Do you charge sales tax?
Yes. As an online business, we are required by state laws to collect sales tax on orders shipped to any state where we meet the legal requirements. The specific sales tax amount is calculated based on the tax rates of your shipping address and will be automatically displayed during the final step of checkout.
When will my credit card be charged? What is an authorization hold?
When will my credit card be charged? What is an authorization hold?
When you first place an order, your bank places a temporary authorization hold on your card for the total order amount. This is not an actual charge, but a standard security measure to verify that the funds are available. You might see this as a "pending" transaction on your online statement.
We only capture the final payment and officially charge your card once your order has shipped from our warehouse. At that point, the temporary hold is removed and replaced by the final charge.
