Payment Methods

At present, we offer three methods to pay for your purchase:

1. Paypal (Check, all major credit cards)

2. Credit Card Processing

3. Check/Money Order mailed to us directly, Manual credit card processing

We hope to provide you with more options in the future. For example, Google Payment is something we will offer soon once Google Payment Software is stable and without major bugs. At present, Google is  tweaking with its software. (They call it Beta) We are an authorized seller with them; but we will not offer that service until we are satisfied that it will provide the level of service to our customers demanded by our policy.

Payment by Paypal

We accept all major credit cards through Paypal. Paypal is a division of eBay and is a very respected third party provider. This will provide you with all the protection. You can register free with Paypal and there is never any transaction fees to you as a buyer. We pay all transaction costs incurred.

Once Paypal has confirmed that you made the payment, we will ship the products within 3 business days - often much faster. We stock all items we sell (unless it is clearly marked as special order) so we can ship them to you faster. Of course, it increases our cost - but we know that you expect superior service from us and we are here to provide you with that.

Payment by Credit Card

Enter the credit card information as requested. Once the card issuer accepts the charge, you will be informed. (Normally this happens very quickly) We can only ship to the address where the credit card statement is sent.

Payment by Check/Money Order

You can pay by check or money order by mail. Use Email option on checkout. Please send your check with a copy of the shopping cart invoice to:

ICBS Inc.
SpecialGifts.com fulfillment center
1477 Hunting Hollow Dr.
Hudson, OH 44236, USA

We will hold the products for a maximum of 7 days after you place your order for the check to arrive. If not that product will go back to the inventory. If there is a product in stock if we get your check after the expiry date (7 days from the order date), we will honor the check at our discretion.

Checks are to be cleared before we will ship your item. It may take 3 business days to clear your check if you deal with a bank in the USA.

Thus the payment by check is a slow process. We recommend that you use the Paypal payment instead. Paypal will accept your check if you register and verify for that service.
