    My credit card payment keeps getting declined, why is that?

    If your credit card payment is being declined there might be an issue with the information being entered into our system. We recommend that you double check the card number or the billing address to ensure the proper information is being processed.

    For card holder protection, TheCrossbowStore.com utilizes AVS (Address verification) to ensure all packages are shipped to the billing address of the credit card owner. If you want to ship to a different address, you will need to call your credit card provider and have them add your shipping address to the card prior to placing an online transaction.

    If you have verified all the information is correct we recommend that you contact us directly and we will do our best to help resolve the problem.

    How do I place an online order with a gift card (generally designed for physical swipe transactions)?

    For card holder protection, TheCrossbowStore.com utilizes AVS (Address verification) to ensure all packages are shipped to the billing address of the credit card owner. For gift cards, you will need to call your gift card provider to add your shipping address to the card prior to placing an online transaction.

    *It is the gift card provider's standard practice to declined an online transaction due to AVS mis-match and they do hold your funds for 2~3 business days. To release the funds immediately, call the gift card provider. First 5 minutes on the phone they might inform you that the "pending" or "on hold" funds were "cleared" just to get you off the phone. Ask to speak to a manager, inform him or her that this is an "online transaction". Due to the policies of these companies we suggest that you request they release your funds immediately, otherwise you will have to wait up to two days.

    How are backordered items handled?

    Your transaction will show the total amount due on your order, including backorders. However, your credit card or account will not be charged for the backordered items until the goods are ready to ship. For this reason your credit card statement may not reflect the total seen on your transaction. The balance will be charged upon the completion of your order.

    What are "Pre-Order" items?

    Items labeled "Pre-Order" are items you can Pre-Order before goods arrive to our warehouse. A lot of rare / TheCrossbowStore.com exclusive items are paid for and made available to you because of our buying power. Pre-ordering allows you to reserve an item before it arrives to our store. Oftentimes popular items sell out the day they arrive so we recommend that you reserve the items you are interested in. We ship items on a first come, first served basis.

    I made a typo on my billing information and the transaction was declined the first time I tried to check-out. Two charges appeared on my account. What happened and what do I do?

    For card holder protection. When a credit card attempt was made but declined (perhaps from a typo resulting wrong billing addresses entered), the following happens:

     

  • Our system declines the transaction and releases all funds immediately.
  • Transaction was canceled so you can try again with the correct billing information matching what your card issuer has on file.
  • Most card issuers (your card issuers), will hold the funds for 24~72 hours excluding weekends before they release the authorization as their standard practice and procedure. Why? We do not know.
  • If you cannot wait 24~72 hours and wish to have the authorization released immediately. Please do the following: Call you card issuer and request for them to release the authorization. Note: Most customer service representatives at the card issuer will tell you that it is a “normal charge”. Please make sure you inform them that this is an “online declined transaction”. If you feel you are not receiving the results you are looking for please ask to speak to a supervisor and they should be able to further assist. They may ask to have a 3-way call with Thecrossbowstore.com and a member of our customer service support team will gladly help provide any information we can.

    What is a spoof email and how to protect your identity?

    How to protect yourself? Follow these general rules of the thumb. NEVER input your password on the internet from a email's link or pop up windows. Spoof emails generally have a familiar made-up sender. If you did, change your password immediately.

    What is a spoof email? Spoof emails are emails sent by 3rd parties attempting to trick you into providing your personal and billing information over the internet. The links you click on will look identical to your bank or paypal's website, only with a different URL. Spoof emails are generally sent with familiar made-up identities such as paypal, your bank or online merchants such as TheCrossbowStore.com or Wal-Mart.

    Please note that TheCrossbowStore.com and staff will never email you asking you for your bank or paypal account information. If there is a need to provide any personal info, you should call us directly at (626)541-0087. Or email us directly at sales@thecrossbowstore.com
