International Online Orders

Outside the 48 states and International Shipping

At that time, you may either accept or decline the order. You are under no obligation to complete an order if you feel the International shipping fees are more than what you would like to pay. If you decide to cancel the order it is not a problem as we have not yet charged your credit card in any amount. When your order is received a "pre-authorization" is applied and we will only charge International orders after we have contacted you and received confirmation that you agree and approve all International shipping fees.
