How safe is storing a payment card on your website?
Very safe. Strings By Mail does not store your actual card information, rather creates a unique profile pin which allows our processor to rebill you.
In addition, this pin only works on our website.
Can I use a gift card?
Yes, as long as the card has your billing address assigned. You will have to call the number on the back to assign an address for online use.
Can I use 2 different credit cards, or a gift card and a credit card to pay for my order?
No, only one payment option is available for online self-service. We can help though! Contact us to pay with two forms of payment.
What are all the payment types accepted and where can I learn more?
How do I know if a product is out of stock and will backorder?
In the shopping cart, if there is a back ordered product, you will see quantity in stock and quantity that will backorder (in red).
Upon clicking the Proceed To Checkout button, you'll see a popup window indicating the quantity that will backorder.
On the checkout page, the product summary section will display quantity in stock and quantity that will backorder.
Upon completing your order, the confirmation email will display quantity in stock and quantity that will backorder.
When your first shipment is delivered, the invoice will contain the dollar amount that will ship separately and what new order number backorders split to.
How long does it take for a product to become available?
Some are filled within 24 hours, others a few days and occasionally a few weeks.
In the event of an unusual delay we will contact you at the 2-3 week and 5 week markers to update you on ETA.
Do you charge additional shipping fees for backordered items that ship separately?
No. All backorders ship at no additional cost.
Do you charge for backordered items up front?
Yes. We find it most convenient for both parties to charge in advance during the first order, which reserves the product.
You have the option to cancel at any time for a full product refund.
Coupons & Discounts
Do you offer any discounts or Strings By Mail coupons?
Discounts and coupons are available through our newsletters. Sign up to make sure you receive all discounts and coupons offered!
Will a coupon work on top of discounted products?
No, it will not combine both. Coupons equal to or less than the discount will not apply.
However, if your coupon is for a greater discount, it will be applied as the higher and only discount.
Can I use more than one coupon code during checkout?
Yes, as long as they are for different products or uses.
If two different coupons are assigned to the same product, only the higher discount will apply.
