Q. Do You Charge Sales Tax?
A. We are required by law to charge sales tax on orders delivered within the state of California, but only California. Your shopping cart will automatically add California Sales Tax to any order being shipped to a California address. Sales tax does not apply to orders delivered outside the State of California.
Q. Is Ordering Online Really Safe?
A. Although no one can guarantee it, we believe on-line ordering through a secure web site is very safe. The secure ordering process encrypts your personal information and ensures a direct path from your computer to our web server thereby preventing anyone from intercepting that information.
Credit cards are probably the safest way of doing business. If any charge ever shows up on your statement that you didn’t authorize, it’s usually quite simple to dispute the charge with the credit card company and have it removed.
If you’re still uneasy about ordering online, we’re more than happy to take your order by phone or regular U.S. mail.
Q. Problem Placing an Online Order or Viewing Your Shopping Cart?
A. If you are placing your order from work, you may be behind a company firewall and can’t access our HTTP url. You can add our url to your “Trusted Sites” if your IT Administrator has set-up allowed permissions.
If that’s not an option, just give us a call toll free at 1-800-735-5290 or email us at customercare@rhtubs.com and we’ll work something out together.
