Credit Card Decline Code Explanations

My credit card was declined and I was given an error code. What does it mean?
Credit cards are declined for one of the two reasons 99% of the time.

Declined #2 - This means your card company declined the transaction from going through. Most of the time the expiration date or CVV code
was entered incorrectly, please double check those numbers on your card.  This can be any number of reasons and should be addressed with
your card company directly. Unfortunately there is NOTHING we can do on our end to change this outcome.


Billing Address Mismatch Code #27
- On a credit card that is issued within the US, this means the billing information
(this includes: first name, last name, and address) does not match what your card company has on file. Sometimes this can
be attributed to a simple typo so be sure to double-check what you have entered. If it still does not work after double-checking
 what you have entered, please contact your card company to verify what they have on file. If it is an International credit card,
then the decline is because our credit card servicer will not allow the use of this credit card.

CVV code-This is the last three digits on the back of your card where you sign your name.  For American Express cards the CVV code is the four digits right on top of the card number.

Billing address- All orders placed will not go through unless you put in the correct billing address.  The billing address is what your bank or card company has on file as your mailing address.

Sales Tax:
California residents will pay a sales tax of 8%.

Anit Fraud protection:
We use AVS verification system for all card authorizations. The Address Verification System (AVS) is an advanced level of credit card security that is now used to help guard against credit card fraud. When a card is sent to the bank for processing the house number portion of the address and postal code entered with the order must match that of the cardholder on file. This is another way to ensure that the owner of the card is in fact the one using it. If the address does not match, then we will email you immediately to advise that your order will be held until we can obtain a bank-verified address from you. If we do not hear from you, we will void the sale and your funds will be released within 3-5 business days by your bank. Your billing address must exactly match what is on file at your bank. You may use a shipping address which is different than your billing address. Ifbothyour address and zip code fail AVS, the order will be rejected.

Reasons why my card is getting declined

  1. If you are getting a billing address mismatch, this you are not providing the billing address the card company has associated with that account. (Your card company might still have an old address to that account or if you are away at college the billing might be your home address).
  2. If you are getting a decline or CVV mismatch then either you are entering the incorrect CVV code or you are putting in the incorrect expiration date.
  3. Contact your card company to see find out the reason your card is getting declined

Stock Availabiity

Although we manage our back stock closely we sometimes experience what are known as stock outages. These stock outages happen when an item sells out faster that the orders are filled. When this occurs it can create delays on delivery.
We continuously adjust stock levels to minimize shipping delays but we are sometimes limited by product availablity from the manaufacturer, due to manufacture back orders or delayed delivery from the manufacture. If you have any questions, contact our sales department to verify stock availability.

 

Shortage/Mis-Shipments

On the rare occasion that we may ship you an item other than what you ordered, do not open the product or it will void your right to return it.

Because of our double-check packing system and UPC scanning systme we have a minimum amount of errors.
