Once we are satisfied with your order, we login to a secure server to obtain your credit card information. This is the same server that collected your information before. By keeping your credit card information on one server, we eliminate the risk of transmitting the credit card information from one server to another (via email, etc).
We
then bill your credit card for the amount authorized by your order. Should
your credit card be declined, we will call you directly to let you know,
and also to arrange alternate payment (be it another card, certified check,
etc). We understand that the cost of fine hardware can add up quickly,
and that many credit cards just aren't setup for large purchases.
