Trademarks

Making Purchases

If you wish to purchase products offered on the site, you will be asked to supply certain information, including but not limited to credit card or other payment information. You agree that all information you provide to Microstorm.com will be accurate complete and current. You agree to pay all charges incurred by authorised users of your account and credit card or other payment mechanism at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. You will also be responsible for paying any applicable taxes, and shipping and handling charges relating to your purchases.

Where we Ship

We ship worldwide to any physical address that UPS, Fedex or DHL ships to. We may accommodate customers who need to have an item shipped to an APO/FPO address or PO Box depending on the circumstances. For items shipping through UPS, we charge UPS 2 day air freight and the items ship out once a week. We send all shipments via Priority Mail. Due to the number of wrong addresses from customers, we now charge the face value that UPS or the carrier we chose charges us to reroute your package if you did not enter the address correctly. This charge is anywhere from £5 to £15.

When we ship

Most orders are shipped within 1 to 5 business days from the date of the order. Your order may be delayed if your ship to address does not match what your credit card issuer has on their file. We verify all addresses for protection against fraud. Some orders that are shipped from fulfillment warehouses may require longer for the item to ship. We may also ship the orders with multiple items from different warehouses so it is possible you get the items on different days. Due to the many circumstances such as unable to charge your card or verify your address, we cannot guarantee when your order is shipped out. Also if you choose next day or air service, it does not necessarily mean you will get it the next day from the order date, it means that you will get it the next day from the date we ship the order. Most orders placed before 3pm depending on locality will ship the same day however.

Shipping Delays

Once an order is shipped, it is up to the carrier to deliver the product, we will not be able to stop the shipment once it is shipped. If UPS loses the package, UPS will put a tracer on the package. Tracers take around 3 days for air packages and 7 business days for ground packages. We will not be able to ship out replacement packages until UPS confirms that the package is lost/will not be delivered to its destination and they will reimburse us. Without confirmation from UPS, we will not know for sure if you will get two shipments if we ship out another one. Another delay is if there is no one to sign for the package, every package we ship usually requires a signature, if a package is returned to us because no one was available to sign for it or the address was input incorrectly at the time you enter the order, you will be charged again to ship it out a second time.

Pricing and Typographical Errors

Due to the fast pace of the computer industry, all prices are subject to change without notice. We make every effort to list the most accurate, up to the minute information. Despite our efforts, some items on our website may be mis-priced. If a product is listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical, photographical, or technical error or error in pricing from our vendors, Microstorm.com reserves the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for a product listed at the incorrect price.

If your credit card has already been charged for the incorrect price, we will immediately refund your card and cancel your order. You may also repurchase it for the correct price if you wish to.

Due to the volatility in pricing for computer products, we do not match competitor's pricing and we will not offer price protection beyond the 24 hours of purchase. eg. If Intel drops the price of a processor 5 days after your purchase, that is beyond our control and our cost for that same processor when we shipped is also much higher than our current selling price. We will not be able to refund the difference since we had to purchase the processor at a much higher cost to send it to you when you placed your order.

Order Acceptance Policy

Your receipt of an electronic or phone order confirmation does not signify our acceptance of your order. Microstorm.com reserves the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your order for any reason.
