However the reality is that manufacturers change their products from time to time and there is no way we can predict this with the 1000's of items we sell.
Therefore this message is clearly shown on the bottom of each product page ---
"All manufacturers’ specifications subject to change without notice. "

Paypal Verified

Why was my credit card not accepted by the Paypal or Chase payment system ?

- 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.

In order for Paypal and Chase processing to confirm that you are the authorized credit card owner the address you provide must EXACTLY match your credit card billing address.

If you find that your credit card is being rejected by Chase you may choose to pay as a Paypal guest.
As a Paypal guest you may use Visa, Mastercard, Discover or American Express.

We appreciate your help in preventing credit card fraud and promoting safe internet shopping.




What is the difference between using Paypal and Chase Paymentech Credit Card payment?Chase Paymentech

 - Both Paypal and Chase Paymentech Credit Card payment systems are highly secure methods of payment.
Payments are processed on Paypal or Chase secure servers so no credit card information is ever sent to our website.
Safer for both the customer and us!
