Is it safe to enter my credit card information on the website? |
 |
Yes. In addition to the security benefit of password authentication, we use Secure Server Software (SSL) to maintain the safety and privacy of your information. SSL is the industry standard and the most effective way to conduct secure commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name and address, so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet. Whenever you see a URL that begins with https://, you are using SSL.
 |
When will my credit or debit card be charged for my purchase? |
 |
We will charge your credit or debit card when we ship your order. Members paying for their order with a credit or debit card have the option of choosing Express Delivery to receive their shipments in 5 to 6 business days (there is a surcharge for this option.)

 |
For your introductory package, the shipping and handling charges will be $5.74 for the first item, and $1.99 for each additional item plus sales tax where applicable.
