is a secure ordering process.

You will not see the secure lock UNTIL you get to the page where you enter your credit card information. That is the secure page, and you'll see the padlock in the lower right- hand corner of your screen.

Back to Questions

rule

Will I receive confirmation when I place my order online?

If you ordered online, you should receive an e-mail confirmation shortly after you place your order. If you don't, it's likely your spam filter blocked it from coming through. However, you can email us at getorgnow@charter.net to ensure we received your order if you wish.

Back to Questions

rule

How long does it take to receive my order?

  • Print product orders:

    • For the United States and its territories, 7-10 business days, not including weekends or holidays, from the date you placed your order.

    • For Canada and Mexico, 10-14 business days, not including weekends or holidays, from the date you placed your order.

    • For International orders, 10-20 business days, not including weekends or holidays, from the date you placed your order. Plus, please allow a few additional days delay depending on customs regulations in your country.

  • Digital product orders:

    You will receive an e-mail detailing downloading instructions within 24 hours. You'll then be able to download the product to your computer and begin using it immediately.

I live in the US, I've waited 10 business days (or the comparable timeframe described above for orders outside the US), and I still haven't received my order. Please help.

First, are you sure you ordered a printed product, and not a digital product? If you ordered a digital product, you should have received downloading instructions. If you did not, please email us at getorgnow@charter.net and we'll resend them to you.

If you ordered a printed product, fileWISE or a TuffBagg, it's possible that your order is lost in the mail. Please email us at getorgnow@charter.net and we'll attempt to track it down for you. If, for some reason, we cannot determine where your package is, we'll immediately ship you another.

Back to Questions

rule

I ordered a bunch of products, but didn't receive everything in my shipment. Are the other items coming?

If you ordered an item other than our books, such as a fileWISE system or a TuffBagg, those items will be shipped separately. Since we're resellers of the fileWISE system and TuffBaggs, those are drop shipped from those individual manufacturers. All of your items should arrive within 7-10 business days from the date you placed your order if you live in the United States.

Back to Questions

rule

What method do you use to ship your printed products?

  • For orders within the United States, we use US Priority Mail or FedEx, depending on what products you order.

  • For orders outside the United States, we use Airmail Parcel.

Back to Questions

rule

I live in the US. Why do you require 7-10 business days for my merchandise to arrive?

When we receive orders, they're immediately sent to our fulfillment service for packing and shipping. The fulfillment service receives hundreds of orders each day, and requires a few days to process each order. Orders are handled on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Back to Questions

rule

Do you provide Overnight Delivery?

Sorry, our fulfillment services do not provide Overnight Delivery.

Back to Questions

rule

I live in Wisconsin near your business location. Can I pick up my order to save on shipping and handling charges?

We use several fulfillment services throughout the country. Sorry personal pick up is not available at any of them, and we do not keep an inventory of merchandise at our company office.

I'm not familiar with how your online ordering system works. Can you walk me through it step by step?

  • STEP 1: When you go to our ordering page, simply scroll down, find the item you wish to add to your shopping cart, and click the ADD TO YOUR SHOPPING CART button.

    You'll be directed to a page that asks you to select the region where the merchandise is going to be delivered. You will not be billed shipping charges for digital merchandise, but you need to select the region whether you order print or digital merchandise.

    Just click on the drop down arrow to choose U.S.A., Canada or International. Then click SUBMIT YOUR CHOICE.

    If you're finished shopping at this point, go to STEP 3. If you would like to increase or decrease the quantity of any item, or to completely remove an item from your shopping cart, just click INCREASE, DECREASE or REMOVE.

    Keep in mind, at this point, you're not actually buying anything yet. You can add or remove items as you'd like, without any obligation.

    If you'd like to continue shopping, go to STEP 2.

  • STEP 2: To continue shopping, click CONTINUE SHOPPING. You will then be asked if you'd like to continue shopping in the Get Organized Now!™ Store or the Give to Get Marketing Store. Both stores are ours. Get Organized Now!™ has organizing products to help you organize your home, your office and your life. Give to Get Marketing has marketing products to help you start or grow a business. Both Web sites are owned by Joe and Maria Gracia.

    Continue using this process to add more items to your cart until you're ready to check out.

  • STEP 3: When you're finished shopping, verify that your items and item quantities are correct. Then click CHECK OUT NOW.

  • STEP 4: You'll now go to a page where you'll be asked if the order is shipping to Wisconsin. This is for sales tax purposes.

  • STEP 5: You'll now be prompted to select how you wish to complete your order. Choose one of these methods displayed. Please note: The first four methods are secure order forms which most browsers accept. In the rare instance your browser does not support 128 bit secure transmission, you have the option of selecting standard http methods listed below the first four options.

    I subscribed, but I'm still not receiving your newsletter.

    There are a few typical reasons why you may not be receiving our newsletter as requested:

    1) If you have been receiving our newsletter, and just didn't receive it this past week, perhaps your email inbox was full or perhaps your email provider was experiencing temporary technical difficulties. Before doing anything, wait until next Sunday to see if you receive our next newsletter. If you do, it was obviously just a temporary problem. If you do not, it may be one of the other problems listed below.

    2) You may have a personal spam filter on that is preventing our newsletter from getting through to you. Please check your email filters to ensure you don't have some criteria set up that may be automatically deleting our newsletter or moving our newsletter to another one of your folders, such as your Junk Mail folder. If you discover you do have a personal filter on, please adjust the criteria accordingly so you will begin to receive our newsletters once again. Be sure you're allowing the charter.net and aweber.com domains to get through to you.

    3) Some email services require you to have our email address in your 'White List' of emails you will accept. If this applies to you, please put our email address: getorgnow@getorganizednow.com and the aweber.com domain on your accepted list.

    4) Many email services, in an attempt to combat spam, have their own filters in place. When our newsletter is sent, if your email provider thinks it may be spam, it may be automatically blocked. Please contact your email provider by copying and pasting the letter below and emailing it to them, so that they will consider allowing our emails to get through to you, if this is the case. If they do get back to you telling you they see no reason why our email would not be getting through, please forward their response to us at getorgnow@charter.net

    You READ Finally Organized, Finally Free. Both the home and office version contain thousands of tips to help you get organized. You FILL IN the Easy Organizer. It's a planning tool, filled with forms, to help you manage and store all of your information in one organized place.

    rule

    Can I fill in my Easy Organizer information on my computer?

    We have two versions of the Easy Organizer. You CANNOT fill in the PDF version. However, you CAN fill in the Excel version. If you ordered the PDF version and would like the Excel version instead, just email us at getorgnow@charter.net and we'll email to you complimentary.

    I purchased the printed version of your product, but would love the digital version too. How can I get it and is there an additional charge?

    No problem. Just email us at getorgnow@charter.net (include your order number if you know it) and we'll email you the digital version(s).

    I purchased the digital version of your product, but would prefer the printed version. How can I get it and is there an additional charge?

    Yes, we can simply charge you the difference in price between the digital and printed product, plus shipping and handling, and ship your printed product out.

    Back to Questions

    rule

    What is the difference between the fileWISE product you used to sell, and your new My Oh-So-Organized Filing System?

    First, fileWISE was not our product. Rather, this was a product we were reselling. While fileWISE was a good product, it's no longer available through the manufacturer.

    Maria created this product because 1) fileWISE was no longer available, 2) because fileWISE was too cost prohibitive for many people, AND most importantly, 2) because fileWISE was missing many of the categories she thought should be included.

    The fileWISE product started at $59.95 and cost all the way up to $129.95. That was a bit steep for most of our customers. One of the reasons it was so expensive, was because each of the file categories were listed on large index divider sheets that were inserted into your manila file folders. This was very costly to print and to ship.

    My Oh-So-Organized Filing System comes with labels that you simply peel and stick onto your file folders. It also includes a special section for warranties, plus a bonus Tickler file--neither of which was included in the other manufacturer's product.

    While both products are similar in theory, My Oh-So-Organized Filing System is more complete and user friendly, less expensive and we can ship it out, both in the US and abroad, at reasonable rates.

    Questions Pertaining to Getting Organized

    How can I ask Maria Gracia an organizing question?

    How can I find a professional organizer in my area?

    rule

    How can I ask Maria Gracia an organizing question?

    Since we receive thousands of e-mail messages every day, Maria Gracia cannot respond to individual organizing questions. However, you have two other options:

    a) You can post questions and ideas on the Get Organized Now! Discussion Forum. This way, many people who have similar questions or share mutual views can also benefit as a group.

    b) You can submit a question to our Reader Clinic. However, please note that we can't guarantee that your question will be chosen. If it is, it will appear in a future issue of the Get Organized Now! Newsletter, but we will not be able to give you the date this will happen.

    Back to Questions

    rule

    How can I find a professional organizer in my area?

    We give professional organizers around the world an opportunity to list their businesses on our web site. You can visit our Professional Organizer's Directory to locate professional organizers in your area. Please note that Get Organized Now! simply lists these businesses, and does not endorse one over another. You would be responsible for checking out and choosing an organizer that would be a good fit for you and your situation.
