Order related

How do I know that my credit card is secure when I order from your Web site?
We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software that is among the best available today for secure Internet transactions. When you place an order online, this software encrypts all of your personal information, including your credit card number, so that it cannot be read as it travels over the Internet.
I was about to place an order online when I was notified that the name on the Security certificate is not Clotilde.  What can you tell me about it?
The certificate is issued to the parent company of Clotilde, DRG Texas, LP. The current certificate is valid through Oct. 19, 2011, and adheres to industry standards in assuring secure transactions. Here is a link to our Privacy/Security information.
Can I change my order?
Our goal is to ship your order as soon as possible. Therefore, we are unable to change your order once you have submitted it and before it is shipped.
How long does it take to receive my order?
Orders generally arrive within 2 weeks. If you have a problem with your order, please let us know.
How long does it take to receive my drop-shipped order (coming directly from the manufacturer)?
It can take up to 4 to 6 weeks to receive some of our products shipped directly from the manufacturer. Some items are special orders by the customer and, therefore, take longer to make. Drop shipped items cannot be shipped outside the contiguous 48 states unless otherwise noted in the product description. Must use street address. No P.O. Boxes.
How do I know if you received my order and when it has shipped?
If you have provided us with your e-mail address, you will receive an e-mail confirmation when we receive your order and when your order is shipped.
Is my order shipment able to be tracked?
We ship all orders over $80 via a traceable method. If you use a Post Office box, please provide a physical address for delivery.
Why is sales tax added to the shipping and processing on my order?
The individual states tell us that we must tax shipping and processing charges. This is not a company policy but a state requirement.
I submitted my order and got an error message. Did it go through?
If you have provided us with your e-mail address, you will receive an e-mail confirmation when we receive your order. If you do not receive e-mail confirmation, you may either re-submit your order online or contact customer service toll free at (800) 545-4002, Monday through Friday, 8am - 7pm CT.
On my last order an item was back-ordered. When will this item be available to ship?
We receive most of our back-ordered items at our warehouse within 30 days of the date orders are placed. If there is delay in receiving the product, we will notify you by mail or e-mail.
How long does it take to receive a drop-shipped, back-ordered item?
We notify you as soon as the manufacturer lets us know that the item is back-ordered. We will then let you know the estimated date that the item will be available.
