Thank you for your patience while we have been getting our shopping cart back up and running.

We do want to let you know that, due to the recent changes in the credit card industry, we are having to change the way that we were previously handling credit card transactions.

In order for us to provide you with as much protection as possible, we will no longer be taking credit card numbers via the website. Effective immediately, if you are wanting to pay by credit card please make that notation in the “special instructions” area. Once we have received your order we will contact you by telephone to complete the transaction. In this way we can make certain that your card number is protected at all times. As has always been our custom, your credit card is charged offline, rather than through online processing, and we do not put any charges through until such time as your order ships out.

While we realize that this might be somewhat cumbersome, at this time we feel that it is the best way for us to handle credit card transactions, while ensuring that our customers information is well protected.

We hope that you will bear with us while we work through the best way to deal with these new rules and any changes that might come about throughout the coming months.
