About Us

Situated in Nanaimo on beautiful Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Our company Karscot Distributors © was established in the fall of 1993. Initially our primary products were educational resources for schools and home educators. As you move through our website you will see that some of our products are still geared to children and to education. It wasn't too long before we branched into the inflatable Amusement ride industry, selling amusement equipment as well as renting it. Now that we had a rental division we had to establish a name that our clients could relate to therefore in 1997 we changed our name to the double barreled name of Karscot Distributors / Fun Zone © which properly reflects the diverse nature of our business and our products, and services. Since our inception we have added sterling silver, gold chains, and other jewelry. As well as a variety of gift products that include watches, novelties, board games, videos, toys etc.. As we progress through 2005 and beyond you will see the addition of other unique products. Because we wholesale products we are in a position to offer sourcing services to retail vendors.

Secure purchasing online: Most purchases off our website can be performed using the Paypal buttons. Paypal is a third party service that transacts online transactions for more than ten million customers. By using Paypal you know that your transaction, and your personal information is safe. Also Paypal uses SSL (Secured Socket Layer) technology. Which encrypts your information when you make purchases using credit card or other such payment methods. When you click on the Paypal button found on our website you will be taken to the secure form page. When you shop on the internet ALWAYS look for the 'Secure' site indicators. You can check this by looking in the location bar of your browser. All secure ordering  sites will have the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) or web address as it is commonly referred to with the following at the beginning https the 'S' is the indication that the page is a secure page. Normally before you are transferred to a secure page a drop down warning will appear advising you that you are being transported to a secure page. Another way to tell if a page is secure is to look to the left corner of your browser (Netscape) if the page is secure you will see a padlock image that will be in the locked position and highlighted. In a non-secured page this padlock icon will appear as an open padlock, and it will not be highlighted As an example here is the Paypal secure form page address www.paypal.com  try clicking it and see how it works   Shopping via the World Wide Web can be both fun, and rewarding. However, as with shopping offline it can also be costly and risky from a financial point of view. To avoid being a victim of internet fraud there are certain steps that you can take to protect yourself. Here are a few suggestions that may be helpful: 1) Never deal with a company that uses a box number for an address. 2) Before you purchase any products (particularly high ticket products)  from a website. Contact the principle owners of the company. Make sure you have ALL their contact information. Ask how long they have been in business. Ask for the phone number of the town or municipal office that issued their license. Phone the licensing office and ask how long the company has been in business. Ask for the name of their ISP (Internet Service Provider) Ask for referrals of people who have purchased from them, and follow up with them. 3) Never give out any information to anyone until you are satisfied that they are who they claim to be, they are a legally established company, they have been around for what you deem to be a reasonable period of time, you have all of their contact information, and the information that you send  is not going to be compromised, or possibly intercepted by a third party, and you are confident that the recipient is going to respect your confidentiality. 4) Wherever possible use a purchasing method like PayPal, or Verisign etc. When you use one of these types of service usually there is no fee to you. Also the person or company you are purchasing from does not get  access to your credit card information, which offers a reasonable degree of protection. There are many such services on the internet check out sites like Ebay and see what they are using. Remember at the end of the day there are no guarantees in life. Caution is the watchword and the old adage is as true on the internet as in everyday life 'If it sounds to good to be true, then the chances are overwhelmingly in favor that it is' Terry: Hand © ®   Click the home button to go to our main web page   Established 1993 Online Since 1996 references available upon request.
