Shopping in online stores
However, each online store has its own peculiarities and specifications. For example some of them may not consider international credit cards as a valid source of payment, or may decline a transaction for other reasons.
Take into consideration that we don’t provide any consultations associated with the purchasing process. Our main function is to safely transport those goods from USA to Georgia.
As a matter of fact, online shops offer 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 day postal service at different prices. It’s up to you to choose the terms of transportation and the period of ground shipping.
• The shop accepts only USA credit cards• The shop sends products only to an address that is registered on the credit card (shop checks the Billing address) • The shop cannot establish communication with the buyerThere are two solutions to this problem, but we cannot guarantee that your product will be sent: 1. You can contact the shop itself and send them your credit card information by some other means, for example a scanned image of it.2. Contact the bank and ask them to add your American address in the section of “additional info” or “alternate shipping address.” Unfortunately we aren’t able to remove or cancel the blockage on your credit card; also we cannot assist you with the delayed parcel’s sending process. Please note that we provide the transportation for your parcel, and are a third party to your transaction. We do not have any ability to intervene in the purchasing procedures.
Sometimes, the shop checks whether Shipping and Billing addresses are compatible. If they are not, the money on your credit card may be blocked.
In the near future, we plan to issue our own American credit card, with which you’ll be able to purchase online without any difficulties.
Insurance, Custom Procedures
Please check it for more details.
If you are not able to provide the purchase order, the parcel will be evaluated by customs according to the market prices.

Also check the amount of money that was transferred from your credit card and the details of the online purchase. If the shop did not send the product due to some technical reason, than the parcel definitely wouldn’t be among received items.
There are very rare situations when packages can be lost in transit. If the parcel hasn’t reached our warehouse, we cannot assist you. You should contact the online shop from which you’ve ordered the package and ask for compensation, or demand the product to be sent once again.
