How We Charge Your Credit Card

  • Authorizations: When An Order Is Placed, A Temporary Authorization Hold Will Be Placed On Your Credit Card.

    This is NOT an actual charge and this authorization hold will be removed within 1-3 business days of your order being shipped. This can vary based on your credit card or banking institution.

  • $1 Authorization: When Entering In Your Credit Card Number For The First Time, Your Bank May Authorize And Instantaneously Reverse In The Amount Of $1.

    On occasion you may see this $1 authorization but rest assured, this will fall off of your account within a few days. We do not charge your credit card until the order actually ships out. You are only charged for the merchandise that has shipped.

  • Settlement: As Soon As Your Order Ships, Your Credit Card Will Be Charged Only For The Items Shipped, Including Any Applicable Taxes.

    On occasion the authorization may still appear for a day or two after the items ship depending on your credit card or banking institution; however, be assured you will only be charged once.

  • Partial Shipment Authorization & Settlements: If Items In Your Order Do Not Ship At The Same Time, The Remaining Items That Have Not Shipped Will Be Re-Authorized.

    On occasion the original authorization may still appear for a day or two as well as the new authorization for the remaining items left to ship. As a result of multiple shipments against one order you will see multiple settlements for the specific items shipped in each package. Please be assured those settlements will equal the total amount of the order.

Sales Tax

We are required by law to charge and collect taxes on products that we sell. Taxes are charged based on the tax laws applicable to the location to which the order is being shipped or delivered. During checkout, an estimated applicable tax will be added to your order. This may vary slightly from the actual amount of tax as a result of different tax rates that apply to the items and destination of your orders. The actual tax amount will be included with your shipping confirmation email.
We do not charge sales tax on the purchase of gift card or e-gift certificates; however items paid for with gift cards or e-gift certificates will be charged applicable sales tax.
