Why has my order been put on hold ?
- To protect our customers and ourselves from credit card fraud on the internet, we use the AVS (address verification system) to match credit card numbers and security codes with customers.
Unfortunately, some banks do not provide up to date data for the AVS system.
In cases where we can not get a 100% AVS confirmation, we request that you fax a clear photocopy of both sides of your credit card so that we can verify that you are the true card owner. 
This prevents unauthorized persons from using your card number to place an order. 
Our fax number is  519-451-9341. (faxes are far more secure than email - never email your credit card number to anyone)
 Another option you may choose is to print a copy of your order and mail it along with an international money order to our address shown below.
We appreciate your help in preventing credit card fraud and promoting safe internet shopping.

Why don't you use Paypal ?
- The Paypal system is useful for instant payments only.
Our policy is to NOT charge a customer's credit card until the day an order is processed and ready for shipment therefore we do not wish to receive instant payments.

When do you charge my credit card ?
- Our policy is to NOT charge a customer's credit card until the day an order is processed and ready for shipment.
