Ordering Policy

Billing and Shipping Address Matching

Both the billing address provided on the watch order, and the billing address on the credit card needs to match for the order to be processed.  In the event of a mismatch, a further inspection of addresses will be made.  If there is still no match, we reserve the right to cancel the order.

Address Verification of Credit Cards

At present, only a few countries support  *AVS  on Visa and MasterCard.  Notably the USA, Canada and the United Kingdom.
American Express does support AVS in most countries. 
Cardholders with a bank that does not support AVS may receive an error from our store due to the lack of data.

*The Address Verification System (AVS) is a system used to verify the identity of the person claiming to own the credit card. The system will check the billing address of the credit card provided by the user with the address on file at the credit card company. The other security features for the credit card include the CVV2 number and the expiration date.  



Shipping Policy

Shipping charges are created by UPS based on the total estimated weight of the shipment and the destination as created via www.ups.com.  International orders have the option of going with the USPS or UPS at their own discretion. Tracking information however, can only be provided by UPS.  Orders shipped by USPS cannot be tracked and therefore delivery cannot be guaranteed.  We cannot replace orders shipped via USPS that do not arrive at the intended destination.

Unless otherwise noted, all purchases ship within 48 hours of processing.  We ship M-Th before 2pm, excluding weekends and holidays.  If the items are out of stock at the time of ordering, you will be promptly notified via email. 

PO Boxes

Please note, we can NOT ship to PO Boxes.   We apologize for any inconvenience.

International Orders
All international orders must be shipped to the billing address.

Expedited Shipping

Expedited shipping is available on all US orders.  Orders will be processed normally, and shipped per your selected method.  Please note that all orders are shipped from our Corporate Headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio.  If you live in a surrounding state, you may wish to select standard ground shipping, as these orders typically arrive 1-2 days after shipping.

Holiday Shipping

We strive to ship most orders within 48 hours from the processing date.  However, during peak times such as Fathers Day, Mothers Day, Valentines Day, Christmas Day, etc., processing may exceed this time.  We give each order our personalized attention, and we appreciate your patience.

Sales Tax

Sales Tax is automatically calculated, when applicable, according to the guidelines set up by each individual state.
