What happens after I place an order?

After you complete the checkout process, a "Thank You" page will appear which will display your online order confirmation number. This number confirms that your order has been placed successfully. We will send a copy of this online order receipt via email within one hour.

After your order has been processed, we will send you a second email with your order number and order details. If there are any problems with your order, one of our customer service associates will contact you by telephone or email.

Is it safe to use my credit card online?

Yes. We encrypt all of your personal information, including your credit card number, when it is sent over the Internet using SSL (secure socket layer) technology. When your browser is in secure mode, a blue bar will appear at the top of the browser window and an unbroken key or lock icon at the bottom right corner of the window. This indicates that the transaction is secure.

When will my credit card be charged?

We will obtain authorization for the credit card charges when we process your order. Authorization usually occurs within 24 hours after you place your order. Your credit card will actually be charged when your order is shipped. You will not be charged for backordered items until they are available for shipping. If we are unable to secure authorization, you will be contacted by a customer service specialist.

Why is my basket empty?

You may not have selected a quantity for the item you wish to order. At the product page, select the product or products you wish to purchase, enter the quantity you wish to order, and click either "Continue Shopping" or "Checkout".

If your product is still not showing up in your basket, your browser may not be set to accept "cookies". Our site uses cookies to keep track of the items in your shopping basket. We do not include personal or billing information in these cookies, so there is no security risk in accepting them. You may change your browser option to accept cookies in the preference menu selection for your browser.

What does "out of stock" mean?

Items that are currently unavailable for shipment are referred to as "out of stock." You may still place an order for an out of stock item and it will ship to you as soon as it becomes available. (Expected availability dates are listed with out of stock items - please remember that these are estimated dates of arrival to our warehouse.)

You will not be charged for an out of stock item until the item is shipped from our warehouse. If you do not wish to place an order for an item that is out of stock, we will gladly notify you via email when the item becomes available. Simply click on the "notify me" link that appears with out of stock items and provide us with your email address.
