DVD-Gear.com Frequently Asked Questions

 
Have a question about our services and policies?  This is the place to receive answers to the most frequently asked questions about doing business with DVD-Gear.com.

Select a question:

Credit Card Transactions - Your credit card is debited only when your order is filled. If part of your order is placed on back order, you are charged only for the items we ship, plus the full cost of shipping. The items on back order will be shipped when available and your card debited for only the outstanding items.

Payment by check - After receiving the check, two to three weeks is allowed for the check to clear the bank.  After this period and before shipping the order, the bank may be contacted to verify receipt and payment of the check.

About security - We are aware that many people are wary of e-commerce and on-line shopping.   Most of these fears center on the transmittal of personal and financial information over the Internet and the perceived risk of releasing sensitive data to unscrupulous eyes.

As an on-line shopper, you should know that the Fair Credit Billing Act provides protection for consumers who use their credit cards online.  This law gives consumers the right to dispute charges on their monthly bill.  In general, consumers are held liable only for the first $50 of fraudulent charges.

When you shop on-line with DVD-Gear.com, our secure (SSL) server encrypts all payment information that you transmit to us while using our site. This includes your name, address and credit card number and expiration date. The encryption process takes all of the personal information and converts it into code that is securely transmitted over the Internet.

You also do not need to worry about your e-mail address or other personal information being given to other companies.  We do not sell and/or share our names with anyone-period.

If you still do not wish to provide your credit card number to us via the internet, you can still order your products online and choose  "Order by Credit Card using FAX" or "Order by Credit Card through Postal Mail" as your payment type during the checkout process.  You will then be presented with a form to print, fill-in your credit card info and then fax or mail to us.
