I ordered the wrong item, what should I do?
I placed an order, but was shipped the incorrect item.

Contact our shipping department via E-mail.

I received a defective item, what should I do?

If the product is defective, contact our shipping department via E-mail for further instructions.

I received a package that was damaged, what should I do?

Contact our shipping department via E-mail. Our department will then contact UPS and file a claim.

Is everything you sell listed on your site?

Yes, all the products we carry are listed on our site.

My order appears to be lost in transit.

A claim will be filed for the lost package. You should contact Able's via E-mail, and we will file a claim with UPS.

What are the acceptable forms of payment?

What is a product notification?

This is a convenient way for customers to be notified via email when the selected product is back in stock.

When a product is out of stock, how will I know when the product becomes available.

If a product is showing out of stock, you can click the "Notify me by e-mail..." button and we will send you an email when the product becomes available again.

My transaction was declined or cancelled, but it still shows up on my credit card statement.

When your card-issuing bank receives an authorization request for a charge, they will confirm that the card number is attached to a valid account, and verify that your account has enough available funds to cover the requested amount. If the funds are in fact available, your card-issuing bank will reserve the funds on your card.

The hold on the authorized funds will remain on your credit card until the card issuing bank removes the authorization. As a result, the held funds may be subtracted from your available balance, and an online statement may reflect the authorization request which might be mistaken for an actual charge.

Most card issuing banks will remove authorizations within 3-7 days if they are not claimed for settlement.

Once we void an authorization transaction, it is entirely up to your card-issuing bank how long the authorization stays on your account. We have absolutely no control over it, and cannot remove it from your account. You must call your bank or credit card issuer.

My credit card has been charged, but product hasn't shipped.

We do not charge the credit card until the order ships. What you may be seeing on your account activity is a pre-authorization verifying the funds are available. This is similar to when you reserve a hotel room, and they put a hold on the card for the amount until you are actually there and then they charge the card. The actual charge (post-authorization) will occur on the day your product ships.

Purchasing Gift Vouchers

Gift Vouchers are purchased just like any other item in our store. You can pay for them using the stores standard payment method(s). Once purchased the value of the Gift Voucher will be added to your own personal Gift Voucher Account. If you have funds in your Gift Voucher Account, you will notice that the amount now shows in he Shopping Cart box, and also provides a link to a page where you can send the Gift Voucher to some one via email.

How to send Gift vouchers

To send a Gift Voucher that you have purchased, you need to go to our Send Gift Voucher Page. You can find the link to this page in the Shopping Cart Box in the right hand column of each page. When you send a Gift Voucher, you need to specify the following:

  • The name of the person you are sending the Gift Voucher to.
  • The email address of the person you are sending the Gift Voucher to.
  • The amount you want to send. (Note you don\'t have to send the full amount that is in your Gift Voucher Account.)
  • A short message which will apear in the email.
Please ensure that you have entered all of the information correctly, although you will be given the opportunity to change this as much as you want before the email is actually sent.

Buying with Gift Vouchers

If you have funds in your Gift Voucher Account, you can use those funds to purchase other items in our store. At the checkout stage, an extra box will appear. Clicking this box will apply those funds in your Gift Voucher Account. Please note, you will still have to select another payment method if there is not enough in your Gift Voucher Account to cover the cost of your purchase. If you have more funds in your Gift Voucher Account than the total cost of your purchase the balance will be left in you Gift Voucher Account for the future.

Redeeming Gift Vouchers

If you receive a Gift Voucher by email it will contain details of who sent you the Gift Voucher, along with possibly a short message from them. The Email will also contain the Gift Voucher Number. It is probably a good idea to print out this email for future reference. You can now redeem the Gift Voucher in two ways.

1. By clicking on the link contained within the email for this express purpose. This will take you to the store\'s Redeem Voucher page. you will the be requested to create an account, before the Gift Voucher is validated and placed in your Gift Voucher Account ready for you to spend it on whatever you want.

2. During the checkout procces, on the same page that you select a payment method there will be a box to enter a Redeem Code. Enter the code here, and click the redeem button. The code will be validated and added to your Gift Voucher account. You Can then use the amount to purchase any item from our store
