Shipping

Payment and completing the order

Q: How do I pay?

A: You can choose the following payment methods:

-  Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Carta Aura credit cards

-  PayPal and PayPal pre-paid card

Q: Is my credit card protected? 

A: PayPal makes use of industry-standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology, the highest level of security currently available for secure Internet applications. Protecting your financial and personal information is one of our priorities. For this reason, your credit card information is handled by PayPal. PayPal automatically encrypts all sensitive information that is sent from your computer to the PayPal server. When you make a credit card payment on our site, PayPal verifies that your Internet browser is running Secure Sockets Layer 3.0 (SSL) encryption protocol or higher. This protocol protects the integrity of your data during transfer to the PayPal server by using a 168-bit encryption key (the highest level commercially available). Your personal information is stored in PayPal’s servers, where it is protected effectively, both physically and electronically. To further safeguard your credit card and bank account details, PayPal does not directly connect its firewall-protected servers to the Internet. Your credit card information will be processed and handled exclusively by PayPal, never by our staff.

Q: I am having trouble paying by credit card. What should I do?

A: If your purchase was not authorised, you can try to place the order again. Make sure that you enter all information correctly and try to resend the order. If you have entered all information correctly and are still having difficulty, you should contact the company that issued the card to request an explanation.

Q: When will my credit card be charged?

A: Your credit card will be charged for the total amount due when the package is shipped. If payment is made by PayPal, your credit card is charged when the order has been placed and confirmed.
