FAQS

We understand that encountering a snag during checkout can be genuinely frustrating. Whether it’s a declined payment, a vanishing cart, or a missing confirmation, these technical hiccups are never welcome. This guide walks you through the most common order issues step by step, so you can get back to shopping with as little disruption as possible.

When a Payment is Declined

Seeing a red message that stops your order can be confusing, but the root cause is often simpler than it seems. Our verification system is strict about matching the billing details you enter with what your card issuer has on file. A common scenario is that you’ve moved recently. The system may still be expecting your previous billing address, so entering that older address can often clear the block immediately. Another frequent trigger is the use of abbreviations in your billing information. The verification process requires the exact formatting on file, so spelling out words like “Street” instead of “St.” or “Apartment” instead of “Apt.” can make the difference. Before trying again, quickly check these two points:

• Try your previous billing address if you’ve relocated within the last few months.
• Spell out any abbreviated words in your billing address or name.

What to Do When Your Cart Empties

Having your cart suddenly clear itself without any warning or error message is a particularly jarring experience. Unfortunately, there is no self-service fix for this specific glitch. The only way to recover the session is to call Customer Service. Our support agents have the tools to investigate what happened and can often restore your cart’s contents on the spot.

Finding a Lost Order Confirmation

That moment of silence after placing an order, when no confirmation email arrives, is understandably unsettling. The first and most overlooked place to check is your junk or spam folder, as automated messages frequently land there. If it’s not there, the most likely culprit is an incorrectly entered email address during checkout. Contact us, and we can help you locate the order and correct the information. It’s also vital to remember that placing an item in your cart does not reserve it and does not save the sale price. If the item sells out or the promotion ends before you complete the purchase, the order cannot be processed.

Understanding Temporary Card Holds

Checking your statement and seeing multiple pending amounts can be alarming, but these are almost always temporary authorizations, not real charges. Each time you attempt to submit an order, your bank sets aside the total amount. It’s essential to know that an authorization is not a charge; it’s a temporary hold. Any unnecessary holds will fall off your statement once your bank verifies that we did not process the charge, a process that may take several business days. If you’d like us to investigate from our end, please reach out with the dollar amount and your billing address details so we can check for any duplicate orders in your name.

How to Get Further Help

If any of these issues persist after you’ve followed the steps above, the fastest way to a resolution is to contact us with specific details ready. Providing the exact dollar amount in question or your full billing address allows us to dive straight into the investigation and get you sorted out efficiently.
