Placing an Order
What Do I Need To Complete An Order?
You will need a valid email address, a valid credit card or PayPal account, and an accurate shipping address.
How Do I Place An Order?
To begin the ordering process, select the “Add to Cart” buttons for the products of your choice. With each ‘Add to Cart’ button you click, you will be met with an option to view your cart, which can also be viewed in the top-right of your interface. Once you have added desired products to your cart, you will see the option to begin the “Checkout” process. During checkout you will need to fill out the required fields, and agree to our Terms of Use.
Can I have a different shipping address than billing address?
Yes, simply make sure your billing information matches the method of payment. You will still receive your invoice & tracking information via the email the order was placed with.
Wholesale?
We do offer wholesale pricing, or ‘Business to Business,’ which you can apply for here. We will have a subdomain website coming soon, with wholesale-user access. When you apply for the business to business program, you will receive an email from WWC with more information.
Is My Payment Secure?
Our checkout process runs through PayEazy Gateway, the secure industry standard in the eCommerce world. When an order is placed, the payment information is encrypted while processing your order. This means that it is protected and not readable until it is received by the payment gateway.
Can I Order & Send A Gift?
Yes. When checking out, make sure your billing information matches the payment-method information, and select, ‘Ship to Different Address.’ You can fill out you desired gift message, and optionally add a gift-wrap to the order placed. The package will not include the invoice, only the gift message. The invoice will be sent to the email the order is placed with, along with the tracking information once the order is shipped.

Once the order is placed, you will first receive an email of your order confirmation which will include your invoice. Once your order ships, you will receive another email with the tracking information.

Standard shipping can be expected to arrive 2-6 business days depending on your location, and the order size.

Warm Weather Packaging?

We use insulated shipping containers, and frozen, re-usable gel packs, which are wrapped, to ensure your order will be unaffected by the heat. If this option is not selected, we will not insulate or cool your package for transit, and are not responsible for any heat-related issues (melting) mid-transit.
My order melted, what do I do?
If you did not opt for Warm Weather Packaging while checking out, we will not accommodate for any heat-related issues. If you did purchase this add-on, then please contact us via phone or email, and we will get a replacement out after connecting further.
