This is one of the industry standard methods for estimating shipping charges. The scale below is the one we use:

Orders up to $7.95 $5.00

$7.96 to $19.99 $6.50

$20 to $28 $7.50

$28.01 to $49.94 $10.50

$49.95 to $74 $12.50

$74.01 to $100 $13.50

Overseas Shipping:

1. The shipping cost on overseas orders will be higher. After you finish shopping and enter your overseas address, the system will calculate your shipping costs before you have to pay.

2. Delivery times for international orders can take 4-6 weeks or longer. We have no control over the procedures used by customs officials and the other agencies that handle overseas mail. Many of those procedures slow down the process. APO and FPO orders are not considered overseas and will use the shipping chart above.

How To Return A Product

If you need to return an item, you can submit a support ticket or send us an email and explain the situation. We will review your request and assign you a Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number so you can return the product for a refund or exchange.

On defective software discs we will replace the defective disc with another disc.
Key elements of our return policy:
