Pricing Information

All of our prices are set by the publishers and are subject to change at any time without notice. Prices are updated in our computers as each item is received in our central warehouse. Although it is our intent to publish accurate pricing information, it is possible that some items represented in this website have not been ordered, received or updated for some time due to decreased popularity or age, and therefore may not reflect current pricing or availability. We cannot be held responsible for any mistakes, misprints, or publisher price increases.

Product Availability

We carry a large, in-stock inventory. It is our goal to keep new releases and the most popular, best selling items in stock. However, there are items in our database that are either out of stock, unavailable, or serve as referral to another available item. Please be aware that product availability is subject to change at any time. Although our website may indicate an item is in print and/or in stock, there are situations in which that particular item may actually be unavailable. If there is any question regarding availability, please call us at 1-800-772-5918.

Backorders

It is possible that some items may be temporarily out of stock and will need to be backordered. To help us meet your delivery and cost requirements, please specify if backorders are acceptable and whether you would like your order sent in one complete shipment, or if you would prefer two partial shipments. (That is, in-stock items shipped immediately and backordered items shipped upon arrival.) Please note: postage will be added to any and all shipments. Also, if your order is urgent, please provide your required delivery date and whether you are willing to pay for express service if necessary.

Purchase Orders

If your organization pays by Purchase Order, don't forget to include the number. If you will be using a PO but don't yet have one, indicate this by typing "Hold for PO" in the "PO Number" field during the checkout process. Please contact us with your PO number as soon as you have it, either by phone: 1-800-772-5918, fax: 1-800-772-8404, or email.

Shipping Options

Shipping charges are determined by weight and distance and are calculated at the time your order is packaged and shipped. To calculate a shipping charge, add items to your Shopping Cart, and choose your preferred shipping method (USPS, FedEx, etc.). The shipping module will calculate a shipping charge estimate for you. Remove/Delete the items to reset the Shopping Cart if you do not wish to complete the transaction. Actual shipping charges will vary based on size of package and distance traveled. Please note that residential shipments, particularly to rural areas, are typically calculated at higher rates than deliveries made to commercial locations.

Our preferred carrier is FedEx. Sometimes we may use the U.S. Postal Service if we determine it is in the customer's best interest due to size of package, cost of shipping, location, etc.

At our discretion, your pre-chosen postal shipping method may be changed to FedEx so that your order can be insured and properly expedited. You will be notified via email or voice mail should this occur.

Express services are also available. See Rush Orders for more information.

Payment Terms

We accept MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Discover, checks, and money orders -- but no COD's. If you prefer to pay by check or money order, please call 1-800-772-5918 during regular business hours to place your order. Churches and schools will have accounts automatically opened. All accounts are billed monthly and payment is due upon receipt. Schools and Churches in Texas and Oklahoma must provide proof of your tax-exempt status.

Debit/Credit Cards: When you make a debit/credit card purchase, Penders.com requests authorization from your bank for the transaction. Your bank immediately places a hold on your account for that amount. When your merchandise ships, Penders.com charges your account and the withdrawal itself takes place. Sometimes the authorization and withdrawal will both display (electronically) in your online banking information. This is not a double charge. The authorization drops off as the withdrawal is processed, usually within the same transaction cycle. The amounts may differ slightly, due to the actual shipping and handling charges that are applied to your order. If there is a delay in fulfilling your order, or a backorder is ready to be shipped, we will again request authorization from your bank to verify that funds are still available. If your order (or backorder) is cancelled, we will electronically release the hold placed on your account. You may, at your discretion, contact your bank to request an immediate release of the hold placed on your account. Please note it may take your bank several business days to release a hold that they have placed on your account.
