Q: I was notified that the item I am ordering is only available as a “special order” item. What does that mean?
A: This means that the product is not an item that we keep in stock and will have to be ordered. All special order items will take approximately three weeks to receive and are non-returnable and non-refundable.

|
|
Q: I need my order by tomorrow. Can you get it to me by tomorrow?
A: Whether overnight shipping can be done is dependent upon the location that the order is being shipped to and the day of the week you want it there. Since all of our orders are shipped by Fedex, all orders must be called in before 1PM weekdays for next day delivery. Also Fedex will not deliver on Saturdays or Sundays (overnight Saturday delivery is made only to certain areas by Fedex). If overnight is requested the customer will be charged the overnight shipping charge.

Q: How do I go about returning what I ordered?
A: Items can be returned within thirty days of purchase if they have not been opened or used as they must be in resalable condition. All returned items go through an inspection and approval
procedure before credit is given to the customer. In order to return an item we
provide the customer with a Return Authorization number and instructions for the return. It is important to get a Return Authorization number for returns as this is the only way our Returns Department processes the customer’s return and accounts are re-credited by our Accounts Department.

|
|
Q: I returned my order as per company instructions? Why have I not received credit yet on my account for the return?
A: Once our Returns Department receives the returned item it takes approximately two weeks to process the return and for our Accounts Department to re-credit the customer’s account. When that is done the customer will receive an e-mail (if they leave
an e-mail address with their original purchase) by our Accounts Department to
let them know that their account has been re-credited.

|
Q: What is the best way to pay so that I can get my order as soon as possible?
A: The methods of payment that we do accept are credit card, money order/bank check and personal check. A customer’s order is processed once payment is received. Payment by credit card will expedite the processing of the order. Orders paid for by check will take considerably longer to process as we wait for receipt and clearance of the check before orders are processed and shipped.
