OUR QUICKUTZ PROMISE

• Just because it's old, doesn't mean you may not want it or need it someday, so YES, we do regularly stock up on older dies.
• And we will never up our prices or overcharge if something moves to a discontinued status.
  
• We will also regularly bring in the new releases as well. Because we are new to Quickutz we don't always receive the benefits of some of the UpperKutz store. But we are building!
  
• We will do Quickutz special orders at any time. Machines, dies, accessories, no problem.
  
• We accept competitors prices! If you find it discounted somewhere else, just let us know and we will honor that price!
