Shipping

Please check the shipping address listed in your paypal transaction as you check out! If that address is wrong contact me ASAP since I pack and ship orders quickly and I do it based on the address paypal gives me. I prefer you have a confirmed paypal address since unconfirmed addresses mean I need to confirm the shipping address with you (this takes time and can delay shipping.) If you get an e-mail from me with a subject like Re: Payment received from your e-mail@your e-mail.com it is me trying to confirm something about your order before I can ship, please open it and respond if you want your order shipped asap.

I do not earn money on the shipping. The paypal calculator is not very flexible so if it over charges you for shipping, I will refund the difference. There is a place on paypal where you can add instructions about shipping (for instance if the shipping address is a business address according to UPS/Fed Ex it might allow me to save you money on shipping for certain products if I know about it, otherwise I have to assume residential shipping. If you add your phone number there I can use your phone number if I ship via Fed Ex for certain products and they can call you if there is an issue with delivery.)

If Paypal doesn't charge you for shipping, it is probably because you are in another country or someplace I don't normally ship to, I will be contacting you about it since I will need to find out the shipping costs to your location and send you an invoice for the shipping or refund your order if I can not ship to you or if you don't want to pay the shipping. I normally Sell in the USA but have occasionally shipped packages internationally.

Plants and Fish I only sell in Florida at this time and I am not set up to ship fish yet.

Return and Refund Policy

I try very hard to quickly answer questions about products before the sale. If you are uncertain about a product please ask, I want to make sure that what you buy is what you need and what will actually work for you.

If you buy a product and change your mind about it later and want to return it, I will have to charge a re-stocking fee and I can only accept returns on unused items. I can only make refunds for 60 days after the purchase through paypal. I do not refund the shipping or pay return shipping unless the reason for the return is on my end.

Please contact me for instructions before returning anything. If I'm not expecting something to come back, I won't know what to do with it if it actually makes it to me. Some packages are shipped direct from the manufacturer and simply mailing something back to them won't get you a refund.

If there is a problem with a product, please contact me so we can work something out. Some items are covered by warranty.

Weather

While this is perhaps not the same as a garden Camera. It seemed the most appropriate place to put it. Now this particular page is still under construction so bear with me. I’m gonna try to get stuff posting to it asap but I’ll be refining the program as I go.

I hope to get some graphs to upload to here regularly so you can see the temperatures moving and compare the two different system water temperatures over time in relation to the air temperatures.

    Hi TC,

    Very interested in how you implemented the weather station stuff as well as the cameras on a web page. I would like to do something very similar.

    Opps! Just found your write up on your weather station. Could you talk more about how you implemented the weather station software and how you got your cameras into a web page. I am working on trying to get a wireless IP camera going. The camera is a Linksys Model WVC54GC.

    Hay there Bob.
    For my duck tv cam, it’s just a Trendnet IP cam so it is hooked directly to my router. I set it up so that you can view it without needing to log in. I also set up a ddns account for it so I was able to use an iframe tag to insert it into my blog page.

    I also used an iframe to insert the htm page of the weather station data logger into my web site. The weather station is hooked up to a spare computer and I’m using the source forge weather station data logger to bring the data from the weather station into the computer. Then I set it up with a ftp account to my web host for uploading the htm page it creates into a folder on my host. Finally, I still need to get another ftp program that will periodically upload the graph onto my host automatically as I’m currently just doing that manually. The weather station is an oregon scientific WMR100NA that came with an outdoor temp/humidity sensor, wind sensor and rain sensor. I added two floating water temperature sensors for my fish tanks.

    I hope to add some more cameras soon but they will probably be cctv cameras hooked directly to the computer that is running the weather station so I’ll have to learn how to make that work myself.
