Q: What's involved in the checkout process?
A: There are 3 steps in the checkout process. Accurate completion of these steps will accelerate the processing of your order.

Step 1: Shipping and billing addresses

We understand that sometimes you need to have your package shipped to a place other than where we'll be sending the bill. So whether you're on your way to Yosemite to climb your next big wall or heading to Peru, we'll ship it where ever you'd like. Please make certain that the addresses are correct (including zip codes) so that the chosen carrier can deliver your package. ALL U.S. ORDERS SHIP FOR FREE.   PLEASE NOTE: FREE SHIPPING ONLY APPLIES TO U.S. ORDERS.  

Comments: Use the space provided on this page to make any necessary comments about your order. Click on the 'No Comments' button if you do not need to make any comments.

Step 2: Shipping

ALL U.S. ORDERS SHIP FOR FREE.  Please read all of the information presented below about our shipping policies. You will also be presented with a choice of shipping methods depending on the shipping address specified in Step 1. INTERNATIONAL ORDERS: PLEASE CHOOSE PREFERED SHIPPING METHODS.  CHARGES APPLY.

Step 3: Payment

In this step you will be asked for an e-mail address where we can contact you if necessary. You'll also be presented with an order total. If you chose a shipping method other than USPS, we will e-mail you with a shipping quote as soon as possible. If you are paying with Paypal or a credit card, you will also be asked for that information in this step.

Q: Is it safe to order online?
A: How does a Secure Site work? In plain English here's what happens when you place an order. First, you'll notice that you enter a secure site when a padlock icon appears in the status bar of your browser (usually at the bottom). This states that all of the information passed between your computer and our computer will be encrypted. Our computer will tell your computer how to encrypt all information passed between the two using encryption that can only be decoded on our server. Your computer will do such before sending any information onto the phone wire and out onto the Internet and eventually to our computer. When it reaches our server, it will be decoded and logged to our database for processing. Without the decoding key on our server, it is nearly impossible to decipher the encrypted data.
