Problems with the website?

If you are proceeding with an online purchase but experiencing problems then please review the following:-

Connecting to the secure card payment page should take only a few seconds. However, as a secure link is being negotiated and established with your browser, it's not uncommon for this process to take more than a few seconds during a busy period - please be patient.

If there has been a period of browser inactivity (5+ mins.), your browser may 'timeout' a secure link thinking it is not required any longer. See next point below to correct this.

If still nothing seems to be happening after a short wait then it may be necessary to either;

a) click on the 'refresh'/'reload' button on your browser toolbar to refresh the secure connection being attempted or,

b) go back to the previous page, then click again the button to send your order or to confirm your details.

Secure links can on occasion 'drop' due to line 'noise' or line interference. If you feel this has happened to you after you have entered your credit card details then do not worry. Please remember that only after a successful transaction will a mail be sent to the email address you provided confirming your order. No email message - No transaction success.

Please contact us directly by phone or email if you are unable to continue with making an on-line purchase.

Should your browser appear to have 'frozen' (not responding to any button or link clicks after a short wait) then unfortunately, it may be necessary to close down your browser and start again.

Sales tax

Companies selling over the Internet are subject to the same sales tax collection requirements as any other retailers. Remote sellers (including Internet retailers and catalog companies) are generally required to collect taxes where they have a physical selling presence (i.e.: retail store or office location). If they do not have any such presence, they are not required to collect sales taxes. Our store location is in New York, New York so our tax rate on all orders will be 8.375%.

The Internet Tax Freedom Act (ITFA) has been renewed through October 31, 2007. Please note, the ITFA was primarily intended to prevent state and local governments from imposing new or discriminatory taxes on Internet transactions and on Internet access. Despite the name of the Act, ITFA does not preclude state and local governments from imposing existing sales tax collection requirements on companies selling over the Internet.
