How your order is handled

  • When placing your order with our "SECURE" shopping cart: (we use GeoTrust Security) (a gold PadLock will show in your I.E. browser url - upper right)
    ssl secure shopping padlock

    Every attempt has been made by our webmaster staff to ensure that this will be a pleasant experience. Each step takes you to the next, until your final submission. You will then receive a confirmation of your order as an automated response.

    The order is then received at our main office and a representive reviews the order, places it with the proper factory and emails an invoice copy to you in Acrobat PDF format for your review.
  • How do I know this site & shopping cart is Secure?
    Our Miva shopping is "secure" and "safe" for you. It is an encrypted, secure, order processing center hosted with a secure server (Miva Hosting) in CA. A quick check for any online store is to check your browser url line for a "padlock" emblem (normally in gold color) on the right side (when you are in checkout process). If it is showing, then you know your order is secure.
    We are also a member of the BBB (Better Business Bureau) and you can always click on the emblem on our site and see our status as a member. As a member, we must adhere to the rules and regulations to maintain our right to continue membership. We want you to check us out as we are proud of our personalized way of working with you, and wish you to see that for your own benefit. Also visit our testimonial page and learn why we have so many repeat customers, who also refer us to their friends and families.
  • Credit Card Information:
    Your credit card information is valuable and needs protection, therefore, we will never ask you to send your credit card information via e-mail. Providing us with this information on our secure order forms ensures your protection. Or you are welcome to call in your order on our toll free line. 1shop4u does not store your credit card information, once processed, it is deleted permanently. If you re-order, you will have to again supply your current credit card information.
  • Payment Methods:
