The database is not on file or online but kept on paper copy only (your PO form which is in our archive).

• Can I pay by card if my request is sent from Anonymous e-mail account like Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail etc.?
• Yes you can, but if you are first time customer we must verify you are legitimate cardholder and to be sure that this is not credit card fraud attempt. For this purpose when we receive your PO form we'll first charge small random value under EUR 1.00 to your card and will wait you to report back what is the value we charged. Once you are verified as legitimate cardholder you can continue ordering from anonymous account without future verification.

• No, we can't ship C.O.D.

• We must receive signed PO form with every order. If you already have ordered with us and your card info is not changed you can send your PO form by e-mail. In this case you must fill everything on the PO form and sign it but in card info field you must only fill previous PO#, card EXP date and card CVC code. Please have look at such filled PO form here
