Order Acceptance Policy
Receipt of an electronic order and/or issuance of an order number does not constitute the acceptance of an order by Safe-Card ID Services. All orders received are subject to verification of customer information and payment method prior to actual order acceptance. We reserve the right to decline or discontinue business with any client for any reason. First-time credit-card buyers will be subject to stringent anti-fraud checks prior to card use or acceptance, and may be required to provide additional identifying information prior to order acceptance and shipment. We do not accept orders charged to credit-cards issued by, or billed to institutions or individuals located outside the United States. For orders shipped to locations outside of the United States, whether directly or via freight forwarders or consolidators, the only accepted form of payment is good/settled funds in advance of shipment. Bank wire instructions will be provided upon request. Customers wishing to pay by check must either (1) have pre-established net payment terms in place with Safe-Card ID Services or (2) mail a check for full payment, and have said check clear, in advance or any shipment.
Returned Check Policy
Checks returned for any reason will result in an additional charge of $45.00.
Sales & Use Taxes
Safe-Card ID Services is required to collect and remit State and local sales & use taxes for orders shipped to addresses within the State of North Carolina. For sales to North Carolina resellers or distributors, North Carolina sales and use taxes can by removed by providing us with a copy of your current and valid Resale Certificate via fax or email.
At this time, we do not collect or remit sales taxes for orders shipped to other states, or to locations outside of the United States. Customers shipping to such addresses will be directly responsible to calculate and remit any applicable sales or use taxes directly with their local taxing authorities.
Shipping Information
All orders placed via the Safe-Card ID Services eStore are processed and dispatched within one business day, wherever possible. All non-custom products are shipped within 4-7 business days from the date of order receipt. Please allow 7-10 days from your order-date for delivery. Expedited shipping is available at extra expense if your requirements demand faster receipt.
Orders for out-of-stock items which are expected to be in-stock within 1 week will be charged or invoiced upon order receipt. Such orders will be given the highest priority for processing, and will ship as soon as new stock is received.
Note that, in order to expedite order fulfillment, we reserve the right to ship directly from product manufacturers or their distributors. This may result in any given order being fulfilled with multiple shipments, and potentially arriving on different dates and via multiple shipping carriers. Customer is responsible for incremental shipping costs, if any.
Unless specified by customer, we will make an election on the best shipping carrier to use on any given order, and as determined by cost and delivery speed. Customer may request specific carrier usage, and also expedited order delivery, either of which can result in higher shipping costs than using our default methods. Any such incremental costs are the responsibility of the customer.
At this time, we cannot accept requests for 3rd-party billing of shipping or freight charges for any online orders. If you require use of your own shipping account, please contact us by phone or email for available options.
Customer-provided Shipping Address Instructions
Customer must provide complete and correct shipping address information, including business name, building numbers and suite designations. Please check all order details and shipping information before submitting your final order. Any items left at the door of a business or residence are the responsibility of the Customer.
If incorrect shipping information is provided by the customer, and re-routing of an in-transit item is required, Safe-Card ID Services will apply an address correction fee of at least $15, and up to the actual amount charged by the shipping carrier. Customer will also be responsible for any additional shipping costs assessed by the carrier if re-delivering items to a different or corrected address is required.
Changes to the shipping address after the order has been processed may result in additional handling and delays in delivery. We are not responsible for extra charges or delays as a result of changes made by the customer, or due to incorrect information provided at the time of the order.
Repairs, Storage and Abandoned Equipment
Safe-Card ID Services is an authorized repair center for ID-card printers and peripheral modules. As such, we often receive equipment in need of repair. Upon receipt of any such items, we will acknowledge our receipt in a timely fashion. We will also provide estimates of repair costs in a timely manner or, if pre-approved for repairs, will complete them as quickly as is practical. No equipment will be released for return shipping without payment or payment approval on approved credit. Any equipment submitted to Safe-Card ID Services for which return shipping and/or agreed repair costs have not been paid will be stored for up to 60 days, to allow clients ample opportunity to effect payment. If, after 60 days, payment is not received, any such equipment, whether repaired or not, will be considered abandoned and then the property of Safe-Card ID Services. Once any item becomes the property of Safe-Card ID Services, it may be disposed of by us in any manner.
