Company Policies:
Payment – We accept Master Card, Visa, Discover, American Express, Debit Cards & PayPal.
Credit Card Processing – Due to numerous changes in credit card acceptance procedures we require the following: All information provided by you will be verified manually and electronically with your credit card issuer. ALL information, name, address, city, state, zip and phone number must match with the information your credit card issuer has on file for you in order for us to process your order and to receive an authorization on your card. If the information you provide does not match, your credit card company may require that you update that information before they will authorize the sale.
Additional requirements: If you are shipping to an address other than your billing address, we may require that you place this address on file with your credit card company. Most credit card issuers will be happy to help with this. Most will place this information in their alternate shipping/address field or in the notes section on your account. To avoid delays in processing your order, it is best to make sure that ALL of the information you provide to us at the time your order is placed is current and up to date with your credit card issuer.
