2. FLAT RATE SHIPPING AND TOTAL COST

-
Shipping Fee: A transparent flat rate of $6.99 for all domestic orders within the United States.

Taxes: Sales tax may be applied based on your shipping destination in accordance with state and local laws.
Note: There are no hidden fees or “handling charges.” The price you see at the final checkout screen is the final price you pay.
3. PAYMENT SECURITY AND ENCRYPTION
Your financial safety is our absolute priority. Guidenim employs industry-leading security measures to protect your data:
-
SSL Encryption: Our website uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt your personal and credit card information during transmission. You can verify this by the “https” prefix and the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar.
-
PCI Compliance: We adhere to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). This means we do not store your full credit card numbers or CVV codes on our servers. All sensitive data is handled by highly secure, certified third-party payment processors.
4. TRANSACTION PROCESSING
-
Authorization: When you place an order, our system will request an authorization for the total amount from your bank. Your order will only enter our 1-day handling production phase once the payment is successfully authorized.
-
Settlement: The funds will be captured immediately to initiate the Print-on-Demand process for your custom items.
-
Billing Descriptor: On your bank statement, the transaction will typically appear as GUIDENIM or GUIDENIM STORE.
5. REFUND PAYMENTS
In accordance with our Refund Policy, all approved refunds are issued back to the original method of payment used during the purchase.
-
Timeline: While Guidenim processes refunds within 7 business days, it may take additional time for your specific bank to reflect the credit on your account.
-
Zero Fees: As stated in our policy, there are no hidden fees for processing a refund due to manufacturing or shipping errors.
6. PAYMENT ISSUES AND TROUBLESHOOTING
If your payment is declined or you encounter an error during checkout, please consider the following:
-
Card Details: Ensure the card number, expiration date, and CVV code are entered correctly.
-
Billing Address: The billing address must match the information on file with your bank.
-
Sufficient Funds: Verify that your account has enough balance to cover the total order amount plus the $6.99 shipping fee.
-
Bank Restrictions: Some banks place limits on online or international transactions. You may need to contact your bank to authorize the payment.
7. FRAUD PREVENTION
To protect our customers and our business, Guidenim uses advanced fraud detection tools. We reserve the right to cancel any order that appears fraudulent or unauthorized. In such cases, we may reach out to you via support@guidenim.com to verify your information before proceeding with the order.
