How to Download Drama and Puppet Skits

Download within minutes when you purchase with a credit card!
Only drama and puppet skits can be downloaded.  Children's material and VBS programs will be mailed via the U.S. Post Office.

How do I get my skit after I've purchased it? How long will it take? Are they sent through the mail?

Skits are not mailed, they are downloaded directly from our website. Once you have purchased a skit with a credit card (or check or money order) and have received a receipt (a proof of purchase) through e-mail from PayPal, your skit will be available for download. This will be available within minutes if you purchased with a credit card.

Simply go to the "Home" page on the website (www.skitsandstuff.com) and click on the "Purchase/Download" link at the top right of the page.  Then click on the "Download Skits" link. 

Enter your e-mail and hit the "Submit" button. Make sure this is the same e-mail address entered when purchasing via PayPal or if purchased by mail order, the e-mail you sent with your skit request.  If the e-mail does not match exactly or if you have not first purchased the skit, you will get an "error" and will be unable to download your skit.  

Once you've entered your e-mail and clicked the "Submit" button, any skits you have purchased will appear. You can then choose which format you'd like to open your skit. Click on either "Word Document" or "PDF Document" and the skit will open for you and you will be able to view, save and print your skit from your computer. 

What do you mean by "downloading?"

The word "downloading" simply refers to the way in which you receive your skit. The process of downloading allows you, the customer, to receive your skit within minutes of purchasing (if paid for with a credit card) by transferring information from our computer to yours. All of our drama and puppets skits are downloaded online from our website. 

What's the difference between a Word Document and a PDF Document?

A Word document will let you alter the skit if you like, and can be saved to your computer. Some computers may automatically change the format of a Word document but the content will be the same.  

PDF files may also be saved to your computer but cannot be altered in any way.  Some computer systems may have an easier time printing documents in a PDF file, and will not alter the text, format or other information in the document.

Click on the title of the skit to download/display (Word has .doc, and Adobe has .pdf).  

Can I download Children's Material and VBS on the web?

No. Only drama skits and puppet skits can be downloaded from the web.  Children's Material and VBS will be mailed through the U.S. Post Office.

I entered my e-mail and clicked the "Submit" button but I keep getting an error.  What does this mean?

It probably means you need to double-check the e-mail you entered. The e-mail you entered during the purchasing process must match exactly what you enter when downloading. If the e-mails don't match, you will get an error. 

If you've entered the wrong e-mail during the purchasing process or need to change your e-mail for any reason, please Contact Us and we can change the e-mail for you.

You must first purchase a skit before downloading.  If you have not purchased the skit, you will also get an error message. 

 

 

 

 

I'm trying to download my skit but there is a message in red that says "Waiting on Credit Card Purchase." What does this mean?

This may mean that PayPal has not completely finished processing your order yet. Typically, PayPal processes the orders in less than a minute but in some instances there may be an issue on PayPal's end that may cause the process to be delayed. If this happens, wait a minute and click the "Refresh" button.  If your most recent purchase is still not displayed after 15 minutes, Contact Us.

I'm trying to download my skit but there is a message in red that says "Waiting for Check/Money Order." What does this mean?

This means you have paid by check or money order and we have not yet received your payment in the mail, and/or your order has not yet been processed. When we have received your form and payment in the mail, we process the order the same day.  Once the order is processed, we send you a "receipt" through e-mail, indicating your skit is ready for download. 

I sent in the Mail Order Form along with my payment but when I try to download my skit it shows "n/a" under the Word and PDF Documents. What is that?

The "n/a" means the skits is not yet applicable (available).  This occurs with every mail order until we receive payment and process the order. When we have received your form and payment in the mail, we process the order the same day.  Once the order is processed, we send you a "receipt" through e-mail, indicating your skit is ready for download. The "n/a" will disappear and in it's place will be the title of the skit you have purchased.  

I'm trying to download my skit but there is a message in red that says "Refunded." What does this mean?

If this message is being displayed it means we have received a request from you indicating you would like a refund, and the refund has been issued. (Because skits are downloaded electronically, refunds for skits will only be given in extenuating circumstances)  If a refund was granted, you no longer have access to the skit. 

I'm trying to download a skit but nothing is happening.  What is the problem?

First, make sure you have purchased a skit.  If you try to download a skit without first purchasing the item you will either get an error message or nothing will happen.  If you have purchased a skit but continue to have these issues, there may be an error in our system. Contact Us and we will resolve the problem in a timely manner. 

I have ordered from you before but this time when I entered my e-mail a list of "old" skits I have previously ordered appeared but not the one I just purchased.  Where is my "new" skit?

This may mean that PayPal has not completely finished processing your recent order yet. The list of "old" skits you have purchased is available to you any time so that's why they are listed. Typically, PayPal processes the orders in less than a minute but in some instances there may be an issue on PayPal's end that may cause the process to be delayed. If this happens, wait a minute and click the "Refresh" button.  If your most recent purchase is still not displayed after 15 minutes, Contact Us.

This could also mean you have purchased your new skit using a different e-mail address than previously, particularly if both e-mail addresses are still valid.  Check to make sure you entered the correct e-mail address for the skit you just purchased--they must match exactly in order for your purchase to be displayed.
