Can I stack two discounts?
Sorry, but only one coupon can be used on one order. We do not support stacking coupons. Thank you for understanding.
Why did my payment fail?
If you pay by credit card, your payment could be somehow denied at the checkout by our system in defense against possible credit card fraud. It’s a good idea to call your credit card company or bank ahead of time to let them know about the purchase so that it doesn’t get declined. Under such circumstances, here are 3 solutions for you:
- If you have a PayPal account, please try to pay by PayPal (PayPal credit is available).
- If you do not have a PayPal account, you can still select PayPal at the checkout page & click the "complete order" button. You will then be directed to a page with access to both PayPal and Debit/Credit card payment options (for the latter option, you don’t have to register for PayPal).
- Please switch to your other credit/debit cards.
Can I pay more for expedited delivery?
Every parcel will be sent out batch by batch according to the purchase date. We do not support expedited delivery with additional money. This is the same for all customers. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
