About
yoyoGstring is the premier handmade yoyo string in the world.
I've
taken everything I've learned from 6 years of handmade string production
and put it all into a single format.
- No
fancy materials;
- No cotton;
- No nylon;
- No loss in play, feel or longevity.
- Also preserving that 'new string bounce' for much longer than before.
A
100% polyester format that works for ALL styles of play. 1A through
5A.
With bundles sold to players all over the world and more than 185,000
handmade yoyo strings personally twisted I am confident you will
find the yoyo string here that is right for you.
Everyone
from the complete beginner to seasoned player can enjoy yoyoGstring.

Jacob Jensen
I have known Jacob for over 6 years. I find him to be honest, open, playful and wonderfully creative. Supportive of new players on many of the yoyo forums he merges styles of play, makes fantastic videos - following concepts few others dare to attempt - and smiles the whole time.
Plus, he's got mad hair and a mountain mans beard. Wicked.

I just found your site and want to make a purchase
but I know absolutely nothing about yo-yo string. Can you recommend
something for me?
Q.) What payment options are available at yoyoGstring.com?
A.) yoyoGstring.com
currently accepts credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, or American
Express) through PayPal. I currently do NOT accept International
Money Orders in any denomination. PayPal(and credit cards through
PayPal) is currently my only payment option.
Q.) How many yoyoGstrings are in (one) order?
A.) yoyoGstring,
unless other wise stated in the item description, is sold in
bundles - each of which contains 10 individual strings.
Q.) Am I guaranteed to receive
the colors of the items I've ordered?
A.) I believe
that you should get the items for which you asked. That being
said you need to realize that I buy thread in bulk and colours
may vary slightly from order to order but I do my best to remain
true to the design images presented.
Q.) What's the cutoff time for you to ship my order on the same day?
A.) I ship
orders out daily, often within an hour of the order being received.
I have a postage meter in my house and the Mail Box is just a
block away.
Q.) Can I cancel my order?
A.) Sure thing,
but only if I haven't shipped your order. You have to be FAST. :) Contact me and we will
chat.
Q.) If my PayPal payment is 'pending' or 'processing' will my order
be shipped before it clears?
A.) No, I will
hang onto your items until the payment clears. The reason is that
until the payment has cleared it can be cancelled by the sender.
That would suck for me, hardcore.
Q.) I just placed an order, but I forgot to add a few things to my
cart. How can I add items to my order, now that my order is already
placed?
A.) Send me
an e-mail through the Contact page with your order details and
I'll take care of it. Just make sure you let me know as soon as
you realize what has happened. You have to make sure to tell me
before I ship your order!
Q.) Can yoyoGstring.com reserve an item for me?
A.) No, I can't!
I am a small home based operation and simply cannot handle reserved
orders. If you want it you will need to make a purchase payment.
Q.) What if I receive damaged, defective, or non-functional items?
A.) Really?
From me? Weird. Send me an e-mail with any and all details and
I'll make sure you end up happy.
Q.) If I add items to my cart, does that mean they are reserved for
me?
A.) No. Adding
items to your cart is simply just adding items to your cart for
checkout. This does not remove the items from the inventory, meaning
that they're still available to those who want to order them.
Only when you complete the checkout process will the inventory
be updated.
Q.) Does yoyoGstring.com ship to my country?
A.) I ship
to any country in the world, just as long as there is a functioning
postal service there!
Q.) How much do you charge for shipping/handling, and how soon will
my package arrive?
A.) When you
add all your items to the cart and select from the available shipping
options a final shipping cost will be presented to you. The transit
time of your package will vary (and be displayed) based on the
shipping method chosen.
Q.) Can I "Pick Up" my order if I am in the area?
A.) Sure! I
love visitors. Drop me an e-mail and we can suss out the details.
Q.) Can you send me a tracking number for my order after you've shipped
it?
A.) In order
to keep the somewhat 'pricey' costs associated with Canada Post
down I am not able to provide tracking numbers, even for international
orders.
Q.) How will I know when you've shipped my order?
A.) Once I
ship your order, you'll get a "It's Shipped!!! Sweet Eh?" e-mail.
Q.) Where is yoyoGstring.com based?
A.) yoyoGstring,com
is 'based' in the basement of my personal residence Edmonton,
Alberta, Canada.
Q.) When was yoyoGstring.com started?
A.) I first
posted my "play threads" on YYN in April of 2006. I had been making
yoyoGstring for myself for a few months previous to that date.
Q.) When does yoyoGstring.com restock its inventory?
A.) I am constantly
restocking the inventory. You can also send me an e-mail with
your thoughts about what you would like to see in stock more often.
Q.) I just found your site and
want to make a purchase but I know absolutely nothing about yo-yo
string. Can you recommend something for me?
A.) It would
be my pleasure! All you have to do is contact me. Just be prepared to answer a few questions such as:
*
Skill level (all we need to know is if you're a beginner or
not)
* The style of yo-yo play (1a-5a) you play or would like to
play.
We
can both work together to be sure you get exactly what you need
from your purchase.
