Spank-O-Matic is an Orgasm Alley Special Interest Site The Ultimate Spanking Devices and Corporal Punishment Machines FAQ & Answers Organized by Topic
FAQ about Ordering and PaymentHow do I order a Spank-O-Matic? You can place your order online, through the mail, or over the phone. If you'd like to discuss your needs, email is the most effective way to ask questions and receive advice. You're also welcome to call me at 888.380.8840 as described on the Contact page. Is online ordering from Orgasm Alley safe? Absolutely! I'm not a computer security guru, and don't pretend to be. Orgasm Alley uses a third party shopping cart hosted on servers continually maintained to the highest available security standards. Actual credit card entry is performed through a gateway of equally high security. No information is ever maintained in or transmitted through an accessible environment. What forms of payment do you take? Orgasm Alley accepts American Express, Discover, MasterCard, Visa, cashiers check, money order, personal/business check (10 day hold) and wire transfer. More detail about these payment methods is available on the Ordering page. As owner eBay has instituted a policy banning adult-related transactions through their PayPal system, Orgasm Alley cannot accept this form of payment. If you prefer an online payment system, I do recommend and accept USPS Send Money, although this system may only be used by customers in the US. Can I pay part now and part later? I work on a paid-in-full-upfront basis. Credit card payments are authorized at time of order, and charged 1-2 days prior to shipment. For all other forms of payment, I do require money in hand to log your order to the work board. How long after I pay will you ship my Spank-O-Matic? My lead time depends on current backlog and life more generally (I'm a family man, after all!). Lead time is typically 10-14 days -- but might be longer -- from receipt of payment to outbound shipment. I provide a current estimate with each quote, if it differs from that standard. FAQ about ShippingHow do you ship Spank-O-Matics? Spank-O-Matics ship via UPS Ground in the United States, UPS Standard to Canada, and via USPS Global Express Mail to International destinations. In all cases, shipments are insured for full value. Do you ship Internationally? Yes. Canada and almost anywhere the USPS goes... about 150 countries worldwide. Orgasm Alley does reserve the right to refuse an order based on required shipment to select countries. That includes Nigeria, so please stop emailing me that your Prince Regent Head Honcho has died leaving millions for the purchase of sex machines ;). How much does shipping cost? Shipping charge varies by destination. In the Continental US, the SOM ships via UPS Ground for $35 as long as you're not using a PO Box to take delivery. International shipping is estimated by the shopping cart, and I'll refund the difference if this amount is significantly over actual costs. I'm not looking to make a profit on shipping. If someone sees the box, will they know what is inside? No way! You will receive a brown box with no indication of what's inside. The return address is my name and address. International shipments do require a description of contents. Spank-O-Matics are "animatronics drivers." How many days will it take to get here once you ship it? UPS Ground is normally a 1 to 5 day service. UPS Standard to Canada is a 4-10 day service. UPS provides tracking capabilities, and an accurate delivery date is available the day after I ship your package. USPS Global Express Mail, used for International deliveries, is normally a 3-5 day service. Like most USPS delivery estimates, that's optimistic by a day or two in my experience. Among other issues, in-country carriers have been known to cause additional delays. Global Express Mail service does not have real tracking capabilities. Note that all SOM units ship with "signature required." Please have someone available to sign for your delivery. FAQ about Spank-O-Matic, GeneralCan Spank-O-Matics run on International (220 VAC) current? Yes, although this is a different configuration within the control system. Please select "220/240 VAC" in the Power drop down of the ordering section, or indicate this requirement if ordering over email/phone/mail. How much do Spank-O-Matics weigh? Please see Vital Statistics section on individual model pages, as weight varies by model. What accessories come standard with Spank-O-Matics? Each Spank-O-Matic includes the SOM unit core, swing stand, 12' power cord, 10' control cord, two 32" spanking arms, and two or four paddles with mounts depending on your order configuration. Each spanking arm breaks down into two pieces, an 18" first arm and a 14" second arm. Each Spank-O-Matic FLEXOR includes the SOM unit core, Flexor stand, 12' power cord, 10' control cord, two 32" spanking arms, and two or four paddles with mounts depending on your order configuration. Each spanking arm breaks down into two pieces, an 18" first arm and a 14" second arm. Each Spank-O-Matic MAX includes the MAX unit core, MAX stand, 12' power cord, 10' control cord, and sting and/or thud arms and paddles depending on your configuration. What is the difference between the Flexor and MAX stands? Are they interchangable? These stands are not interchangable, except by custom arrangement. Although of very similar design, these two stands provide different angling mechanisms for their respective core units. Is assembly required? Some assembly is required. Assembly is relatively simple, requires no tools, and is described in detail in included documentation. How much noise do Spank-O-Matics make? Given the motion involved, Spank-O-Matics are actually fairly quiet in operation. The motor itself makes little noise. There is a "clacking" noise as the cam contacts the lift roller and begins to pick up the arm on the SOM core, and a similar noise as the rectractor engages in the MAX core. The MAX core also makes springing noises after striking. The primary noise of Spank-O-Matic play is the impact... as you might expect, it can sound a lot like a stiff spanking or paddling. The Spank-O-Matic in full operation will not be heard through an average interior door. How hard can Spank-O-Matics hit? SOM lift-and-drop core. Individual strikes, even at the maximum stroke power settings, are not particularly hard. I rate them a 4 or 5 on my personal (1 to 10) scale. However, the nature of machine spanking makes one think about the overall experience instead of the power of individual strokes. Because each strike lands in exactly the same spot -- assuming the target doesn't or can't move around -- and due to the high stroking speeds the machine can maintain indefinitely, a session with the SOM is significantly more cumulative than an equivalent hand spanking. It can give one heck of an overall spanking. MAX spring powered core. The MAX unit is designed for harder striking, and goes up to about an 8 on my personal (1 to 10) scale. Striking power is partially dependent on several factors. First, sting arm/paddles tend to strike harder than thud versions, due to higher impact speeds. Second, setup positions in which the arms spank downward have a moderate gravity assist, and are a bit harder striking than upward-spanking positions. Other commentary above about repetitive, high-speed spankings also apply to the MAX. Where can I see Spank-O-Matics in action? At this time, no video of the Spank-O-Matic in action is available. If you are an adult content provider interested in using the Spank-O-Matic for business, feel free to contact me. Saroftreve.com is a porn-free zone. FAQ about Spank-O-Matic, TechnicalWhat motors do Spank-O-Matics use? How much power do they have? Spank-O-Matics use industrial gearmotors from Bodine and Baldor, selected for their quiet operation. These motors are very durable and intended to run for long periods of time in even harsh conditions. All motors are rated for continuous duty... they won't overheat and don't need a rest after an hour or two. They are maintenance free. In these spanking machine designs, motor power does not translate directly to spanking power. If a motor can operate the machine (meaning lift/retract the arms), the unit delivers full power. The torque -- or pushing power -- of the motor does determine the maximum lift it can provide. What are the minimum and maximum spanking speeds of Spank-O-Matics? All Spank-O-Matics are adjustable from about 5 to 80 spanks per minute. Each spank alternate sides... right - left - right - left. 80 spanks per minute translates to 40 spanks per buttock in one minute's time. FAQ about Spank-O-Matic, UsingAre there any usage precautions in using the Spank-O-Matic? Yes. As you might expect, a Spank-O-Matic can deliver a decent whack. It is the user's responsibility to avoid strikes to areas where damage may occur, including the lower back and tailbone. While breasts are certainly another possible target, care should obviously be taken to avoid the entire head and ribcage. Additionally, Spank-O-Matics should not be operated without a target that stops the spank arms' descent. While each unit is designed with arm stopping features, repeated use without a target is likely to harm the unit. Component damage from operation without a target is not covered under any applicable warantee. What are the best ways to set up for Spank-O-Matic play? Setup options are limited only by your imagination. A prone position on the floor, with or without a pillow or cushion to elevate the rear, is excellent for extended play. Variations on a bench, chair, or table are also popular. This represents only a small subset of possible configurations, however. |
