Back To Top

Your website says "Availability: Yes", but why does it say it is not available when when I try to add it to my cart?
Our website uses a real time inventory system for stock availability. You may experience this when trying to add a item to your cart or when you checkout. Stock is not allocated to your order until you checkout. You may call or email us for an estimated arrival date of the product.

Back To Top

Your website said that an item was available. Why did I receive an email saying that the product is out of stock?
Despite our attempts to keep a 100% accurate inventory, errors can occur due to several different factors. Defective units, returns, incorrect physical counts, etc. can all lead to mistakes in our inventory system. In the event that this occurs, we will immediately contact you by phone and email. Please make sure you provide us contact information where you can be easily reached.

Back To Top

I already sent my order, but why did I get message saying that my address or zip code was bad?
All credit card orders are processed through an Address Verification System to prevent fraudulent orders for the safety of all our customers. Please provide the correct billing address for your credit card. If you are shipping to an address other than your shipping address, you must have the shipping address on file with your bank or credit card company.

Back To Top

I only ordered one item, why is my shipping cost so high?
Our shipping prices are based on actual shipping costs. Each order is calculated by weight and location. Other companies may  factor in the cost of shipping for the product or have flat rates for each individual product. That makes it costly for someone to purchase multiple items. This ensures the fairest cost to all of our customers whether they buy 1 or 100 items. For small, lightweight orders, we recommend using Super Saving Shipping for anything under 8 ounces and Priority Mail for 1-2 pound orders.

Back To Top

I want to purchase a large quantity. Can I get a price quote?
Please reserve this for wholesale orders only. please email wholesale@svc.com for a price quote. Our general customer service representatives are not authorized to give any price quotes or discounts.
