About Fred's
FRUGAL FRED’S PHILOSOPHY & POLICIES

User Fredley - What is User Fredley? Attitude with a smile. This is the outcome of applying a set of rules that Fred devised for keeping his website easy to use for folks just like him. He took all the things he did not like about internet shopping via his limited modem connection and combined that with all the things he really wanted to see in a website.

The four ‘f’ words. FAST, FRIENDLY, FRUGAL and FABULOUS. We offer unique products at an average 20% discount off MSRP everyday. We speak Fred’ese not legalese. The owner may answer the phone!

World Class suppliers! Innovative products! Things you didn’t even know existed.

The Difference - If you still can’t quite put your finger on what is different here, it has more to do with our attitude and less to do with content. We treat you as a person as opposed to a customer. You will spend your money where you please and we want to make it pleasant here. I suspect you, like me, are looking for things you will really use and not just ‘shopping’.

It’s about the quality of life so we will offer recipes and interviews, feedback and comment areas: a genuine opportunity to participate and build a community.

We have a different way here in the Northwest. More personal, self-reliant and earth friendly. We hope our site is so full of information, humor and fascinating links that you visit just for fun. Your feedback and participation are always encouraged and will spawn new features as they form organically. Welcome to Fredericksburg!

Returns and Refunds - In order to save you money, Fred’s uses suppliers that ship directly to the customer and we maintain no inventory or for that matter facilities to make shipments. All returns and refunds will be as per the individual suppliers policy and arrangements can be made with them thru the links provided. We select only established, proven vendors with exceptional policies and will act as an advocate for the customer should the need arise.

Order processing and shipping - Welcome to the digital age! Most of your orders will be processed automatically and the shipper will receive instructions without anyone, except you, touching a keypad. Likewise, the invoice will be filled and shipped on the first business day of that supplier and a shipment notice will be automatically generated and sent to your edress.

Orders that are so special they require contacting our friendly phone staff will be handled the same speedy way, with a few key strokes and maybe a joke and the local weather report.

Availability - We are a fledgling marketing enterprise that relies on other small regional suppliers with limited expansion capabilities. What that means to you in plain English is we are going to try and market only as much as is reasonable for our suppliers to provide while maintaining quality. There will come a time when items become so popular we will have to remove them from the usual location and place them under the Precious Fred’s tab where the limited and seasonal items are found. If you can’t find a past favorite item, look there.
