Order Queries

Why was I charged twice for the same order?

If your credit card or bank account
statement shows two (or more) charges for the same order, this means your financial institution set funds on hold until the transaction settles.

How long do Pending transactions take to clear?

Usually, a pending charge will show on your account until the transaction is processed and the funds are transferred to the merchant. This could typically take up to three days but may stretch longer depending on the merchant and the type of transaction.

Why was my transaction declined?

One of the main reasons a transaction is declined is due to an AVS mismatch error

What is an AVS Mismatch error?

An AVS mismatch error occurs when a consumer enters a billing address, during checkout, that does not match the address on file with the card-issuing bank or credit card company.  An address verification service (AVS) is used to protect consumers and merchants from
credit card fraud.  We recommend that you contact the card issuing bank or credit card company when this occurs to validate the billing address.

How can I clean my organizer?

We recommend that you avoid exposing your leather organizer to any harsh elements such as moisture, bright lights or direct heat. If your leather organizer gets dirty or soiled we suggest that you wipe the area with a damp cloth. Smooth leather will need to be cleaned with good quality neutral leather cleaner. If your suede organizer cover or interior needs to be cleaned, ensure you use a dirt resistant finish and a dry brush. Fabric covers and any metal features can be buffed and cleaned with a dry cloth.
