Third Party Intermediaries
We use outside courier companies to ship orders and a Payment Service Provider and credit card processing company to bill customers for goods and services.

Payment information for customers buying on the web. Your card details are securely encrypted during transport over the Internet so no one can read your card information. The card details are only transported to a Bank to authorise your purchase. A Https symbol will replace the http symbol at the start of the URL address which indicates it is a secure payment.
