ORDER PROCESSING QUESTIONS + ANSWERS

WHY DIDN’T A CUSTOMER GET E-MAILED AN ORDER CONFIRMATION OR A SHIPMENT CONFIRMATION?

 

​Sometimes the confirmation is automatically filed in a person’s spam folder. If it is not there, the customer may have forgotten to add their e-mail during the check out process. Customers can contact SOTA arms for assistance.

WHY DID A CUSTOMER GET A MESSAGE FROM SOTA ARMS SAYING THEIR ORDER WAS CANCELLED?

 

If a customer gets a message like this, the credit card company declined their credit card. It could have resulted from a simple mis-type of a credit card number or expiration date. The customer should try processing it again. If it happens one more time, they may want to contact their credit card company for further information.

THE CUSTOMER IS IN A HUGE HURRY AND WANTS TO KNOW IF THERE IS EXPEDITED SHIPPING?

 

Yes, there is expedited shipping. The customer should indicate that on their order or give SOTA a call, and they will be happy to help get the package to the customer in the best way.

HOW DOES A CUSTOMER RETURN PRODUCT FOR A REFUND?

 

Please see SOTA’s return policy. A customer must obtain an RMA number before sending their product back. A refund will be remitted to them via their credit card account or via company check for the merchandise amount minus the original shipping and handling fees. SOTA Arms does not return shipping charges.

WHAT DOES A CUSTOMER DO IF THEY RECEIVE THE WRONG ITEMS?

 

SOTA is sorry for the error and would like to be called right away so that they can help get the correct item to the customer as soon as possible.

WHAT CREDIT CARDS DOES SOTA ARMS TAKE?

 

Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express.

WHAT SHOULD A CUSTOMER DO IF THEIR PAYMENT IS DECLINING?

 

While debit and credit card transactions can be declined for many reasons, one of the most common reasons is a miss-match between the customer’s billing and shipping addresses. This means that the billing/shipping address must be the same and match for the customer’s order and payment to be successful. This new security measure will help safeguard the customer’s security and safety.

WHERE IN THE ORDER I AM PLACING SHOULD I PUT MY FFL INFORMATION FOR TRANSFER(S)?

 

Please type your FFL information either in the ‘Ship To’ or ‘Notes’ section of your order. The most important information is the FFL’s name and phone number or e-mail address. We can do the rest! What is wonderful, however, is when you go the extra mile and e-mail a copy of your dealer’s FFL to sales@sotaarms.com. If you do that, please make sure the license is not beyond the expiration date.
