What if the item I want is on backorder?

If this is the case, we will place the out-of-stock item (or items) immediately and automatically on backorder (unless you indicate otherwise) until that item (or items) arrives. All other in-stock items will be shipped immediately to you (unless you request otherwise). You may make any prior arrangements or requests with the salesperson when ordering the products.

What happens if my merchandise is damaged when it arrives?
We make every effort to prevent shipping damage. We know that many situations are unique, but take the following important steps if there appears to be shipping damage:
  • If your shipment shows any physical sign of damage, you should note it on the freight bill or receiving ticket and have the driver sign it.
  • Please keep the original shipping carton and all packing materials.
  • Notify us immediately (within 5 days of receiving goods) so that we can begin the claims process.
  • **We are not responsible for damage that may incur to the product while shipping from you to your customer or its return to you. To avoid this, we encourage you to use sufficient packaging; most of our items come to you in a shelf display box that will not withstand the rigors of shipping.

    When I try to order something, why won't my credit card number work?
    Here are most common reasons:
    Credit card number you provided is not correct, always double check.
    Expiration date is not correct.
    Incorrect billing address – make sure the billing address you provide is the same with the address statement it is mailed to.
    In case when your credit card is declined we are not provided with an explanation; to check why it was declined call your bank or credit card.
