Credit Card Authorization & Processing
What happens when I place an order?
Whenever an order is placed on our website using a credit card, our software negotiates with your bank to hold the amount specified on your order, allocating that amount specifically for our use. Whether the sale is approved or declined.
What if my order is “In Process”?
You don’t have to do anything, your card went through and your product will ship within 1-2 business days unless there is a problem with stock, in which case we will contact you and inform you of the lead time.
What if my order is “On Hold”?
If your order confirmation email informs you that your status is “On Hold” then there was a problem and the charge was not approved. Most of the time it is with personal information verification, such as, the Address Verification Service (your billing address associated with the card) or the Card Verification Value (the ‘security code’ for your card, three digits on the back for Visa or MasterCard and four digits on the front for American Express) Keep in mind that even if your card was declined the amount negotiated with your bank is still allocated since the bank is not always involved in the “Declining” or “Approving” of your card. You are not required to contact us, although if your order is not a rush (Next Day Air, Second Day Air or Three Day Select) then we may take up to 1-2 business days for us to contact you. When we do get into contact we will ask for personal information to ensure that you are the card holder, this information is used for manually processing your card with a physical credit card machine. This creates a new allocation of funds on your account so it is important to make sure that there are plenty of funds available because there will essentially be two instances of allocated funds. If the card is declined again we strongly advise not running the card again because it will allocate even more on the card. If the card is approved then one allocation becomes a charge, the other allocation is released and goes away within 3-4 business days depending on your bank.
