4325 Sommer Dr
Sheboygan, WI 53081-7929
 

A replacement wire will be mailed to you promptly. 

Q. Can I purchase additional wires so I always have a spare on hand?

A. Yes, you may order replacement wires directly from our site. Please note that replacement wires are available in several lengths. The proper length for your cheese slicer can be determined by measuring the length of the cutting slot on your board. Spare wires are available for $1.50 to $3.00 depending on the model. To ensure excellent customer service, please enclose a note describing the manufacturer, if known, type of cheese slicer, dimensions, and type of handle. If you can identify the type of wire you need from the chart on our Order Spare Wires page, please identify the wire you need by its item number.

​

Q. How do I replace a cutting wire once I receive the free replacement?

A. Cutting Wire Replacement Procedure (for CW-LONG or CW-SHORT wires)

1. Position slicer on flat surface

2. Loosen set screw and turn handle upward.

3. Using narrow object (such as a nail), push wire fastening pin out.

4. While holding the base, grasp metal bar and gently slide it outward until it clears cutting slot.

5. Remove broken wire pieces.

6. Take new wire and place wire loop into cutting slot. Slide bar back into base passing the bar through wire loop.

7. With handle in raised position, place the other wire loop into handle cavity and reinsert fastening pin passing it through loop.

8. Turn the handle away from the board until it rests on the flat surface. Grasp handle and tighten set screw into metal bar.

9. Gently work bar either into or out of base until the wire is aligned with cutting slot.

Your Gourmet Cheese Slicer is now ready for use once again.

​

If you need further help replacing your wire, please call (920)627-6969.

​

Q. When I received my cheese slicer, the wire did not line up with the cutting slot. Is it broken or defective?

A. How to Align the Wire In the Cutting Slot

This is a very common occurrence that happens during shipping. Often during handling, the weight of the base forces the handle too far into the base, causing the wire to be too far to the left. Fortunately, this situation is easily fixed, and is not a defect in the slicer. It will not reoccur after you fix it.

All you need to do to restore your slicer to perfect working order is

1. Place the board on a flat surface with the handle end facing you.

2. Lift the handle so that it is perpendicular to the board.

3. With gentle finger pressure, rock the handle back and forth gently while slightly pulling the handle out of the board, just enough so that the wire aligns with the groove.

4. Rotate the arm the down to cutting position to verify that the wire is properly aligned. If it is not, repeat the steps above.

Your Cheese Slicer is now ready for use!

​

If you need further help aligning your wire, please call (920) 627-6969.

 

Q. The handle for my cheese slicer broke. Do you sell replacements?

A. Yes, you may order replacement handles for certain models of cheese slicers. Please browse the parts page to see what is available online.

Q. How often do your prices change? What if I purchased something, and now it's on special?

A. The prices listed on the CheeseSlicing, LLC web site are current as long as they are displayed and are subject to change at our discretion. I have sales and special promotional codes for certain items about which we notify our customers with our e-mail newsletters. I cannot be responsible for e-mail that does not reach a recipient because of spam filters or any other reason.

​

A. CheeseSlicing, LLC accepts VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, PayPal, and check/money order. You may submit your order via Internet or phone-in orders. I ship to addresses within the United States and charge 5.5% sales tax to residents of Wisconsin.

​

Q. What if an item I ordered is not in stock?

A. Many of the items I sell are only available to us in limited quantities. I make every effort to update my Web site to reflect out of stock conditions, but it is possible that an item you purchase at CheeseSlicing, LLC is on back order. In that event, I customarily ship as much of the order as possible and ship the back-ordered item as it becomes available unless the customer requests that all items are sent together. In case an item is discontinued by the manufacturer, I will contact to you arrange for a comparable item to be substituted.

​

Q. What happens if the Web site goes down or is not available?

A. CheeseSlicing, LLC makes every effort to maintain 100% system availability. In instances when I do experience technical difficulties, I am not responsible for orders that are not processed or accepted.

​

Q. What shipping options do you offer? How are shipping rates determined?

A. CheeseSlicing, LLC ships via  Basic Standard Shipping. There are two factors that determine the shipping charges on orders. First, shipping charge increment as the weight of your order increases. Secondly, the shipping charge formula is scaled based upon the distance between Sheboygan, Wisconsin headquarters and the destination address. I have set  rates to approximate the rates charged to us by our delivery service providers. Basic Standard Shipping uses the US Postal Service

​

I inspect all merchandise and wrap fragile items securely. Once packages leave our location, I am not responsible for damage unless the parcel is insured. I recommend any marble items be shipped by Insured Priority Mail. In case of damage to an Insured parcel, I file a claim and replace the damaged item as soon as the claim is settled.

​

Q. If I am not satisfied, can I return my order?

A. Return Policy

Any item(s) that you deem unsatisfactory will be replaced or refunded upon your request, as long as you let us know the details of the problem within 5 business days of having received your order. This is a very liberal return policy and we reserve the right to become stricter if people begin to take advantage of my trust. If the product is damaged or defective, contact us for a return merchandise authorization, and I will replace the item with a new one in perfect condition. If you change your mind about a product, or wish to return it for any reason other than damage or defect, I will be happy to refund the cost of that product or exchange it for another, but you must pay for postage to ship it back to me.

I will not use the information gathered from you in any unsavory manner.

​

Q. What about credit card fraud?

A. In reference to credit card processing, I take fraud very seriously. It is a violation of State and Federal law to place orders under a false name or with an invalid credit card number. Attempts at fraudulent ordering will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Both the FBI and the US Secret Service have advanced methods to identify the time, location and origination of Internet transactions, and have assumed responsibility for investigating Internet fraud cases.

Your browser and CheeseSlicing, LLC's secure server work together to encrypt your credit card information during transmission, ensuring that transactions stay private and protected.

​

Q. What are shipping dates and times?

A. SHIPPING SCHEDULE:

My shipping schedule is as follows: Expedited Shipping Monday-Friday, within 2 business days of placing the order. Basic Standard Shipping and Insured Shipping are shipped Monday-Saturday within 3 business days of receiving the order. Overnight Shipping orders are shipped on the following business day. If you need your order by a specific date please put it in the comments of your order. If I am not able to meet these standards you will be contacted by phone or email.

​

TRACKING:

A built in online tracking mechanism is available, so you may track the package as is it shipped to your address.

​

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS:

I am currently unable to ship cheese slicers to many countries outside the US, due to Customs, VAT Taxes and Brokerage costs. These can add as much as 300% to the cost of the order and are applied when the package arrives. Because of this, I have no forewarning or idea of what the bill will be to the receiving party at time of arrival. I am working very hard to resolve these issues on a country by country basis and regret not being able to help you at this time.

​

I have dedicated myself to selling only the finest quality products. If for any reason you are not satisfied with your order, please call and talk to Customer Service to discuss your displeasure at (920) 627-6969 or email me at cheeseslicing@gmail.com.

​

Q. How do I order online?

A. After you find a product you would like to purchase, click the item name to view and/or order. If you'd like to order the item, select a quantity and click the "Add to Cart" button. Each time you add an item, you'll be taken to the Shopping Cart to see what you've purchased. To continue shopping, click "Continue Shopping". Once you've found all the items you want and have reviewed your cart to make sure you have everything you want, click "Checkout" and fill out the following forms. If you change your mind about an item, or made a mistake and no longer wish to purchase that item, click the Trash Can icon next to the total price for that item. If you want to change the quantity of an item ordered, you may adjust the Qty. field for that item, and click Update. Your total will be adjusted accordingly. Note that if you want to remove an item entirely, use the Trash Can; do not change the quantity to zero. If you would like a paid Invoice to be emailed or sent with your order, please specify your request in the NOTE section before checking out. We are taking efforts to be green, but honor your requests. 

​

Once you've filled in your billing and shipping information, click the "Place Final Order" button, and your order will be complete. You can print the resulting page as your receipt, and you'll also receive confirmation via email.

​

Q. Why was my credit card declined?

A. The most common reason for credit cards not being accepted is that the address and postal code entered for Billing Information do not match the address for the credit card statement. Some gift cards also can not be verified by the online system, and therefore are not acceptable online. Sometimes the CVV2 code (3 digits on the back of the card for Visa, MC, and Discover, or 4 digits for AmEx) is not entered, or entered incorrectly. I can NOT process your transaction without this code, because it verifies that you are the cardholder. The code is present only on the physical card, not on billing statements or other records. This helps protect you from credit card fraud.

​

Q. How can I speak to a live person? Can I place a phone order?

A. To place an order or inquire about existing orders, Customer Service will be available 9AM to 8 PM central standard time (CST), daily at (920) 627-6969.
