About Wooden Railway Adventures

Wooden Railway Adventures and Choochoos4u is a family owned and operated business based in Greenville, SC near the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We have been in business for 8 years selling toy trains at regional model train shows, and our website. Our interest with wooden railway comes as a result of raising a boy in love with trains and creative toys.

We are committed to offering only safe, quality toys with great customer service and order security.


Why Buy Trains from Wooden Railway Adventures?

We know that you have many options to choose from when purchasing train toys for your child. So what sets Wooden Railway Adventures apart?
  • Yahoo! Five Star Rating. In independent customer satisfaction surveys conducted by Yahoo! Shopping, we have successfully maintained the highest possible 5-star rating. Over 89% of our customers have given us the 5-star rating or "Excellent", and over 99.4% of them have rated us either "Excellent" or "Good", giving us one of the highest Yahoo! customer satisfaction ratings for any online store. But don't just take our word for it, check out the ratings and customer comments about our service at Yahoo! Merchant Reviews.

  • Great Prices/Great Selection Everyday. We believe we offer the best value online with a combination of low prices and flat or free shipping. And we have over 400 items the are directly related to the Wooden Railway System and another 100+ train or Thomas related toys.

  • Free & Flat Rate Shipping Charges. We are committed to serving our customers fairly. We will never advertise a low price for a product, only to hit you with an exorbitant shipping charge at checkout. The flat rate shipping charge is shown at the bottom of every page. Order over $59.00 and it will ship free. (contiguous USA only)

  • We care about the environment, especially yours. Our packages are packed with "newsprint". (This is actually your newspaper before anything is printed on it.) A large percentage of this paper is recycled. In addition, we know that most of our packages will be opened in the presence of small children, therefore we avoid using the less expensive packing peanuts or other toxic packing material that a child may be tempted to chew.

  • We respect your privacy. We will not disclose your private contact, billing, or e-mail information. Your transaction takes place on a Secure Yahoo! Server and the information is transmitted with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL 128-bit) Encryption technology, the same security and encryption used by banks and stockbrokers.
So Who is in the Picture?

That is my beautiful wife, Beverly. She is the owner, but will still be the one who answers your call. Matt is our 10 year old son. He helps pick orders, haul boxes, is invaluable at train shows, and is in charge of picking the new product lines. After all, who knows kids' toys better than a kid?

ADDRESS CORRECTION

The shipping address must be complete and accurate, as standardized by the US Postal Service. In the event that an incorrect or incomplete address is entered for the shipping address and FedEx bills us for an address correction charge, a $6.00 fee will be applied to your credit card. The most frequent errors are incomplete address, (be sure you have added street, drive, ave., trail etc...), typos in the house number and zip code, and oddly enough incomplete town names (Is it Lovelyville or North Lovelyville).

ORDER CANCELLATION

You may cancel your order any time before shipment at no charge - just call us right away! To stop and return an item that has already shipped, FedEx charges us a $10 fee, which will be deducted from your refund, in addition to being subject to a 10% return/restocking fee and any shipping costs that we incurred to ship the product to you.

GIFT WRAP

We currently offer gift wrapping. We have Birthday and non-religious Holiday paper - perfect for Christmas or Hanukkah, etc. The gift wrap charge is $2.45/item. Tables, Tops, Nilo, John Deere, the large Thomas sets/tables/tops, and other items sent directly from the manufacturer cannot be wrapped. We try to reduce your costs by wrapping items together and will reduce the wrapping charge accordingly. Not all item combinations for wrapping will be possible (eg: big train roundhouse and Cranky the Crane). If you NEED each item wrapped separately (eg:Hanukkah, two gifts for two children) then let us know! We will work hard to honor your request.

This encryption is the same security and encryption used by banks, stockbrokers, and department stores.
