Which credit cards do you accept?

We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express as well as debit cards. Credit Card payments are processed when your order is ready to ship and you will only be charged for the items shipped.

Important Note for Debit Card Users: Many banks put a hold on the funds for your purchase at the time that the card is authorized. Please be aware that although we have not actually charged your card for any unshipped products, the funds for those products may not be available for other purchases. Please contact your card issuing bank to find out about your bank’s specific rules.

Will my credit card payment be secure?

Your purchase with us 100% Secure and is backed up by our 100% Security Guarantee. Our store features the latest in secure ordering and checkout technology. Your information is safe with us. Our store is hosted on the Yahoo! Shopping platform and is also backed up by the Yahoo! Buyer Protection Program.

Which currency are your products priced in?

All products on our site are priced in US Dollars. Your order will be charged in US Dollars. We are not liable for fees charged by your credit card company for processing a dollar based transaction into another currency.

Can I pay by check or money order?

If you decide to pay by a personal check, business check, cashier’s check or money order, you must complete and send our order form (PDF) along with your payment. All types of checks must clear before shipment. We also accept International Money Orders as well as checks but they must be denominated in US Dollars and will delay processing of your order. If you wish to avoid such delays, we recommend a different form of payment.

Do you accept Paypal?

In order to pay with PayPal simply select the "Pay using PayPal" option which is located below the "Pay using Credit Card" option at the checkout page.  Please note that your shipping address must be confirmed with PayPal (verified for International Paypal Accounts).

Can I use Google Checkout?

Yes. We offer Google Checkout subject to certain restrictions imposed by Google, Inc. If you decide to pay with Google Checkout please select the "Google Checkout" option on the checkout page. Certain items that we offer are restricted by Google, Inc., and you will not be able to use the "Google Checkout" option for these items. If this is the case, you will see a "Google Checkout Not available for these items" button on the checkout page. For details on the Google Checkout policies and restrictions, please see "Google Checkout Content Policies". If you would like to get more information, please contact Google Checkout Buyer Support.

Do you accept COD?

We do not accept COD payments at this time.

How do you process International Payments?

We accept Bank wire transfers for international payments.  If you choose to pay by wire transfer, your bank will charge you a fee to process your wire.  Please note that there is an additional $45 bank service fee for this payment type that our bank charges us, so $45 USD should be added to your order total.  Please be sure to add the wire transfer fees to the cost of your order.  Not including these fees could delay processing of your order.

American Express Credit Cards are also an acceptable and preferred method for international orders over $200. Provided the package is shipped to the billing address on the credit card statement. This is because we are able to verify these accounts in most areas of the world.
PayPal Payments from customers outside of the United States are accepted from PayPal Confirmed and Verified addresses only.

All prices are in US Dollars. For more details on International Orders, please see our International Orders Policy page.
