Place Orders On-Line Without Potentially Exposing Valuable Data On The Internet

Your bank will agree that credit card fraud is a serious matter that shouldn't be taken lightly. For this reason, MDS Associates does NOT require credit cards to submit orders on-line and consequently eliminates transmitting and storing personal data on external servers vulnerable to hackers. Rather our new e-Cart creates an 'INSTANT PURCHASE INVOICE' that's generated from your shopping cart and followed up with a phone call by a MDS representative. Before processing and shipping an order, we will contact the buyer to confirm your order, answer any questions and make arrangements for payment. In the event we are unable to make these arrangements with you, we may close an order after 3 business days. Please feel to contact us with any questions regarding this new business model or request our federal I.D. number.

Credit Card Processing

We now accept Visa, Discover, Master Card & American Express credit cards. Your credit card will be "authorized" once you place your order. The authorization process is not a charge, however, it will verify that your card is not fraudulent. We only run credit cards for product that has shipped. If you have a back order, this dollar amount is deducted off the first generation invoice and will be run when the back order arrives and ships. Customers will receive receipts of sale in the mail. Customers with established accounts can order on-line and pay with 30-day credit terms.

We reserve the right to refuse processing or shipping of any order based on the information we obtain such as the billing and shipping addresses, amount of goods ordered, contact information etc. For private/residential purchases, we may require a copy of your drivers license to verify credit card information.

When your shipping and billing address is different, we will need to complete these 3 steps to prevent delays:
1 - Confirm we have the CORRECT billing address.
2 - Confirm we have CORRECT Card Verification Number.
3 - At our discretion, obtain the Issuing Bank Phone Number on back of card

Your order will be delayed up to 4 business days for verification if your information are incorrect. For security reasons, we need the number to verify your information with your credit card company for alternate ship to address which are not on record with your credit card company. The phone number you just entered above must be the number your credit card issuer would use to call you. Giving an incorrect billing phone number will delay the shipment of your order.

Sales Tax

There is no sales tax collected on any order shipped and billed outside of New York. Sales tax for orders shipped or billed to New York will be added to your sub-total before shipping. Tax exempt organizations need to fax or email MDS a tax exempt certificate.

Thank you for considering MDS - we look forward to meeting you!
