Payment & Ordering Details – Please Read Carefully!

First thing is to read this entire page. Second thing is to read it again. Third thing is to read it until you understand it. Now that we have gotten past that, lets discuss payment.

note: Don't send payment until you have read the entire page.

FIRST THINGS FIRST. i'M NOT YOUR SLAVE. iF YOU PLACE AN ORDER TODAY AND THEN GET PISSED TOMORROW BECAUSE i HAVE NOT YET HAD A CHANCE TO ANSWER AN EMAIL YOU SENT AND WANT TO CANCEL THEN DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MY TIME BY PLACING THE ORDER IN THE FIRST PLACE. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE PULLED THAT SHIT LATELY AND iT'S GETTING OLD QUICK. PEOPLE HAVE PLACED A REGULATOR ORDER AND THEN TWO DAYS LATER FILED A PAYPAL DISPUTE FOR NON-DELIVERY. PEOPLE HAVE ORDERED A REGULATOR ON FRIDAY AT 8:30 IN THE MORNING AND THEN CANCLED THE ORDER 26 HOURS LATER BECAUSE I DIDN'T ANSWER AN EMAIL. wtf IS WRONG WITH SOME OF YOU?

The prices are posted. The ONLY things that include shipping are combo packs, check valves and regulator packages. All other items DO NOT include shipping prices.

All prices are in US Dollars. All prices that include shipping charges are for shipment within the United States. I accept payment through PayPal, certified check and money order. Stop. Period. End Of Story.

If your PayPal account is funded with a bank account or PayPal balance then you can use payment [at] rexgrigg [dot] com as the email address to send payment to.

If your PayPal account is funded with a Credit/Debit card then you can use ccpayment [at] rexgrigg [dot] com as the email address to send payment.

Make sure you include a note in your payment telling me what it is you are ordering. I'm not a mind reader. And I talk to an average of around 20 people a day on 4-5 different forums and via email. If you neglect to include a note then one of two things will happen. I will ignore your payment till you contact me wondering where your stuff is or I will convert that payment into beer and cigars. If I don't convert the payment into beer and cigars then I will send the payment back after a week. Payments without notes may be considered donations. Read this paragraph till you understand it.

If you are paying via PayPal please make sure that your shipping address registered at PayPal is correct. I use PayPal shipping. If that address is not correct then you are going to have problems. If you moved two years ago and have not updated your shipping address then shame on you. You can ask to have your order shipped to a different address. I will TRY and accommodate these requests. But if I'm in a hurry or the requested shipping address is not clearly visible when I am processing the order then chances are the order is going to the registered address.

Due to changes at PayPal I am now being hit with fees on ALL transactions. Doens't make a difference how the account is funded. This has left me with two choices. Raise prices on every item or make everyone do math.

I decided it would be easier on everyone to just raise the prices a bit. If you are paying with a check or money order contact me and I will get you a total based on a cash discount.

To save time include a phone number where you can be reached it if I have questions.

If your PayPal account is funded with a Credit/Debit card then add $0.30 to your order.


If math is not your strong point then contact me.
