	*I don't think I am receiving your emails*
	If you are not receiving our emails or our newsletters, you could be missing out on our latest deals and offers!

If you checked this and are still not getting the newsletter, make sure you typed in the right email address when you signed up with us.

	*Is it safe to order over the internet?*
	Ordering online is safer than it's ever been. We use one of the most secure online ordering systems available, and we are constantly researching and improving our software to make sure we offer the highest possible security at all times. We utilize industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to allow for the encryption of potentially sensitive information such as your name, address and other critically sensitive information like your credit card details. Information passed between your computer and our website cannot be read in the event someone else intercepts it. This technology includes the following features: Authentication - this assures your browser that your data is being sent to the correct computer server, and that the server is secure. Encryption - this encodes the data, so that it cannot be read by anyone other than the secure server. Data Integrity - this checks the data being transferred to ensure it has not been altered
	*My payment keeps declining...*
	Not to worry, this happens for a variety of reasons. If you are sure your payment details have been entered correctly, please try contacting your card issuer or bank to check if they are putting a block on the payment. This sometimes happens with international transactions, and is just the card issuer doing their best to protect you from fraud. If you are still having trouble after following these steps, please get in touch.
	*I sent you and email, but got no reply...*
	There may be a number of reasons you may not be receiving emails from us. When you sign up and place an order, you will receive a variety of emails which include our Newsletters, Order and Return Confirmation emails and responses from our Customer Services Team. We recommend you check your Spam filter settings and look through your Junk folder, in case our emails are going in there. If this is not the case, then we may have the incorrect email address registered for you. Please check your account details to ensure your email address is spelt correctly and it is your valid email address.
	Shopping Info
	*Do I have to pay sales tax?*
	In general no. Orders that are shipped outside of Japan are NOT subject to Japanese sales tax, though you may be subject to import duties/customs charges once the order reaches your country, in accordance with local laws and legislation. If your order is to be shipped within Japan, the standard Japanese sales tax (消費税) will be added to the cost of your order.

	This website is protected with SSL (secure socket layer) encryption, the highest standard in Internet security.
	*When will my credit card be charged?*
	If your card is authorized, payment will be taken immediately, and you will receive an email confirming that your order has been successful. If your card is not authorized, payment will not be taken, so please contact your bank or card issuer to find out why they wouldn't authorize the payment. Please remember that even if a payment isn’t authorized, it may look like we have still taken the money as some card issuers may still reserve the money, for a short period of time. Further, successful payments sometimes take a short time to appear on your statement, so please do not worry if the authorized payment does not show up right away.
