Frequently Asked Questions:
FROM A RECENT EMAIL EXCHANGE:
Q. I will happily purchase a can from you in exchange for some
information, or "trade secrets" that I promise to never divulge to
anyone or anything, person or plant.
A. Oh yeah - we've never heard
that line before.Q. How do you strip the paint from your cans?
A. Painstakingly, using cheap
labor.
Q. If you aren't stripping the paint, where do you purchase unmarked
cans?
A. From an unmarked can
supplier, kinda like, CrushedCans.com.
Q. I've searched, and maybe I'm
overlooking something, but I am working on a project and could use 6
unmarked cans.
A. Cool, for $29.70 your
project will be a tremendous success.
Q. I will buy a can upon reply.
A. We've heard that before too.
Still waiting.....
Q. Do you have a Bridal Registry?
A. YES. It's $4.95 and includes a free CrushedCan.
Q. If I repaired my can, would you re-crush it for FREE?
A. Unfortunately, any attempt to repair your CrushedCan will void the
warranty. CrushedCans will not be held responsible for the
subsequent loss of
any long term artistic value. We strongly advise against
repairing your
CrushedCan and CrushedCans.com will not be responsible for
any injuries that
may occur.
Q. How can I make sure that the can does not have moisture inside
still
from the Budweiser or whatever was in previously?
A. The only way that you can be certain that
there is no moisture inside, is to
order one,
and take a look yourself.
Q. Where did you guys ever get the idea to sell CrushedCans?
A. 3 guys. 5 hour road trip. 2 much free time.
Q. Do you make a profit?
A. We make a better profit after you buy a
CrushedCan.
Q. Dude? Are you seriously selling CrushedCans?
A. Where did the confusion happen for you?
Please see "The Concept" section
again.
Q. Dude! You want $4.95 for every can?
A. No. The can is free, it's the "Crushing Technique" that is so
expensive.
Q. Dude? Can I have a complementary can?
A. Yes - but the shipping will not be included and will be $4.95.
Q. Dude, SERIOUSLY! Are you really selling CrushedCans?
A. Yes. So, now you know. Click here to buy one.
Q. Do you have a method of uncrushing CrushedCans to create a full
height
can with an attractive "crush-wrinkles" look?
A. UnCrushing the can will void it's warranty -
so you may want to consider buying
the domain
www.UnCrushedCans.com.
Q. Why aren't there any pictures of a CrushedCan seat belted into a car
or
maybe a CrushedCan skydiving or
hang-gliding? I think that would be
pretty cool.
A. Please READ "What To Do With a CrushedCan"
section again. This is not that
difficult to understand. First you BUY a can. Then you
drive/skydive/hang-glide
with it. Then you take a picture. Then you send it to
us. Then we put it on the
website. It's really pretty simple.
Q. Does it help to be in a certain state of mind when crushing these
cans?
Or does just Budweiser do the trick?
A. Crushing comes from being in
your home state. Denial for most of us.
Q. I'm concerned that only
mature cans are crushed in your manufacturing
process. What guarantees do I have that only fully
adult cans were
harvested and that if I buy a can that it's not a
juvenile can?
A. We are concerned that YOU are
concerned about this. However, YOU are the
type of CrushedCan owner we are looking for; savvy, and aware
of others'
feelings. AFTER you purchase your
CrushedCan, please feel free to write us back
and let us know which type of can YOU think it is.
Q. I wonder whether People for the Ethical
Treatment of Cans (PETC) certify
your cans?
A. We appreciate your concern, please
send along contact information for this
organization. CrushedCans.com has an entire department
dedicated to matters
of this nature.
Q: If I call or email right now, will you add a second crushed can for
absolutely free?
A: Yes, but the first CrushedCan will be $9.90.
Q. Do you offer special deals for students? $3.95?
A. Yes we would only charge $3.95 for students, but shipping will be $1.00.
Q. What if I am not satisfied with the degree of crushing?
A. Take it to your local recycling center - I hear they can "fully crush"
any can.
Q: Is this really just a crushed piece of aluminum?
A: Yes.
Q: Can you recycle it?
A: Yes, but you paid $4.95 for it, and you'll only get 5 cents in OR, MI, and NY.
Q: What is return policy?
A: Fully refundable, if not crushed.
Q: What makes your can so special?
A: It's half the price of an Origami Boulder.
Q: Are there any pictures of your CrushedCans?
A: Yes, please visit the photos page. We also need you to send in
your photos.
This requires you to buy a can. We did our part,
now you do yours.
Q: Do you hire a professional to crush
the cans?
A: No, just three guys with time to crush cans.
Q: Where is CrushedCans.com located?
A: West of the Mississippi River.
Q: Are you guys for real?
A: Yes.
Q: How do you get all of the printing off of the can?
A: Trade secret.
Q: Why would anyone in their right mind buy a CrushedCan for $4.95?
A: The buyer is an appreciator of 'aluminescence'.
Q: Do you ever have any discounts? Say, for half a can?
A: No. Cans need to be whole and crushed for full effect.
Q: What are your can crushing methods? Are they
environmentally friendly?
A: All cans are crushed with great care and concern for the environment, the
whales, and the planet.
Q: Are special orders available? I’d like a crushed Canada Dry Orange can.
A: An orange soda can would be very inappropriate and could destroy the balance
of the perfect crushed can.
Q: How do I display my new Crushed Can?
A: However you darn well please; mine is on top of my computer monitor.
Q: Do you do any “can sculpting?”
A: "sculpting" is a hair-salon term. We sell CrushedCans, not perms.
Q: What degrees do you hold that allow you to perfect this form of art?
A: Mostly BS degrees, although a BA helps crushing techniques.
Q: Will you crush a can against your forehead for that price?
A: Not into that, you get a can, it's crushed, that's all you need to know.
Q: That’s an incredible price! How do you guys do it?!?!?!
A: Um, it's a crushed aluminum can...
Q: Have you come across any competitors?
A: Just one, but they sell wadded paper, much too easy to replicate. A blank,
beautiful, shiny can is so much cooler, so there is not much
competition.
Q: What if my crushed can becomes damaged when you
ship it to me?
A: They were wrong when they told people that there are no stupid questions.
