My order was declined (top)

When "Credit card was declined" appears while processing an order it means that your credit card bank has declined the transaction. Usually, a quick call to your credit card bank's customer service will clear this up. If problems persist, please use the Fax or Mail options to have the order processed.

Please note that all orders are reviewed by Plimus and a very small percentage of them are declined if inconsistencies are identified by our system. If this is the case with your order you will receive an e-mail from Plimus informing you that your order was declined. If you wish to place your order again, you may do so. Please be sure to include your full name, correct address and a phone number where you can be reached in the event that we need to reach you to verify the order.

I am having ordering difficulties (top)

Please complete the order by fax or phone and we will manually process your order. Alternatively, email support@plimus.com with a brief description of the situation or give us a call at 1-866-312-7733 (toll free in the US and Canada) or 1-858-350-7473.

I did not receive my confirmation email/receipt email (top)

Please check your spam and/or junk mail folders as the e-mail may have been sent there. If you are still unable to locate the e-mail you may contact the vendor directly or you may email Plimus Customer Support at support@plimus.com for assistance.

The download link has expired, and I need to download again (top)

To reactivate your download, contact the vendor from whom you bought your product. You can also email us at support@plimus.com and we’ll take care of this for you. You will receive an email with your link and download instructions.

I did not receive my confirmation email/receipt email (top)

Contact the vendor from whom you made your purchase. They will be able to re-send you this email.

I was double-charged (top)

First of all, don’t panic. We are here to help you even if this may take a little time. Please double-check with your credit-card provider: sometimes they will hold more than one transaction in Pending status, especially if it took a few tries to complete the transaction. If there is, indeed, more than one transaction in Settled status, please fax your credit card statement, or other written confirmation, to us at +1-858-777-5553 and we will gladly take care of it.

I want to pay by wire transfer and need your bank information (top)

Please select "Wire" as the payment method in the order page. After clicking the "Next" button, you will be taken to a page with detailed instructions, including your order reference number and our bank details.

I am concerned that your order page is not secure (top)

Our Order Pages are hosted in a very secure environment. However, there are a number of settings your vendor may have selected that cause the ‘padlock’ graphic not to show in your browser. The most common are that either the payment page is nested in a frame (the payment process is secure, but the frameset in which it is displayed may not be); or the vendor uses non-secure graphics, which make the browser think the whole page is insecure.

Please accept our assurances that your transactions are always conducted over secure connections. If you would still prefer to complete the transaction by telephone please select phone order option on the product purchase form, and you will be given the relevant phone number to call.

How Is Sales Tax Calculated? (top)

As a California-based company, we must collect CA sales tax from all customers in CA when buying a non-electronic only product.

How Is VAT Calculated? (top)

We collect VAT from all EU consumers who do not have a valid VAT ID for electronically delivered products. We collect this VAT and pay it directly to the relevant national authorities.

Can I Use a Purchase Order? (top)

This method is usually used by larger corporations and is available only for orders of $100 USD or more. Purchase order orders are processed in the manner described below:

• Generate a Quote or Proforma Invoice from the relevant Seller's online order page. 
• Fax us your PO
• We enter your PO into our system, where it awaits vendor approval
• Once the PO is approved, the order is processed and the product delivered
• You will receive an invoice from us with instructions on how to send payment
