7. Do you charge sales tax on orders? There is no sales tax on orders except those sent to addresses in California.

8. Why was my credit card declined? Credit card transactions may be declined either by the processor or credit card issuing bank for several reasons. This generally occurs for one of two reasons.

1. The customer's credit card issuing bank did not approve the transaction. This could be for lack of funds, frozen account status, invalid credit card number or expiration date, etc. Unfortunately the card issuing bank does not provide additional details regarding the reason for the decline. The customer will need to contact the card issuing bank for more information.
2. Declined (AVS Mismatch) or (Card Code) – This means the transaction was declined due to the Address Verification Service (AVS) or Card Code Verification (CCV) results. AVS compares the billing address provided in a transaction with the cardholder’s address on file at the credit card issuing bank. CCV compares the card code (a three- or four-digit security code that is printed on the credit card) provided in a transaction with the card code on file at the credit card issuing bank.

For example, if a customer repeatedly enters an incorrect zip code and you have chosen to decline all zip code mismatches, the preauthorized amounts may sum up to reach or exceed the credit card's credit limit. Even though the customer has not actually made a purchase with his credit card, future transactions will be declined regardless of the AVS response because the credit limit has been reached. Merchants should be aware that normal transaction fees apply for all resubmitted transactions.

It’s important to note that a transaction declined for AVS or CCV within the Authorize.Net system has still been approved by the card issuing bank and the requested funds will be placed on hold, thereby reducing the customer’s available credit. This is not an actual charge to the credit card and the bank will release the funds back to the card after the authorization expires (between two weeks and a month depending on the bank). If requested, a hold can potentially be voided by contacting the customer’s credit card issuing bank.

Authorize.Net cannot remove existing authorizations that are held on the customer's credit card. For more information contact Authorize.net by clicking HERE.

5. Why am I being charged so much for International Shipping?
We are currently offering both UPS (for $75) and USPS ($27.50) as shipping options for our customers. Our ENTIRE order for International Customers ships out for $75 (UPS) or $27.50 (USPS). That price is not only for one item but for the ENTIRE order regardless of how many products are purchased. Please e-mail us to customerservice@silverdepot.com if you think the charge of $75 with UPS it too much for your location. If you provide us with your address we will check with UPS and let you know within 24hrs if we can offer a lower shipping cost.

6. Do you combine shipping if a customer wants to add products to an
order that has already been placed?
No, a customer must place a separate order and pay for separate shipping.
This is due to the delay that is caused when the order that was placed is ready to be
shipped. This is our busiest time of the year and we would like to send our
customers their orders on time. Therefore we ask our customers to please place
separate orders if they would like to purchase other items. This is major setback for
us when we process the orders. There will be NO exceptions.
