What methods of payment do you accept?

We accept the following credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. We also accept checks and money orders. The checks and money orders must be drawn on US banks and denominated in US dollars. Paying by check may delay your order by about 4 days, since we must wait for the check to clear our bank before we can ship your order.

How do I pay by check or money order?

We accept checks and money orders (drawn on US banks and denominated in US dollars) . If you wish to pay by check or money order, complete the online order form.

What does "2-3 business days" mean?

A business day is any Monday - Friday which is not a holiday. If you place an order on Monday, it would usually ship on the following Wednesday or Thursday (the 2nd or 3rd business day after the order was placed).

If you placed an order on a Friday afternoon, it will usually ship the following Tuesday or Wednesday. This delay is because Saturday and Sunday are not counted as "business days."

Do you have a paper catalog?

Yes, but only for certain categories. The catalog which is available on the Web site is always more comprehensive and up to date than our print catalog. If you would like to receive our paper catalog, please click the "Catalog Request" link on any page of the Web site or call us at (219) 465-1234. The categories available include genealogy, ADD, neurolinguistic programming, and coaching.

Do you give quantity or volume discounts?

Yes, but only for orders of 6 or more copies of the same title. There is no quantity discount for orders which include multiple titles. However, you do save on the shipping and handling charges (on a per item basis) when purchasing multiple titles per order.

The first item you order has a $2.00 shipping fee, the second through ninth items each incur a $1.00 shipping fee (up to a $10.00 maximum), and every item thereafter is shipped free. Please note that items shipped internationally will incur additional charges.

Do you give "extra" discounts to schools, libraries, government agencies, or other organizations?

Yes. Please contact us for details

Does your price include shipping and handling?

No. Shipping and handling charges must be added to the prices shown on our site's item description. Note: The "Total" price shown on our "online order form" does include shipping and handling charges.

Do you have limits on the quantities of items someone may purchase?

No, we will create as many tapes as necessary to fulfill your order.

You should receive your shipment 3 - 7 business days after the order is processed by Audiotapes.com. Shipping via Federal Express (Fedex) is available upon request for an additional charge. Please contact us for details.

Do I need a working e-mail address to purchase items from your store?

Ordering---How do I order items?

To order an item, you must find the item your want to order, then you must place the item in your shopping cart, and then you need to checkout.

Finding an item (the first step in ordering)

Our ordering system is based upon finding an item first. There are several ways to find an item:

A. Search using the search link on every page. Our search link is located on most pages. It will be at the top of the page or on the index on the left side of the page

The search box has several different options:

Book Author: Search the catalog by author
Book Title: Search the catalog by the title (key words or exact title)
Keyword: Search the catalog for keywords in every items record

If one of these titles interests you, just click on the title (usually a blue link). This will carry you to a page which tells you more details about the title and an opportunity to purchase the title.

B. Use our "Browse" feature to find a item which may interest you. You can browse our catalog by selecting one of the categories under the "Browse" header in the Site Index found on the left side of our Web pages. Once you have selected a category, you will be taken to a page which lists all of the conferences for which we have tapes for that topic. First select a conference, then, if one of the listed titles interests you, just click on the title (usually a blue link). This will carry you to a page which tells you more details about the title and an opportunity to purchase the title.

Also, be sure to check the categories which are similar or related to the subject or topic which is of interest to you. These related categories may also include items about a topic which is of interest to you.

C. You may look at the individual items featured on our Home Page and other sections of our Web site.
These are only a very few of the many titles which we offer for sale. But, if one of these titles interests you, just click on the title (usually a blue link). This will carry you to a page which tells you more details about the title and an opportunity to purchase the title.

D. See all titles for a given category.
You can see a full list of all titles by selecting a category on the "Search" page. Please note that some of these pages are long and may take some time to download. Just click on the title (usually a blue link). This will carry you to a page which will tell you more details about the title and give you the opportunity to purchase the title.

Placing an order (after you have found a title)

Once you have found an item you are interested in purchasing, click on the item's title. This will give you more details about the item. Just click the "Order" button at the bottom of the item's description, which will put the item into your Shopping Cart.

Think of your "Shopping Cart" as being used for the same purpose as a shopping cart in your local grocery store. You can put or "add" items into your cart that you are interested in purchasing. Once you put or "add" an item to your cart, you can go straight to the check-out by clicking on the "Checkout" button, or you can click use the site's other links to continue shopping.

You will also have the option of changing the quantities or deleting an item from your Shopping Cart. Just type in the desired number of items (or "0" if you wish to remove the item from your cart) and click on the "Recalculate" button.

Just like a shopping cart at your local grocery store, our shopping "Cart" also allows you to remove items. If you add an item to your "Shopping Cart" and later decide you don't want it, you can remove it from your cart.

If you continue shopping after adding an item to your "Shopping Cart", you can add other titles which interest you.

You do not purchase an item by only putting it into your cart. It is merely a way to keep up with the items you are thinking of purchasing. If you find a better title, or decide not to purchase the item, you can remove it from your cart before you check-out.

When you have finished shopping and are ready to check-out, click on the "Checkout" button. Next you will see a page where you will have a form to use for the Billing and Shipping information about the order.

If the Billing info and Shipping info are the same, just leave the Shipping information fields blank. If the Shipping info is DIFFERENT from the Billing info, please fill in the Shipping information fields. (You may have to scroll down to see this part of the form.) After completing the Shipping info, click on the "Final Checkout" button at the bottom of the page.

You will now be shown a summary of your order. This form will show your Billing info, Shipping info, and the item(s) you are ordering. The "Unit Price" is the price you are paying per copy of each title. The "Totals" amount on the same line next to the Unit Price is the cost of multiple copies of the same title. If you order 1 copy of a title, the Unit Price and Totals on the same line will be the same.

Next will be the "S&H" (shipping and handling) charge. Below this line is the "Grand Total" charge for the order. This is the amount which will be charged to your credit card. Your charge card will not be charged until the day the items are shipped to you.

If you need to make changes, click on the "Change Address" or "Change Order" button and make the appropriate changes. If everything is fine, click on the "Place this Order" button. If you want to completely cancel you order, click the "Cancel Order" button.

The next part of the order process is to choose your payment method. Select your method and enter the appropriate information. Check to make sure your credit number and other info on the page is correct. If everything is right, click on the "Submit" button at the bottom of the page. This will submit your information using our secure server.

You now will see a "receipt" page, which thanks you for your order and shows the date. If you have a printer on your computer, please make a copy of this "receipt page" for your records.

That's it! You have now placed an order with Audiotapes.com!
