14. Why my credit card order did not go through / was cancelled?

While we value your business and always make every effort to ensure that all order/payment transactions are handled immediately, unfortunately your credit card order may not go though with our credit card processor for several factors. Please note that this is not a reflection on the willingness from our side for any of this rare occasion. These are some common factors bellow:

* You might enter wrong credit card information. Please recheck your credit card digits as well as other contact and billing information.
* The billing address did not match with the shipping address. Please confirm your apt # or suite number, PO or RR box address, state or zip code. We ship to the cardholder at the billing address only.
* There was insufficient funds available. On some debit cards (if you are using one), there may be a limit per daily transaction.
* You just recently change your address. If you recently changed your address, someone at your bank could have mistyped your information into the address verification system or your bank will not verify your billing address until you paid your first billing statement.

At the end, you can also replace your order with a different credit card or with the same card after you verify your information with your credit card bank for more information. You can also send us a check/MO as another "form of payments"
