Upon ordering, an authorization for the full amount of the order will occur. This is a ‘pre-authorization’. If the item is in stock, your credit card is then charged immediately. If an item is not available for immediate shipping, your credit card will not be charged until the item is ready to ship to you. To avoid delays in processing your order please provide the billing address and phone number that is on file with your credit card company. Orders shipped to an alternate address, meaning an address not on file with your credit card company, may result in a delay in processing.
