| OFF-LINE ORDERING OPTIONS | |
PHONE ODERS: Due to a recent accident my hearing was damaged and I can no longer use the phone reliably. Choose one of the other options or specify PayPal payment by email. I'll send you a PayPal request for payment, my preferred payment method. You need not join PayPal to do this and it's simple and free. This is the best payment method for international and APO orders. If you have questions or cocerns, email me. FAX OR MAIL ORDERS: If you choose not to use the Shopping Cart and wish to fax or mail your order, email us with the Item Name & Item Code (the code is above the main picture when you click on an item), your shipping address and contact phone number. Also please specify how you will be paying. We will notify you of the total amount due. We will reserve the item for 10 days. If payment is not received within 10 days the item will be returned to active stock. Good funds for all checks must be received by us before orders are shipped. That can delay shipment for 2 weeks or more. |
