Palestinian vote at U.N. brings recognition, but is a far cry from practical statehood
UNITED NATIONS The United Nations has voted overwhelmingly to recognize a Palestinian state, but the Palestinians still face enormous limitations: They don't control their borders, airspace or trade, they have separate and competing governments in Gaza and the West Bank, and they have no unified army or police.
In an extraordinary lineup of international support, more than two-thirds of the world body's 193 member states approved the resolution upgrading the Palestinians' status from an observer to a nonmember observer state on Thursday. It passed 138-9, with 41 abstentions.
The vote was a victory decades in the making for the Palestinians after years of occupation and war. It was a sharp rebuke for Israel and the United States.
The vote grants Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas an overwhelming international endorsement for his key position: establishment of a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, the territories captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war. A Palestinian flag was quickly unfurled on the floor of the General Assembly, behind the Palestinian delegation, after an electronic screen lit up with the final vote.
Real independence, however, remains an elusive dream until the Palestinians negotiate a peace deal with the Israelis, who warned that the General Assembly action will only delay a lasting solution. Israel still controls the West Bank, east Jerusalem and access to Gaza, and it accused the Palestinians of bypassing negotiations with the campaign to upgrade their U.N. status.
The U.N. action also could help Abbas restore some of his standing, which has been eroded by years of stalemate in peace efforts. His rival, the Hamas militant group, deeply entrenched in Gaza, has seen its popularity rise after it responded with a barrage of rocket fire to an Israeli offensive earlier this month on targets linked to the militants.
In the West Bank city of Ramallah, jubilant Palestinians crowded into the main square, waving Palestinian flags and chanting "God is great!" Hundreds had watched the vote on outdoor screens and televisions, and they hugged, honked their horns and set off fireworks as the final vote was cast.
CBS News correspondent Allen Pizzey reports that, while observer status is still a long way from a full membership at the U.N., seen from Ramallah's Yasser Arafat Square, it seemed a huge step forward.
Long-time Palestinian peace negotiator Hannan Ashrawi told Pizzey that Thursday's vote was all about recognition.
"Getting state status is what empowers the Palestinians, what defines our territory as occupied, what defines our relationships regionally and with the rest of the world and what gives us access to international organizations and agencies," Ashrawi said.
The final tally came after a speech by Abbas in which he called the moment a "last chance" to save the two-state solution.
"The General Assembly is being asked today to issue the birth certificate of Palestine," the Palestinian leader declared.
The United States and Israel immediately criticized the vote.
"Today's unfortunate and counterproductive resolution places further obstacles in the path of peace," U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice said. "Today's grand pronouncements will soon fade and the Palestinian people will wake up tomorrow and find that little about their lives has changed save that the prospects of a durable peace have only receded."
CBS News correspondent Margaret Brennan says there are now concerns that the U.S. Congress will cut off funds to Abbas' Palestinian Authority as punishment. The U.S. gave $495 million in aid last year to help keep the peaceful government in power. The State Department believes that money should continue.
Calling the vote "meaningless," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Abbas of spreading "mendacious propaganda" against Israel in a speech he rejected as "defamatory and venomous."
"The resolution in the U.N. today won't change anything on the ground," Netanyahu said. "It won't advance the establishment of a Palestinian state, but rather, put it further off."
With most U.N. members sympathetic to the Palestinians, there had been no doubt the resolution would be approved. A state of Palestine has already been recognized by 132 countries, and the Palestinians have 80 embassies and 40 representative offices around the world, according to the Palestinian Foreign Ministry.
Still, the Palestinians lobbied hard for Western support, winning over key European countries including France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden and Ireland, as well as Japan and New Zealand. Germany and Britain were among the many Western nations that abstained.
Joining the United States and Israel in voting "no" were Canada, the Czech Republic, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau and Panama.
"We will act responsibly and positively in our next steps," he said.
In a departure from its previous opposition, Hamas, which refuses to recognize Israel, said it wouldn't interfere with the U.N. bid for statehood, and its supporters joined some of the celebrations Thursday.
With its newly enhanced status, the Palestinians can now gain access to U.N. agencies and international bodies, most significantly the International Criminal Court, which could become a springboard for going after Israel for alleged war crimes or its ongoing settlement building on war-won land.
However, in the run-up to the U.N. vote, Abbas signaled that he wants recognition to give him leverage in future talks with Israel, and not as a tool for confronting or delegitimizing Israel, as Israeli leaders have claimed.
Speaking stridently at times Thursday, Abbas accused the Israelis of "colonial occupation" that institutionalizes racism and charged that the Jewish state is continuing to perpetuate "war crimes."
Still, he said the Palestinians did not come to terminate "what remains of the negotiations process" but to try "to breathe new life into the negotiations" and achieve an independent state.
The Palestinians turned to the General Assembly after being stymied for full membership last year, when the United States announced it would veto their bid for full U.N. membership until there is a peace deal with Israel. Abbas made clear that this remains the Palestinians' ultimate goal hopefully soon.
Full membership requires Security Council approval, with no vetoes. The non-member observer state status only required a majority vote of the General Assembly.
The vote granted the Palestinians the same status at the U.N. as the Vatican, and they will keep their seat next to the Holy See in the General Assembly chamber.
The historic vote came 65 years to the day after the U.N. General Assembly voted in 1947 to divide Palestine into two states, one for Jews and one for Arabs. Israel became a state but the Palestinians rejected the partition plan, and decades of tension and violence have followed.

The list of labs on the front page is pretty long. Perhaps we should go to a map of labs (not users) as Tom suggested? Can we get a map that looks relatively professional and to which labs can be added easily?
Relevant links
- Google Maps API
- Frappr - create your own custom map (from Ilya)
- Yahoo Maps (from John ... not sure this is the right link)
- Austin 15:27, 7 July 2006 (EDT): I'm not sure how a map would work that well for the labs we have. What do we do for the 16 labs at MIT? Having 16 points pretty much exactly on top of each other probably doesn't work well for any of these maps. Having a map for the different schools might be good, but at the lab level, I'm not sure a map makes sense.
- RS 15:42, 7 July 2006 (EDT): Good point, perhaps each institution on the map should have a call out box (perhaps one that only appears when you hover over it with the cursor) that lists the labs at that institution.
- User:Jamesh008 21:18, 18 October 2006 (GMT): I like the map idea. How quickly are labs being added?
- Reshma 17:58, 24 October 2006 (EDT): Not entirely sure. Perhaps once a week or so? I think everyone likes the map idea, it just needs to move up the priority queue to get implemented.
- Liam Purdy 19:15, 20 January 2015 (EST):Liam Purdy first post
Labs on Front Page
Sri Kosuri 19:07, 15 May 2006 (EDT):I think we should remove labs that do not have active sites in development on OWW off the front page. We can place a link for other labs in development linked off the front page. There could be a requirement of substantial content, which could be fulfilled by a number of means:
- recent editing of the site
- more than one page of content, ie., not just a link to their static website.
- Jennyn 19:18, 15 May 2006 (EDT): I think that is good --it may encourage labs to create a wiki page rather than have their static site linked to it. I think a long time ago we removed the UT labs that did not have wikis.
- Kathleen 19:37, 15 May 2006 (EDT): Can we couple this with some sort of email to the person who set up the link to the front page in the first place? If we let them know that their link is being removed from the front page, maybe it will renew interest in developing their lab site.
- Sri Kosuri 19:39, 15 May 2006 (EDT): Agreed, any removal from the front page will be preceded by a notice to the editors of the particular page, that the site is being moved.. if they would like any help on getting started, to please let us know, et cetera.
- User:Jamesh008 21:18, 18 October 2006 (GMT):As above, how quickly are labs being added?
- Austin 17:10, 24 March 2006 (EST): What does need to be considered is where the "support OWW" logos should be placed. I'd vote not on the front page but it should either be easily accessible from the front page to get to the logos or in the sidebar or bottom on every page.
- Jennyn 18:20, 24 March 2006 (EST): Could we put one of the banners in the space under toolbox and link it to the Support OWW site?
- Jennyn 22:40, 23 March 2006 (EST): What happened to the favicon?
- Sri Kosuri 09:02, 24 March 2006 (EST): The favicon still shows up for me? Maybe you need to clear your cache?
- Jennyn 10:26, 24 March 2006 (EST): I see the W, but what happened to the handshake?
- Austin 10:45, 24 March 2006 (EST): The handshake is there and has been ever since the moment you put it up on the wiki. So as Sri said, clear your cache.
- Jennyn 14:33, 24 March 2006 (EST): Gotcha.
- Kathleen 09:11, 30 March 2006 (EST):No matter what I do in Safari (clear the cache; remove the OWW bookmark, quit, and restart), I can't get the favicon to show up. Works fine in Firefox on my computer. Not sure if I'm missing something obvious or if this is an actual issue, but figured I'd bring it up in case anyone had any suggestions.
- Jgritton 12:20, 30 March 2006 (EST): I have the same issue in Safari. Works OK in Firefox.
- Austin 12:28, 30 March 2006 (EST): From a google search (I haven't tested) -- http://www.askdavetaylor.com/why_doesnt_safari_show_me_favicons_any_more.html
- Kathleen 18:32, 21 March 2006 (EST): Changed "About" to "Community", but now the word is too long so it falls below the icon. Any saucy way to fix this so it looks like Main Page v2?
Looking Back
- Jennyn 01:18, 18 March 2006 (EST): Wow, I was just browsing at the Main Page history, and realized that OWW has been through a LOT of changes! I look back at Sept. 8, and see that Suggs lab was the only outside-MIT lab. Just wanted to share how proud I am to be a part of OWW --how it fosters collaboration and how it has networked universities from all over the world to a common ground for sharing information. Imagine next year?!
Icons added
- Jennyn 12:56, 16 March 2006 (EST): I added some baby icons to the sidebar for looks. That was too much fun. I need to change my major to pixel-art or something.
- Austin 13:29, 16 March 2006 (EST): Can you create a favicon.ico icon probably based on the OWW logo for the browser's url bar to replace the current W?
- Jennyn 14:15, 16 March 2006 (EST): What about this?
- Austin 15:01, 16 March 2006 (EST): Looks nice but I don't know about the box around the outside.
- Jennyn 15:15, 16 March 2006 (EST): This can work, too.
- BC 14:52, 13 March 2006 (EST):I was wondering if we should add some sort of small title to the highlights bar at the top of the main page. If you are a new user/visitor it might not be that clear what these items are exactly.
- Jennyn 15:16, 13 March 2006 (EST): I made a small title, but not sure if it's too small or not.
- BC 20:42, 14 March 2006 (EST): What do people think about the community news section at the bottom of the page?. It looks somewhat bare and I'm not even sure how often people scroll down and see it. Maybe the content of community news should on a new page and linked to from the highlights bar and the community portal?
- Kathleen 20:50, 14 March 2006 (EST): I agree that it should be it's own page and the link to it can be either in the highlights section or maybe even in the navigation sidebar. I often forget it is there and rarely scroll down. Good call BC!
- Jennyn 22:19, 14 March 2006 (EST): To keep everything pretty on the top highlights bar, what about the idea of making all the icons static. For instance: Getting Started, Community Portal, Community News/Highlights, and Recent changes. And each of those lead to their respective pages. Getting Started and Recent Changes are already defaults there. Just thought we could make the middle two into defaults, too. We can also update the description at the bottom so that people will know when there's a change.
- BC 22:34, 14 March 2006 (EST): I like this approach, it also takes care of my earlier concern that there aren't visual or written cues that all these items are "highlights".
- Jasonk 23:08, 14 March 2006 (EST): One issue with this is that we lose the highlights (when I say highlights I mean highlighted science pages on the site, not links to recent changes or getting started) being something which is featured on the front page directly -- now they would be on a seperate page and thus be less likely to be hit by people visiting the homepage. i like the highlights on the front page directly because:
- It creates incentive for people to make nice pages ("i'll be linked on the frontpage and get my work noticed")
- It enables people to discover great content on the site.
- I think the highlights will lose some of their potency if they move to a subpage. One option would be to move getting started and what's new into one of the columns but give them icons so they can be more easily noticed. Then the top bar could be dedicated to rotating highlights that change each month rather than just being a menu bar type thing.
- Jasonk 23:08, 14 March 2006 (EST): One issue with this is that we lose the highlights (when I say highlights I mean highlighted science pages on the site, not links to recent changes or getting started) being something which is featured on the front page directly -- now they would be on a seperate page and thus be less likely to be hit by people visiting the homepage. i like the highlights on the front page directly because:
- Jennyn 23:51, 14 March 2006 (EST): I like this idea better. Good point, Jason. I'll make a bitty icon for the getting started and move it to the top of the column.
- Jennyn 14:45, 15 March 2006 (EST): I have made baby icons for Getting Started and Recent Changes in the META section. John, when you update highlights, you are free to change ALL FOUR icons.
- --Johncumbers 08:35, 20 March 2006 (EST) ok cheers, will do
Changing Discussion Module
- Jennyn 13:56, 12 March 2006 (EST): I was thinking about changing the Discussion module to something like In the News, Support OWW, or something that can utilize that space since we want to use the Community Portal as our main source of discussion info. Mentioning where we are in the news can spread more publicity and in turn make it easier to recruit new labs in joining. Going along with Jason's idea about posting a small image so that other labs can paste it on their lab websites, etc. saying "Join OWW" similar to the "I support PLoS" image to further recruit members. Let me know your thoughts.
- BC 16:20, 12 March 2006 (EST):I'm in favor of removing the discussion section from the main page. I like having the support OWW on the page somewhere. Another thing that we could put up if we want to fill space might be some statistics such as total number of pages (48,406) and number of users. This would only work if there were automatic ways to generate these figures either using magic words or however the Special:Statistics page is generated. As long as these stats look impressive they might be good advertizing on the main page.
- Jasonk 23:56, 12 March 2006 (EST): agree with removing it for the time being. But would like to see it come back in the future to highlight scientific discussions occuring, not OWW-specific stuff. (I realize that's down the road, but just wanted to mention it).
- Jennyn 21:57, 12 March 2006 (EST): What about something like these? We can also make horizontal banners. Please comment on them here
I changed back to the old format for individuals since with each person's name listed it was too long a list for the main page I think. Please chime in if you think this is wrong. In general, I think the policy for the main page should be to let individual instances of things pile up until there are too many, and then start to group them. For instance, will likely need to move to institution links rather than lab links soon, see Main Page v2. --JK
- I'm trying to figure out what we want these pages to be. I think the Materials page is good in that it outlines recipes and info for things that most labs use. However, the Endy lab restriction enzyme list is there. Does this belong here? I think we want some easy way for people to find out if another lab has a restriction enzyme (or other material) they need in a pinch, but realistically you aren't going to go to another institution to borrow it. Same goes for (most) equipment. Also, I noticed some of the computing resources are MIT-specific. Does it make sense to separate some of these resources onto institute-specific pages to clean things up a bit?--Kathleen 16:36, 2 Dec 2005 (EST)
Lab Listings
- The list for labs on the front page is getting a little long. I was wondering what people would think if we removed from the front page those labs that are still just developing their wiki. I think this would highlight those labs that are participitating a lot, while still giving an opportunity for labs still getting off the ground. What do people think? --Sri Kosuri 15:55, 7 Nov 2005 (EST)
- So at what point does a lab earn the "right" to be featured on the front page, and can a lab be removed if they don't meet their "quota" of edits? How many pipet points do I need to accumulate to get my personal page linked on the front page? Maybe a better solution would be to have institutions/universities linked on the front page and links to individual lab pages on institution/university-specific pages. Potentially, "free agents" (or those not specifically associated with a particular lab) could also be included on the institution/university page. This would give some current "orphans" a home so others can find their pages and should help to clean up the front page a bit. --Kathleen 20:59, 7 Nov 2005 (EST)
- I like that idea (institution home pages) in the long term, however I wonder if there is enough mass to create portals for each school currently. I think sharing the same space is also useful for encouraging contributing to shared resources. That said, it is a little crowded, I think we could at least require that labs have an actual wiki to be linked to from the homepage (rather than just a link to their lab website). --JK
- I actually think the current format is great. It doesn't seem crowded at all to me and I'd rather be able to see all the labs at a glance. If someone wants to make it multiple columns to even it out a bit with the other ones, then that could increase aesthetics. The idea of linking to university pages is unnecessary at this point, although having a page for each university could still be useful. I also agree that linking to labs that don't even have a page on the wiki seems a bit silly (seems to be 2 such labs at this point). --Austin 09:16, 8 Nov 2005 (EST)
I am removing the links off the frontpage to offsite webpages. Even putting up something as simple as the Hu Lab site will be sufficient for now to have front page access. --Sri Kosuri 06:29, 26 Nov 2005 (EST)
- The list of groups on the main page is already pretty long, and the current format is likely to get unwieldy as new labs (like ours!) are added. It also relies heavily on name recognition (i.e., "I am looking for the Silver Lab") and is not very conducive to searching for particular types of information (i.e., "I am looking for resources related to Systems Biology"). How about breaking it up into "Labs by Institution" and "Labs by Research Interest". Here is an example (Categories would link to a page listing labs and other resources that fit):
Labs by Institution
IISc, Bangalore
Texas A&M
UC Berkeley
University of Chicago
University of Delaware
UI Urbana-Champaign
UT Austin
Labs by Research Interest
Cell Biology
Synthetic Biology
Systems Biology
Protein Structure and Function
RNA Structure and Function
Biological Chemistry
Dstrick 12:39, 16 December 2005 (EST)
- Hey Devin, this is a great idea. Check out the Main Page v2 site maybe you (and others) could start making those changes there. --Sri Kosuri 14:57, 16 December 2005 (EST)
- I went ahead and made these changes to the v2 page. I am not sure what the right categories are for Research Interests, or who belongs in what category. I hope that people who have clearer ideas about this will make the needed changes. --Devin 12:05, 19 December 2005 (EST)
- I think that organizing labs by research interest can get a bit sticky. I don't like labels in general, and it seems like everyone falls into a new "category" every 5 years or so. It may be best to set up a few categories (maybe just those you want to put your lab into) and let other labs put themselves into categories on their own and add new categories as they deem appropriate.--Kathleen 12:29, 19 December 2005 (EST)
- I also don't think organizing by research category will be very easy. For me, having a direct list of labs on the front page is the most clean-cut organization (or maybe only by schools if there really get to be too many). If you want to know about labs that work on biochemistry, why not just do a search for biochemistry? This lets labs use any arbitrary keywords that they want on their pages instead of us specifying the categories that labs should fit into. The only real benefit of not just using the search button for everything (e.g. enter "Silver lab" instead of linking to it all) is for people who are browsing and are just curious. I would suggest that anyone who cares about biochemistry knows that they care about biochemistry and so can easily enter that search term in the box. People may not know all the schools or labs at those schools on OWW so cannot easily search for those and therefore they must be browsable in this format. --Austin 13:15, 19 December 2005 (EST)
- Another suggestion is to create a single page where all labs have a 2 sentence description of themselves. Then anyone who just'd like an overview of the labs can look at this page. --Austin 13:15, 19 December 2005 (EST)
- I like this idea, especially if we separate labs by university. It may help to bring a sense of cross-institution community to OWW once there are too many groups to be handled by a front-page listing.--Kathleen 13:30, 19 December 2005 (EST)
- I think all these are good suggestions, and I especially agree that putting labs into categories is a sticky topic. I think the way to deal with this is to create the categories organically over time ather than by fiat at the beginning and prune and combine them as needed. (As I said, mine are only suggestions.) I would also argue that "by institution" is an even more artificial grouping than "by research" and perhaps preferable only in its concreteness. It seems to me that the strength of the wiki approach is that it allows us all to tailor our web presence such that we cluster ourselves more naturally than institutional affiliation allows. --Devin
- I agree with Devin. One additional thing that is nice of institutional groupings though is the ability to talk about community resources (clusters, equipment, etc). --Sri Kosuri 22:14, 20 December 2005 (EST)
OWW Description
I started a discussion on the ideas page to discuss possible changes to the description at the top of the page. Please post your comments there. --Sri Kosuri 17:50, 17 Sep 2005 (EDT)
OpenWetWare Front Page
I think this page has all kinds of awesome uses. We should try and make it good enough that other labs use this as their day-to-day front page and their "lab" front page is just for the rest of the world to see what they are up to. Some ideas:
- help section
- points to info for getting started on editing the wiki
- groups section
- lists the various front pages of the participating groups
- shared technical stuff
- protocols, equip, strains, etc.
- news section
- place to post announcements, i.e. "4 new papers from Sauer lab here are the links", "we added a new group check out the BioEnergy page they want new members!", that sort of thing.
Basically if we set the standard of a shared front door (back door?) we are way more likely to get collaborations. --Jasonk 20:20, 22 Jun 2005 (EDT)
We are going to reorganize this page. This is going to become a replacement for the lab website. The overall structure is going to be place at Main Page v2. Here where ideas for the new structure of our Wiki are being discussed.
We're trying to decide whether or not to make this wiki world-writable (it is currently only world-readable). If you have any strong feelings or thoughts on this matter, please let us know.
After much discussion, we decided on the following plan. We are going to continue to make the wiki writable to registered members of the MIT community. After population of things such as the protocols section and other information, we will move towards making a sister site that will be world writable.
Thanks for your patience.
What's drawing the best and the brightest in science to synthetic biology?
Re: Feature article on synthetic biology for ASM's Microbe magazine:
I'd like some short comments on why synthetic biology is drawing young scientists in --the excitement of it. I'd also like to know which discipline you come from (engineering, microbiology, biochemistry, etc.) This should be of interest to the folks at ASM. Surprisingly, we haven't had a Feature article on synthetic biology until now and I'd like to make mine as comprehensive as possible.
You can put the comments on my page or e-mail them them directly to me.

If you placed your order between the 15th of Nov and Dec 6th, your order will ship by the estimated lead time shown when your order was placed which may be different than the current lead time. Please message us for questions.
General times are provided below. PLEASE SEE INDIVIDUAL LISTINGS FOR THE MOST UP TO DATE LEAD TIMES. They are shown below the "add to cart" button on listings. These are estimates and may vary slightly on either side of the estimate (+/- 1-3 business days). As items are made/personalized to order we allow a range in case of unexpected delays (ex; stain takes longer to dry than expected). If you're placing an order that is needed very close to the estimated delivery date, please contact us to ensure we know when it's needed by and can accommodate your need.
Donut stands; 2-4 business days for most colors and quantities. If ordering a color/quantity we don't have ready to seal/ship we will contact you with a shipping estimate.

Don't see what you're looking for? Shoot us an email with what you're wanting to order (and need by date if needed by specific date).
Please note these are estimates only. Most items ship USPS and UPS and generally take 2-6 days to deliver, once shipped, as long as the carrier doesn't have delays. Once an item is shipped we are not responsible for delivery times as that is completely out of our control. If your need by date is close to the estimated shipping date we STRONGLY recommend contacting us prior to placing your order to ensure it ships with enough time in case of carrier delays.
If you are placing a large order ($700+) please contact us prior to placing your order with the items you are wanting, we are happy to offer a discount. Please note larger orders may add additional lead time to the order to process depending on the quantity and type of item being ordered (hand painted items will take longer!). Discounts will vary by item and quantity desired but range 5-10% unless 20 or more of the same item are ordered (same size/color/etc), in which we can offer larger "bulk" discounts. Sorry, we do NOT offer "wholesale" pricing due to the nature of our items being hand made and hand painted.
We do offer RUSH options to make/ship out sooner. It depends on our schedule and the item, quantity, color and your location. There may be an additional cost to "rush" the order, depending on the item, as it does require additional time in the day outside of normal business hours to get those orders made. Message us through our contact form if you are interested. To expedite your request, please include any needed information (ex; item, size (if applicable), color (if applicable) and full shipping address it will be shipped to).
NOTE: RUSH ORDERS do not qualify for current discounts offered.
♥We generally ship USPS and UPS. Delivery usually takes 2-6 days for UPS and 3-7 days for USPS* Want a specific carrier? Message us PRIOR to ordering as we'll have to set that up for you. Please allow extra time during holidays for delivery.
♥We are currently not offering international shipping. Sorry!
♥Some items may not be available to ship outside of Contiguous US. If an item is not available to ship outside of Contiguous US, please contact us and we can set up a listing with appropriate added shipping charges. Please understand that we are not responsible for delays in shipping due to carrier delays as we cannot deliver the package ourselves.
♥Please understand that we cannot guarantee delivery estimates. These are provided by the carriers and are 100% out of our control. We are not able to issue refunds/discounts/returns/exchanges if an item arrives later than expected due to carrier delays. Our lead times posted for our shipment dates do vary by 1-3 business days on either side. If you need a guaranteed ship by date please contact us before placing the order so we can ensure we can accommodate a specific shipping date.
♥We do our best to safely and securely package and ship your order and do so correctly. In the rare occurrences that an incorrect order or damaged item is received please;
1. Contact us within 48 hours of delivery.
2. Take photos of the item received, the box it was shipped in (and any up close if there's damage to the box), and the packing materials it was shipped with. We will need these to file a claim with the carrier.
3. Hold on to any damaged items AND packaging for 14 days in case of needed pick up to process a shipping claim. DO NOT file a claim. We will take care of that* (applying for a claim on your end with the carrier will result in us not being able to proceed with a replacement from our shop*)
4. We will do our best to replace your item ASAP.
Want to return an item as it just doesn't fit your needs? We are sorry but as items are handmade to order for each client we do not accept returns and exchanges. VERY rarely do we make exceptions but if/when we do, clients are fully responsible for paying tracked and insured return shipping, the item cannot be personalized or specialized (uncommonly ordered color/size/etc), and the item is subject to a 10-20% restocking fee as well depending on how likely it is we can resell the item at a later unknown date.
♥Please understand that we do expect our customers to maintain a secure and safe location for packages to be delivered to. We are not responsible for lost/stolen packages once they are marked as "delivered" by the carrier/service. Due to high instances of mail theft and scams, we are not able to assist once the carrier marks the package as delivered.
♥If your order has been marked as "delivered" but can't be found please contact your carrier/delivery service for more information on where the package was delivered to around your home/business and when. They will be able to help you in a more direct manner as they can track this information directly with GPS package tracking. We do also recommend checking with neighbors, around the home and with others in the house.
Our family has been running Perryhill Rustics since 2014. We started out on Etsy & Amazon. With our changing business and changing practices on those sites, we have decided to expand to our own website in order to offer better pricing and a larger variety of items. We have filled over 30,000 orders between those two sites and average a 5*star rating! When you purchase from us, you not only will receive a beautiful, handmade item that was made with a lot of time and attention, but you will be supporting a small business as well. Thank you!
Upon purchase you will receive an email confirmation with an estimated shipping date of your order (it can vary by 1-3 business days on either side of this date as it is an estimate). If you need it sooner please contact us. We may be able to rush your order but spots are first come first serve and an additional rush cost may be required.
As everything in our shop is made to order we DO NOT accept returns/exchanges. However, we do want you to be a happy customer. If there are any issues with your order please contact us within 48 hours of receipt so we can work with you to try to come to a solution. Photos of your item and any mistakes, etc will be requested. Please never throw anything away, including shipping boxes until the issue is resolved!
-We are happy to work towards a resolution for issues such as; damaged items (please keep item AND send photos of damage) or things that are mis-spelled or made incorrectly by the instructions/description provided.
-As a small family business, we work hard and do our best to ship out beautiful, personalized items. Much of the time handmade/hand painted for you. So please understand there is not much we can do about issues related to wood grain variation, wood characteristics on items (ex; knots, natural wood slits, etc), variations in shading on items, color variations, etc. Each piece is unique and different. None will match photos identically. Due to the handmade nature ALL dimensions are approximate and may vary slightly from advertised dimensions.
-We treat our clients with the utmost respect. We expect the same treatment in return. We never send items out carelessly or "thrown together". Please understand that any threats, accusations, swearing, bullying, or unbecoming behavior will be met with emails/messages that will not be answered. "Always be kinder than necessary"-James M. Barrie
-Please understand we cannot refund rush orders that arrive later than expected. Rush orders are paid to ship by a certain date. We cannot control the carrier, only when the item is given to them.
We can only honor cancellations requested within 24 hours after the order has been placed as many orders are started the next day (they do take time to build, stain, dry, etc) to refund in full.
After that, if a cancellation is made the order will be subject to a 20%+ cancelation fee for any time/materials already spent/used on your order, depending on how far along your order is. We CANNOT cancel orders that have already been completed OR personalized orders in which your personalized information has already been added to the item.
RUSH ORDERS- Please note we CANNOT cancel rush orders once they are placed. We reserve a special time to complete your order, therefore we do not offer cancellations on rush orders.
If an item is returned to us unauthorized (ex; refused, returned to sender, etc) or is returned due to an error in address (we ship to the address you provide- please double check for accuracy!) it is subject to a 50% MINIMUM restocking fee if not personalized. Buyer is responsible for paying to reship item returned due to incorrect or incomplete address.
Unauthorized returns of personalized items, depending on the nature of the item, are not entitled to ANY refund if the item cannot be reused due to personalization. Buyer can pay to reship items returned due to incomplete or incorrect address or forfeit item purchased.
Please note, in the VERY RARE instance where a correct address is provided (which the delivery company can confirm it's correct or not) and an item is returned to us, we will work it out with the buyer on how to move forward. In over 30,000 orders we've only had this happen once and USPS confirmed it was correct and paid to re-ship the item.
Need to change spelling, dates, etc? We can generally make changes to your order within 48 hours of the order being placed (if your order has already been completed or shipped we cannot change the order). Contact us with your order number and what you need to change.
Need to change the shipping address? As long as we're contacted with sufficient time PRIOR to shipping your order, we can usually change shipping addresses without any issue.
Sorry, at this time, we are not shipping internationally.
While mistakes do happen (we are only human!), they are very rare. In the event a mistake is made on your order, please contact us with your; order information, name and shipping address and a photo of what was received... WITHIN 48 hours of your order being received and we will get it fixed for you ASAP!
Damaged or missing items need to be reported within 48 hours of your order being marked as "delivered" by the carrier.
In the event an item is received damaged in transit, please take photos of the item and packaging and send them to us along with your order information and name and shipping address. Please do not throw anything away! It may still be needed for a claim or replacement.
If your order is past it's expected delivery date, please check the tracking first. Occasionally items can be delayed for a variety of reasons. If your order was marked as "delivered" but is nowhere to be found we do recommend contacting your neighbors for mis-delivery or your local USPS as they will have more information about where the package would have been left. Unfortunately, once a package is marked as "delivered" by USPS/FedEx/Etc. there is not much we can do as we do require that customers have a safe and secure location for package delivery.
Please understand that ALL of our items are made to order and are hand made or hand modified. There WILL be variations between photos, samples and products received. Colors in stains and paints may vary slightly depending on monitor settings and wood characteristics (some pieces stain darker than others). Natural wood characteristics (ex; knots, long wood grain streaks, etc) DO exist and vary from piece to piece. They add to the beauty and individuality of an item. There may also be variations in painted lettering (as no stencils or vinyl stickers are used) in ways such as; line thickness, letter height and spacing, flourishes, curl length, etc.
We do reserve the right to request additional shipping charges be made if shipping large items (ex; cake stands, seating signs, etc) outside of the continental US (ex; Hawaii or Alaska).

FAQ for Plumber in Fairbanks
How much will a plumbing service in Fairbanks cost?
Homes have extreme differences which is why plumbers in Fairbanks won't be able to provide exact quotes or job costing if they still haven't assessed the gravity of the situation. What you can do to get a free estimate is to call plumbers and have them inspect your plumbing issue. They will happily come over your place, assess the requirements of the job, and then provide you with a quote.
How can I significantly reduce my monthly water bills?
You can do this by getting a new water heater that's more efficient. A tankless water heater is great because it can provide you hot water when you need it and it only heats water when it is needed. It is also a great energy saver and it is better for our environment. You can also get a maintenance check for your water heater from the local plumbers in Fairbanks to ensure that it is in good condition and won't be costing you more than the usual.
How do I unclog a clogged toilet?
Plunging your clogged toilet is not recommended by most plumbers. You might break the seal to your toilet or drains and risk leakage. Whenever you are presented with the issue, call a plumber in Fairbanks instead because they are the ones who can auger your toilet.
What do I do if my garbage disposal is jammed?
If your garbage disposal is producing a humming sound, you need to reset it by pushing the red button. The reset button of a garbage disposal is usually situated underneath the unit. If there is no reset button, get an allen wrench to unjam the disposal but remember to unplug it first. If this still does not resolve the issue, you might need to call your trusted plumber in Fairbanks. They can easily rectify the problem.
