How to Order

Add to Cart
  • Click the "add to cart" button (located on the product page), to put an item in your virtual shopping cart
  • You can update and remove items from your cart at any time by clicking on the "Update Shopping Cart" link".
  • When you are ready to check out just click the "checkout" button.

Payment Options

We accept Credit cards, Paypal, International Money Orders and Western Union Money Transfers.

Credit Card/Paypal

Although we use Paypal to process our credit card transactions, purchasers are not required to have a Paypal account to do so.   During the check-out process purchasers will have  the option to "Pay by Credit Card or Log in" when directed to the Paypal website.

If you do have a Paypal account you may log in and process your payment, if this is your preferred method of payment.

*note:  It has come to our attention that buyers who use email addresses to make their purchases  that are associated with or have been associated with a Paypal account, are not being offered the option to pay by credit card alone, without a Paypal account.   The apparent cause is that Paypal is detecting an account cookie on the user's pc.  We are looking for a way to circumvent these occurances but until that time we apologize for any inconvenience to our customers.

International Money Orders

We are happy to accept your Money Order, (U.S. Dollars).  We accept International Money Orders only, as other types may not be cashable in Canada.  Upon placing your order you will receive a confirmation email.  If you choose to pay by money order, your item(s) will then be placed on hold. If your payment does not arrive within 14 days we will release the hold on the item.

Western Union Money Transfers

We also accept Western Union Money transfers.  There are over 370,000 Agent locations worldwide in over 200 countries. Pay with cash at an Agent location or with your credit card online.

During check-out, simply choose Western Union Money transfer, as the method of payment.   You will be issued a confirmation number for the money transfer.  This  confirmation number must then be forwarded to us in order for us to receive the transfer.  The number must be received within 7 days or hold on item(s) will be released.



Layaway

Items may be placed on Layaway for a period of 60 days for any order totalling $100.00 or more, with the payment of 1/3 down.  Second Payment will become due on or before day 30 and third payment is due on or before day 60.  If final payment is not received prior to day 60 the hold on items will expire and monies paid will be refunded minus a 25% re-stocking fee.

There is no return of items purchased on layaway.


If you wish to use our layaway option simply inter the word "layaway" (lowercase) in the coupon code box prior to checking out.  Our shopping cart will automatically calculate the 1/3 down payment amount.   Your items will then be placed on hold.  If we have not received your 2nd and 3rd payments prior to day 30 and day 60 respectively, we will send you electronic invoices for those payments. 

You may pay the balance owing at any time prior to day 60.  We will ship your item or items upon receipt of the final payment.  If, at any time you wish us to send you an invoice for the balance owing, please let us know.
