If you have receive the merchandise and try to charge us back we will add Attorney's fee on top of your purchase and will advise your State Attorney General for theft of merchandise and Fraud which means you might be prosecuted as well.

 

What happens when you didn't receive your order?

If such is the case you will be charged for the shipping cost and it may take up to 30 -35 days for your refund so to give time to the package to reach either your location or be sent back to us. May we ask you to check with your neighbors someone might have picked it up or it might have been left on your porch or next to your front door if the mailbox is not the correct size to accept the package.

In the majority of our mailings we provide you with a "tracking" number and if the tracking didn't get registered (scanned) that doesn't mean it was not sent out as we drop all our packages directly at the USPS however Sometimes the USPS doesn't scan a package and that happens in 10% - 15% of the time.

We now also offer insurance for lost package which is your choice whether to get it or not however If we suspect that this may be a matter of fraud  file a claim against the recipient with the USPS.
