(We are trying to cut down on spam email and do not link our email address and apologize for the inconvenience.)

Educational Institutions: Credit Cards(MC, VISA) and Formal Purchase Orders are accepted. We will "Hold" goods pending PO with a faxed memo on your department letterhead.

CAVEAT: "Subject To Prior Sale": Until payment is received, or until formal acceptance of your Purchase Order is given, all items are subject to prior sale.

Payment: If you haven't done business with us before, we do expect payment at the time of ordering, except for universities, or by prior agreement. This has been our policy for a 15 years.
Form of Payment: All forms including Credit Cards(MC, VISA) are accepted.

Credit Cards: If you want to e-mail the info it is ok with us. If you prefer a higher level of security (if anyone takes your card info, we wager it will be from the trash of a restaurant, not by hacking into a router, subrouting, sorting and reading through millions of e-mails with a $10K outfit), then please call or fax in the information. No American Express, sorry.

Shipping: Transport of goods is a sensitive and important issue. Many goods are shipped with no problem at all but if your purchase is fragile, we recommend air shipment and insurance.
Air Shipments: Using an entire container is the most economical for large shipments. and our conclusion is that the best deal is deferred freight with individual airlines through small brokers. Fed-Ex is generally excellent, but milking the money out of every opportunity. Airborne Is a much better deal for equal, or in our opinion better, service.

YOUR INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT SHIPPING SUPERCEDE ALL OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: Of course, in spite of our opinions, we will obey your exact shipping instructions, however Risk transfers to you when the package leaves our dock. Please be insured.

IN OUR OPINION, AVOID : In our experience, (and opinion only) DHL is unreliable, and for trucking, Yellow Freight has been a disaster and we avoid it.
