PAYMENT POLICY
Payment Policy
Credit Cards & Debit Cards
We accept MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover. Simply follow the checkout process, and enter your credit card information as requested. Your credit card is charged at the time of purchase. We only accept debit cards with the Visa or MasterCard logo. This transaction will be processed just like a credit card. You will not be required to enter your PIN number.
Pre-authorizations
You might notice what looks like a pending charge from $.01 up to $5 from us when viewing your credit or debit card account information online. This is not a charge, it is a pre-authorization. Pre-authorizations are only used to confirm that a card is valid before we attempt to charge the full order amount. These pre-authorizations are automatically voided immediately after they process. Sometimes it might take a few business days for voided transactions to fall completely off your credit or debit card account. Don't worry, we will never attempt to capture these funds under any circumstances.
Backorders
If you order an item that is temporarily unavailable from the manufacturer, we collect payment at the time of purchase. You will receive an email notice about your backorder with an estimated shipping date. If you are not interested in waiting, please contact our customer relations team via email. We will be happy to recommend an alternative style or simply refund your purchase. As always, we are happy to help!
Declined Payments
If your card is declined, you will receive an error message. Your card will not be charged, and no order will be processed. There may be a pending transaction on your account until your card-issuing bank removes the authorization. This usually happens within 2-5 business days. Your card may be declined for the following reasons:
- General decline - This is usually caused by insufficient funds or a credit-limit issue. Contact your card-issuing bank for further details.
- AVS (Address Verification System) mismatch - The billing address you entered during checkout does not match the mailing address associated with your credit card billing statement.
- Card code mismatch - The 3-4 digit CVV2/CVC2/CID code on the back of your credit card, or front for AMEX, does not match what was entered during checkout.

PayPal
To make a purchase using PayPal, select PayPal as your payment method. You will find this payment method on the shopping cart page. The PayPal login button is listed below the "Secure Checkout" button. To log into your PayPal account, click the “Check out with PayPal” button. This will take you directly to paypal.com where you will enter your billing, shipping and payment information. Once you are logged in, you will be directed back to the shopping cart page on our site to confirm your order.
Money Order, Personal Check or Cashier's Check
We do not accept money orders, personal checks and cashier's checks.
Prepaid Credit or Gift Cards
If you are using a Visa, MasterCard or American Express pre-paid credit or gift card, register the card by calling the card-issuing bank. During the checkout process, be sure the billing address matches the address used when registering the card. If there is an address mismatch, the transaction will be declined and a hold may be placed on your card. Please contact the card-issuing bank if this occurs.
Refunds
Once we receive and inspect your return, a refund will be applied to your account. PLEASE NOTE: Refunds are not instantaneous. Allow 2-8 business days for a refund to be processed. The length of this wait period will depend on your bank or credit card company. After 90 days, we can no longer apply refunds directly to credit cards. In those instances, we will mail you a refund check. If you paid by check and request a refund, you will also be issued a refund check.
Sales Tax
We are required by state law to charge sales tax on all orders shipped within the state of California.
