This scared me away -
WE NO LONGER ACCEPT CREDIT CARD ORDERS DUE TO RAMPANT FRAUD. Only Checks/Money Orders/Wire Transfers will be accepted.
Please note the following information on clearance times for orders:
Cashier's Check - Shipped same day as payment is received.
Money Orders - 3 Day Clearance Time
Wire Transfer - Wires generally take 1-3 days to arrive, items are shipped same day as our bank confirms receipt.
Checks - 5 day clearance required.
However looking further into it they do explain it and do come off sounding legit... From the site:
Do you accept credit cards?
No.
Why not?
We cater mainly to resellers and retail owners, not end consumers. Although we are happy to supply individuals with items this is not our main business. Our profit margins are not large enough to account for the rampant level of credit card fraud from sales not made in-person. If we do not have card in our hand when the sale is made then we have zero fraud protection if the real cardholder then disputes the charge (whether validly or otherwise).
Where are you based?
Our warehouse is located at:
3701 24th Ave. West
Bradenton, Florida 34205 USA
Please note we do not maintain a walk-in retail store! If you wish to pick up your order in-person then email us to arrange a date and time.
Can I pick up an order in person?
Of course! We are more than happy to arrange a date and time that is convenient. Please be aware that if paying on-the-day you will be required to pay cash only (no checks, money orders, credit cards, etc) because we will be unable to verify these instruments with our bank and clear then in our account on-the-spot. Please don't just turn up without making a prior arrangement with us to do so as there may be nobody around to meet you and you will not have any items reserved for you!
Do you have any other items than what is listed on the website?/
No. We constantly get new products in and they will appear on the site at this time.
How long does delivery take?
We ship via UPS 3-day within the USA and Canada within 24 hours of receiving cleared funds.
Are discounts for large orders available?
Not unless you order over $50,000 of products in one shipment. If so email us the details.
What does shipping cost?
Shipping within the USA and Canada via UPS 3-day is included on the prices on our website. For international shipping charges or if you would like it shipped faster (eg. UPS overnight) then email us for a price. Remember to tell us the zip code or country you are shipping it to!
Do you do drop-shipments?
Yes. If you sell via eBay or Yahoo! auctions you may hold your auction, accept payment from your winning bidders and then pay us for the goods. We will then ship the item directly to your customer. Our name and contact details do not appear either on or inside the package. They will assume it has come directly from you. This saves you shipping fees, delay, having to pay for items before you have a buyer, and the hassle involved in sending items out.
How long have you been in business?
We've been operating in the offline world since 1998. We've recently setup this online store to attract resellers in particular who sell on eBay.
Do you accept Paypal?
No! See http://www.paypalwarning.com and http://www.paypalscams.com for plenty of reasons why nobody who values their business should accept paypal.
I have more questions. Who should I contact?
You can email
[email protected]
Can you call me to discuss a product?
Sorry but we cannot do this. While we value our customers very highly it is not possible for us to spend long periods of time discussing product features when this information is available on the Internet. If you still have questions we are happy to reply to an email. If we speak to you on the phone and you ask questions that our rep has no answers for on-the-spot it is a waste of your time as well as hours. If you email us then we'll be happy to research your question and provide an intelligent answer.
