What is the process when placing orders?

We strongly recommend placing orders online for our fastest service. As the weight of the fiber bumps can slightly vary, we bill by weight, not unit. The order confirmation generated by the website will provide an estimated charge for the products as well as a shipping estimate. Actual weights and shipping charges will be adjusted once the order is complete. Once you have submitted your order online, an authorization will be placed on your given method of payment.

Once the order has been completed, you will be invoiced for the actual weight of product shipped and actual shipping charges will be assigned. At this time your final amount will be adjusted, and your payment will be finalized. You will receive your invoice and FedEx tracking numbers via email.

How are payments processed?

Payments are processed through PayPal. You can use a PayPal account or use any method of payment approved by PayPal.
