How do I make payment?

We accept VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.  Sorry, we are unable to accept COD orders.  Distributors can apply for an account to receive better pricing and terms by calling 877.222.0200.

Overseas customers please note:  Due to the high volume of overseas orders that have been received attempting to use stolen credit cards, we will not ship your order out if we cannot verify your credit card data.

What if the product is out of stock when I place my order?
