| why is address verification so
important? |
-
I will ship only to an address that I can verify
either
through my automated merchant service or directly by calling the issuing
credit card or bank (which is why I ask for the phone # from the back of
your card).
-
Address verification
ensures that the person ordering the merchandise is the person who legally
owns the credit card - otherwise items purchased with a valid but
stolen credit card # could be shipped anywhere without the knowledge of
the cardholder until the next billing statement was received.
-
Shipping only to a verified address protects
the customer and my business from internet
and mail order fraud. It is also a legal requirement
of my merchant credit card acceptance contract.
-
You may contact your credit card issuer and request
an alternate shipping address be placed
on file with your account that I will be able to verify by phone.
-
I realize there are many internet or mail order sellers
that will ship to an unconfirmed address in violation of their merchant
contract because they are afraid to lose a sale. There are also many reasons
why a legitimate customer may want a purchase shipped to an alternate address,
and I sympathize with the inconvenience caused when I will not, but you
must understand my strict policy is for the
safety of my business and my customer's accounts.

notes for international orders
|
-
I use the nationwide standard MC/Visa automated address
verification service that cannot verify most foreign addresses.
-
American Express provides me with efficient international
address verification - this is the easiest
card for me to accept for international orders.
-
If you are paying with Mastercard or Visa you
must
provide me with an internationally accessible phone number for your card
issuer
so I may verify your address directly.
Please call the customer service for your card and verify that they can
provide a merchant in the US with address verification at that phone number.
