The remainder of the order will then be refunded to your credit card or paypal account. |

WHAT IS THE "DECLINED BY FRAUD SERVICE" MESSAGE? |

We use an advanced fraud screening service on all orders placed via credit card to protect against any unauthorized credit card usage. The Address Verification Service (AVS) we use requires that the billing address match the address that is used for your credit card statement. Customers may see a temporary "authorization" on your online bank statement after receiving this error, however your order has not been processed. The statement on your credit card is for authorization purposes only, and is required by the credit card company to allow us to verify the billing address prior to accepting your order.
