Payment Methods
We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, PayPal and money orders. PayPal is a secure service that allows customers to send payments from credit cards (including American Express) without giving your credit card number to each merchant. You pay no fee to send payments. The small service fee is deducted from the money that merchants receive.
Phone Orders
We don’t accept phone orders because we want our customers to be happy and successful, and talking on the phone is never a substitute for reading product descriptions.
Security and Privacy
Mosaic Art Supply does not share or sell customer data, and our credit card processing is encrypted and done using the bank’s server instead of our website server. Our entire website including checkout uses 256-bit encryption. Read more about security and privacy at Mosaic Art Supply.
Make sure that your antivirus software has been updated and periodically run scans of your computer. Remember, credit card theft is much more likely on a customer’s own unprotected computer than it is on a merchant’s website.
Urgent Orders
UPS Next Day Air orders placed after 2pm eastern cannot ship before the following weekday. The reason is simple: UPS picks up between 4 and 4:30pm eastern.
Most orders will ship within 1 to 2 business days. Large or special orders may take longer.
UPS Next-Day Air, 2nd Day Air and 3-Day Select refer to business days (M-F) and do NOT count weekends and holidays. That is UPS policy, not ours.
If you need something urgently, go ahead and place the order instead of waiting for us to reply to an email. If you are concerned if it will arrive by your deadline, then paste the following message in the Special Instructions during checkout: “Cancel this order if it won’t arrive by day/date.”
Do not put any other questions or conditions on an urgent order. That is a sure way to have your order held up in the warehouse.
Shipping USA
The cost of shipping orders in the US is based on weight and ZIP code.
Orders ship from our warehouse in Scottdale, Georgia 30079.
Customers choose their method of shipping during checkout.
We only ship orders Monday-Friday. If you have to have your order rushed please e-mail us at [email protected] to let us know.

“Exceptions apply and delivery time is not guaranteed.”
Very small orders (less than 11 ounces) can ship using UPS First-Class Mail.
Shipping INTERNATIONAL
Mosaic Art Supply ships around the globe using USPS Priority Mail and USPS Express Mail.
During checkout, the website will show you the cost of shipping your order based on its weight.
There are special rates for Mexico and Canada. All International flat-rate boxes are limited to 20 lbs (9 kgs). See current international rates at USPS.
The boxes are relatively small, so buy tile and avoid things like grout and glue that can be purchased locally.
Please remember that your country may charge you a customs duty or tax when you receive the package, and this fee is not included in our shipping charge.
Returns Policy
Except for manufacturer defects on tools only within 30 days, all sales are final and cannot be refunded.
However, we occasionally grant exceptions on a very limited basis, IF the customer has done the following:
- Read product descriptions, including dimensions, before ordering
- Ordered samples first if unsure about colors, especially if you are trying to match colors to walls, carpets, etc. at home and needing more than a few square feet of any particular color.
Unauthorized returns will not be credited or refunded.
E-mail us to request a return authorization.
We cannot refund the shipping on refused shipments, so please email us promptly if you change your mind, and we will try to stop the package before it leaves the warehouse. Keep in mind that most orders ship within 24 – 48 hours.
Product Variations
Note that natural stone and glass tile can vary slightly in color between manufacturer batches.
Please order enough for the job and avoid matching colors between multiple orders if possible.
As always blend different boxes or bags of tile together before installing.
Purchase Orders
We do take POs. Our only requirement is that you place an unofficial website order and select MONEY ORDER as the payment method. In the Order Notes during checkout, please paste the following:
“For estimation purposes only. Not an official order. Wait for possible PO.”
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU CLICK ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE CHECKOUT AND SUBMIT THE ORDER, ELSE THERE IS NO RECORD OF IT ON OUR END.
An unofficial website order is REQUIRED because:
- It makes sure that all items are available and aren’t being purchased by someone else.
- It allows you to fill out your PO correctly, including shipping charges.
- We need the unofficial website order for tax, inventory, and accounting reasons.
You can e-mail or Fax your PO to us at 404-795-0444. Make sure you write the invoice number from our website on your PO because we get MANY school orders and repeat orders.
