The Address Verification System will attempt to match the billing
address information entered during the order against the address listed on
the credit card statement, as recorded by the Visa/MC Interchanges.
While a charge will not be rejected as a
result of an address not matching, our system does immediately void such
a transaction with this automated system. Please note however that
a void may take from 3 to 30 days before it wipes out the original charge on your credit card,
this is beyond our control and policy from card companies.
