We are proud of the quality of our products, and
stand behind them 100%. If for any reason you are not
satisfied with the merchandise you ordered, just return
it within 90 days to receive a refund in the manner of
original payment. Your order will come with a
return form with convenient instructions.
Our online catalog uses "shopping basket
technology" to facilitate online ordering. When
you start shopping with us, our server automatically
assigns you a unique "shopping basket" where you can
store products you are interested in purchasing.
There is no limit to the amount of products you can have
in your basket, and you can add, remove or change the
products in your basket at any time before you check
out. You can even leave our site and come back
within 7 days and your shopping basket will still be
waiting for you (assuming you are using the same
computer and accept cookies).
There are two ways to add products to your
basket, and you can use either one or both:
- Browse our online
catalog and click "add to basket" when viewing a
product you want to purchase.
- Use our print
catalog quick order form to add items you found in
one of our printed catalogs using the 5-digit item
number.
When you are ready to check out, click the
"Check Out" button . Your connection with our
server will then "go secure" and all information you
send us will be encrypted to protect your privacy and
security. If this is your first time ordering from
us, you will need to fill out your shipping and billing
addresses, and a way to contact you if we have any
questions. If you ordered from a printed catalog,
please enter the 5-character code from the back of your
catalog, as well as your customer number. If you
ordered from the online catalog, you can leave the
catalog code blank, and if you do not know your customer
number, you can leave that blank also. Hit "continue"
when done.
On the next page, choose a shipping
method. Express shipping options are available for
an additional charge.
On the following page
choose a payment method (click for more information on
payment
methods). In the "messages" box, write any comments
you want our order specialists to know. These comments
will be reviewed before the order is processed. Then
click "continue."
When you hit "continue" your order will be submitted,
and you will see a thank you confirmation. You
will also receive a confirmation by e-mail, assuming you
entered your e-mail address properly in the address
page. If you chose the Phone/Fax/Mail option,
print your order form and follow directions
given.
We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption
technology to keep your personal information safe while
checking out from our site. Your name, address, and
credit card information is encrypted to ensure your
information cannot be read as it travels from your
browser to our server. Just look for the padlock or key
in your browser when you check out.
We accept payment using MasterCard, Visa,
American Express or Discover Card. If you do not wish to
send your credit card information over the Internet,
choose phone/fax/mail order in.
You can then:
- Call us at the 800 number listed with your
credit card number handy, and use the information on
your order form to place your order with one of our
customer service representatives. Note: your order
will be entered during your phone call - it is not
downloaded from the internet.
- Print out the order form and fax it to the
number listed with your credit card number and
expiration date.
- Or, simply mail in the printed order form with
a check or money-order to the address shown on the
form. We accept checks or money orders drawn in US

While we try to keep our online catalog
up-to-date, occasionally an item you order may be out of
stock or discontinued. In the case of an
out-of-stock, we will place the rest of your order, and
put the out-of-stock item on back order. We will
then notify you of the item on back order, and the date
it is expected in. It will be automatically sent
to you when it is back in stock.
If an item you ordered has been discontinued, we
will notify you and let you know if there are any
recommended replacement items.
Cookies are a term used for small text files a
web site sends to a visitor's computer to aid in
identifying and tracking that individual through the
site. We currently use cookies in our online
catalogs to keep track of a shopper's progress through
our commerce server. Each cookie is a very small
number that tells our server which shopper you are, what
products you currently have in your basket, what pages
you are on, what products you are viewing, etc. We do
not collect any information from cookies - it is purely
used to avoid any crossed-orders and to provide you with
better service (i.e. if you leave our site while
shopping and come back within 7 days, your basket will
still be there).
If you do not accept cookies, some features of
this site will be limited. We strongly recommend that
you accept cookies while on our site. It also helps to
turn the "cookie warning" off in your browser while you
are on our site. You can always turn it back on when you
are finished shopping.
Inventory stock status is kept updated
throughout the day. Occasionally an item showing in
stock may go out of stock by the time your order is
filled. In these cases, we will notify you of the delay
as soon as possible via e-mail or phone. We apologize
for any inconvenience this may cause.
