4. Back Orders
We usually have a large stock of products but if you purchase a product
we have on back order, an email will be sent to the email address you
provided to us informing you of the day that particular product will be
available and when your order will ship in full. In this event, there
will be a delay in shipping your order. Our customers who have ordered
a back order item may elect to have the remainder of the order shipped
first and the back ordered item shipped when available. An additional
shipping charge will be required for a splitting of the order. Canceling
back order items is also an option. Inventory levels are updated to the
site every day during the Halloween season and less frequently during
the slower months. During the month of October we will take the initiative
to cancel orders completely that have back order items to help with our
workflow of orders. This will also speed up your reorder process for in
stock items during the busy season. Note: our shopping cart automatically
charges your credit cards or debit card the entire amount due for your
order when it is placed with us. If, after notifying you of a back order
situation, you request a cancellation of your order, we will issue you
a complete credit refunding any monies paid using the identical payment
protocol you used in placing and paying for the order in the first instance.
5. Canceled Orders
We may cancel your order during our processing time
frame before shipment to you. This may occur for several reasons outside
our control. For example, if an item ordered is out of stock, the complete
order may be cancelled to allow for a faster reordering by you. If your
payment was declined or returned NSF, this would also cause a cancellation
of your order. If an order is unable to meet a delivery deadline, it may
also be cancelled. Despite any initial acceptance of your order, we reserves
the right to cancel any order at any time with a full refund given to
you for any amount otherwise paid and without further compensation or
any liability from us to you. If we have to cancel your order for any
of the reasons noted above or otherwise, we will notify you by email as
soon as we are in a position to inform you of the same.
6.
Sales Tax
All
prices are subject to applicable federal, state and/or provincial sales
taxes, handling charges and shipping charges .Orders
shipped within the United States are tax-exempt! All US-based shipments
are billed tax free.
Sales tax (HST
or GST) will only be assessed for orders that are shipped to Canada. This
is due to the fact that our corporate office is in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
. 7.
Package & Handling Fee
As an online retailer we know
the cost of hiring staff to package and handle your order for shipping.
This fee is added to your order to cover those costs. Unlike other online
companies who charge upwards of a $10 handling fee, ours is modest in
comparison, visible in your cart before you checkout with your payment
information.

Possible Additional Credit Card Fees
Our head
office and payment gateway is located in Vancouver,BC, Canada; in some
cases the issuing bank of a credit card may charge a foreign order fee.

for any additional charges incurred by your issuing bank. These charges
are also non refundable by us. Contact your issuing credit card or debit
card company for any information regarding this type of fee, if any.
