We receive your online orders 24 hours a day / 7 days a week and process them within several hours. We take every precaution to keep your information confidential.
Since every computer system may be subject to hackers, we encourage you to always check your credit card statements for any possible fraudulent purchases on your card, and notify us immediately if you believe that someone is making purchases with us without your knowledge.

Doll Shows & Events
Mini World is very active in the dollmaking community and because of this we like to keep our customers informed about various Doll Shows and activities around the country. We (Mini World) may, from time to time, email you with information about Shows and events that are being held near you. If you do not wish to receive any such notices, just let us know and we'll take your name off any future Doll Event mailing list immediately. Mini World does not provide any customer lists to any third party for direct postal mail except for the Kansas City Doll Fair ~ the Art of the Doll ~, which we are involved with as members of the sponsoring clubs, and on a nonprofit basis.
For more information about Doll Shows and Events around the country, click on the link above. If you would like us to list your club's sponsored Show or Event, just let us know.
Email & Submission Forms
We have revised our method of how you electronically contact us. Although you can still email us directly to any email address listed for Mini World, our new submission forms are designed to make sure that all the information you need to give us is included in your mail. The forms work just like the way regular mail does except that they are sent over a secure server. We do ask you NOT to include any credit card information in your email.

Spam & What to Do About It
