Fraud

  • Please note, due to increased fraud on internet orders, shipping to an address that is different than the billing address may delay the shipment of your items. This is because we need the time so we can verify and confirm all identity aspects of the order, this will include but not limit CVV numbers, addresses, and phone numbers at the billing address.

Example if there are three shipping addresses the total of the order must be over $300.00 to qualify for free shipping to all addresses.
