Security and Shopping
We use a secure shopping cart for your protection and ease of shopping. You can add as many items as you like to your cart. Then “Checkout” once your order is complete. First time customers will have to enter information and may choose to set up a password, but once you’ve registered with us, you can log in at any time to check the status of your order as well as place additional orders with minimal typing. Tracking numbers and other information will be available as soon as your order ships. Backorders or other notations will also be made here, so be sure to check it if you have any questions before you contact us. Registered customers may receive very occasional emails from us – We generally send notices when we’ve added new items, are having a special sale, etc. Our customer list will not be shared with anyone else and we promise such announcements will be at a minimum.
For your security and protection please do not email credit card or other personal information! Use our cart only or contact us for a link to a secure message area only we can access.
Receipts: Our Shopping cart provides a printable receipt upon completion of your order emailed to the address you provide when ordering or you can view your order and print it at any time from the store. Please keep this for your records and refer to the Order Number it contains when contacting us. If you do not receive it, you most likely gave an incorrect email address and it has bounced. Any orders with bouncing email addresses are held until you contact us, so if you do not receive a receipt within 48 hours, please email us. Please always include your full name, order number (or transaction ID), and email address when contacting us for faster response. A receipt is also mailed with your order for your permanent records.
