Why is the product I received not 100% identical to what is on the website?
We take great effort in being sure the product information on our website is 100% accurate when we add each new product.
However the reality is that manufacturers change their products from time to time and there is no way we can predict this with the 1000's of items we sell.
Therefore this message is clearly shown on the bottom of each product page ---
"All manufacturers’ specifications subject to change without notice. "



How long have you been in business ?
- We opened our store in June of 1980, and we started our web site in April 1996.

Why has my order been put on hold ?
- To protect our customers and ourselves from credit card fraud on the internet, we use the AVS (address verification system) to match credit card numbers and security codes with customers.
Unfortunately, some banks do not provide up to date data for the AVS system.
In cases where we can not get a 100% AVS confirmation, we request that you either send us the phone number of your credit card company (usually printed on the card) or fax a clear photocopy of both sides of your credit card so that we can verify that you are the true card owner. 
This prevents unauthorized persons from using your card number to place an order. 

Our fax number is  519-451-9341. (faxes are far more secure than email - never email your credit card number to anyone)

Another option you may choose is to print a copy of your order and mail it along with an international money order to our address shown below.

We appreciate your help in preventing credit card fraud and promoting safe internet shopping.
