  2. My credit card was declined. What do I need to do so I can place the order using my credit card?

    Almost 99% of the time your credit card is declined is because you did not enter the correct billing address. There is a separate field for the shipping address and a separate field for the billing address that you need to fill in during checkout. It is very important that you provide the correct billing address for credit card orders. If the billing address doesn't match exactly what appears on file with your credit card company, the credit card transaction will be declined. So make sure you entered the correct billing address when you place the order. Also double check all of the other credit card information you entered to make sure it is correct!

  11. Why should I add Insurance Protection to my order?

    We ship all orders via the US Post Office.

    The optional Insurance Protection protects you from a lost or damaged shipment.

    Insurance Protection is recommended as our liability ceases upon release of goods to Post Office and we are not responsible for lost or damaged shipments.

    Protect yourself by adding the Insurance Protection to the order.

    Important: We track all domestic US orders. The Post Office scans the bar code on the package when it is delivered. The scanning of the bar code is the proof of delivery. If you didn't receive the package and your Post Office says it was delivered, you then need to contact your Postmaster to make a formal complaint. If the package was scanned and marked delivered, and you didn't receive the shipment, then the optional Insurance Protection would not cover the undelivered shipment, because the Post Office scanned the package confirming the package was delivered by Post Office courier.

    Note: There is only tracking on International Express Mail orders. The US Post Office doesn't track International First Class or International Priority Mail orders. The Post Office just tracks the International First Class and International Priority Mail orders until it reaches the airport where the package leaves the United States. If you require tracking of International orders, we suggest you select International Express Mail during checkout and you can track your package from the United States all the way to the destination in your country!

    The estimated time to leave our warehouse is as follows:

    Expedited Orders are usually shipped the following day, but could take 1-2 business days to leave our warehouse if there are weather rated problems or some rare uncontrollable situations. Expedited Orders placed on a Friday will be processed the following Monday.

    Non-Expedited Orders take an average of 3-10 business days to leave our warehouse.

    The Estimated Delivery Time after leaving the warehouse is:

    US Orders

    First Class Parcels - 3 to 7 business days

    Priority Mail - 2 to 3 business days

    Express Mail - 1 business day (2 day deliver for some remote locations)

    International Orders

    First Class Parcels - 7 to 21 days business days

    Priority Mail - 5 to 10 days business days

    Express Mail - 3 to 5 days business days

    The total delivery time is based on when the order leaves our warehouse and what shipping method you selected during checkout. International Orders can take longer to receive, if the Customs Office in that country decides to inspect the package.
