Do you accept orders my mail? |
Yes we do for domestic shipments only. You must use this PDF form. Retail Mail Order Form |
Why haven't I received my order yet? The normal transit time for Domestic 1st Class Mail is 2-3 business days. The normal transit time for Domestic Priority Mail is 1-3 business days. The normal transit time for International 1st Class Mail is 10-15 business days. The normal transit time for International Priority Mail is 7-10 business days. These are estimates only and USPS does not guarantee these times.. Delays can occur such as weather, vehicle breakdowns, aircraft difficulties, human error, and customs hold ups. USPS does advise to wait up to 2 weeks for Domestic shipments since delays can occur. If you do not receive your shipment after the 2 week period please email us so we can make it right with you. USPS does advise to wait up to 30 days for International shipments since delays can occur. If you do not receive your shipment after the 2 week period please email us so we can make it right with you. This wait time is very rare but has occurred. There have been very few packages lost by USPS and 99% of all packages arrive within the 2 week Domestic or 30 day International period.. (Back to Top) |
Why was my credit card charged twice? |
One amount is an "Authorization" and the other is a "Captured" amount. When you check out of the shopping cart using a credit card, the monies are only "Authorized" for payment. We do not "Capture" any funds until items actually ship.
Normally you will never see an Authorized transaction on your actually paper statement from your card company. But you will see these appear on your online account page, and they drop off in 48 hours or so. If you see 2 different line items, then that is most likely because we have split shipped your order and have only "Captured" the funds for the items that have shipped to you. (Back to Top) |
Why didn't my coupon from sites like tjoos.com or ultimatecoupon.com work? |
These "coupon sites" are dishonest and unethical, as they post many business's copyrighted information without their permission. We apologize for any inconvenience. Without our permission they have posted our copyrighted website images and then make dishonest claims that we have coupons available through their site. We have not given them permission to do so. When you click on the phony coupon, it will even tell you it is activated. This is a lie. There are a few of these sites that steal online business's copyrighted information, with the only goal of getting a high traffic number to their site so they can eventually sell it for a profit.. (tjoos.com was just sold to a large internet company). We apologize for any confusion. (Back to Top) |
