Read the details of the security policy.
Paying by Credit Card*
We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. You can safely enter
your entire credit card number via our secure server, which encrypts all submitted
information. To provide you with an additional layer of security, all credit
card numbers are cryptically stored on a computer that is not connected
to the Internet. After you type, fax, or call it in, your complete credit card
number is transferred to this secure machine across a proprietary one-way interface.
This computer is not accessible by network or modem, and the number is not stored
anywhere else.
At this time, we are unable to accept Visa, MasterCard, and Discover credit
cards issued at banks outside of the US. For security and fraud protection reasons,
we verify all account information when a purchase is made. Foreign banks cannot
provide us with this information, therefore we are unable to accept these cards.
* It is our standard procedure to request a pre-authorization from your credit
card company/bank before we process your order. The pre-authorization will confirm
that your bank has sufficient funds available. The funds are not actually removed
from your account until we ship the order to you. You may see both pre-authorization
and the charge on your account, but this is not a duplicate charge. The pre-authorization
will be removed within a few days depending on your bank. At that time you will
have only been charged for the
item(s) that have been shipped.

Please note: Customers using Paypal will experience a 24 hour delay in processing
their order (including in-store pickups). Abt only ships to addresses that are

account as soon as your order is completed.
Google Checkout
A fast, safe, convenient way to shop online. Google Checkout lets you track
all your orders and shipping in one place. Just log in with a single Google
username to shop.
Paying By Purchase Order
We do not currently accept purchase orders since all orders must be pre-paid.
We do have many corporate and organizational customers who take advantage of
the following method: Corporate Sales Invoice
After you make an order marked to be paid by check, send a brief e-mail message
asking for a corporate sales invoice, click
here. We can either mail or fax it to you, and your company's accounting
department can send a check for the order.
Paying By Check Or Money Order
Abt does accept checks and money orders (MO) denominated in U.S. dollars as
a payment option. To pay using these methods, you must call (1-888-228-5800),
fax (1-847-919-3706) or e-mail us your order to the Online Sales Department
- click here.
Once your order has been confirmed, you will be provided with an address where your payment should be made. Paying via these methods does slow down your order somewhat, as we don't order your items until your check or MO is received, and we don't ship the items to you until your funds clear. For most orders in the United States, paying by personal check or MO typically delays your order one to two weeks. Currently we are only able to accept postal money orders denominated in U.S. dollars or checks denominated in U.S. dollars and drawn on a U.S. bank. Checks must also have a valid nine-digit bank routing number (ABA code) MICR-encoded on the bottom of the check.
