Payment:
Secure online payments may be made using your credit card, debit card, or bank account through PayPal. You do not need to have a PayPal account to process your credit card payment through PayPal's service. PayPal allows you to make purchases on our website without revealing your credit card number or financial information. PayPal provides a safe, quick, and simple means to purchase online, using secure ssl encryption to protect your private information. It is not necessary to have a PayPal account in order to pay with your credit/debit card or bank account. However, you do have the option to sign up for an account with PayPal, which is absolutely free. If you require further information about PayPal’s services and security policies, please visit their website at www.PayPal.com.
**IMPORTANT NOTE** For customers using PayPal, items will only be shipped to a "confirmed" PayPal address. If you would like your package shipped to an address other than your "confirmed" PayPal address, please contact PayPal and they will help you confirm the alternate shipping address and add it to your PayPal account. For the safe arrival of your package, we only ship to addresses that have been confirmed by PayPal.
