Online Ordering
NOTICE - We had enough trouble with the Ordering system that we built a new one from scratch. This one uses the PayPal shopping cart, and is much simpler, faster and should be more reliable (2/08). If you have any problems drop us a line (see the Contact page).
We use a shopping cart system that interfaces with PayPal. This way we don’t get involved with your credit card or bank information - that is between you and PayPal. PayPal also provides some protection for buyer and seller, and they help us with shipping labels, postage, etc. If possible use PayPal. They now take credit cards without joining up, so you can handle it like any other online vendor, plus they have other options like electronic checks. PayPal has made a lot of improvements recently.
If you do use PayPal, make sure you complete the PayPal shopping cart pages, otherwise we will not get the completed order. If you don’t see a payment in your PayPal records, it is not complete. Contact us if you have any question.
If PayPal really doesn’t work for you we can take checks, or a credit card number over the phone or in the regular mail. Send us email and we’ll set up a time for a phonecall to get the information. Please don’t send credit card information in email.
If you need to pay by check or phone you can use the PayPal cart, and then print out the result without going through PayPal payments. We will email you a phone number and time schedule since our phone is not always available for business calls.
Wire transfers (bank drafts) are slow, complicated and expensive, they charge us to receive the funds, and they usually charge the sender as well. Let’s avoid them if possible. Postal money orders are not very handy, the bank doesn’t want to take them, and the post office here doesn’t seem to know what to do with them either. Bank money orders or cashier’s checks are probably better, but should be drawn on a US bank. Paypal is a lot easier.
The new online store pages are in production now. If you have any problems send us email - See the Contact Us page listed in the navigation column.
