6. Payment Authorization
 

All purchases are subject to bank authorization prior to processing. Only authorized purchases will be processed and shipped.

 

7. Payment Authorization Holds
 

When placing an order using a credit card or debit card, two transactions post to your account:

 

• The issuing bank for your payment card will place an authorization hold on the funds in your account for the purchase amount. This action reserves the funds for the pending charge. 

• The order is charged, and your bank removes the funds from your account. The charge may vary from the amount of the authorization hold if items within the order do not ship.

 

If an order cancels, the issuing bank removes the authorization hold. For details on the removal of authorization holds, please contact the issuing bank’s customer service. Because this process is specific to each bank, we regret that we cannot help with the removal of authorization hold. 

 

8. Order Inquiries

 

An Account allows you to check the status of your most recent orders by visiting our Order Status page. This is the easiest and fastest way to get current information regarding your Online orders.

 

For orders shipped within the United States, click on the Order Status page, log in with your email address and password. An order summary page will provide you with detailed information about your current and past orders.

 

After your order ships, your tracking number, if available, will be displayed. To track your order via the carrier's website, you may click on the tracking number to view the delivery status of your order.

 

Please note: some carriers may not have tracking information available for up to 24 business hours after the order ships.

 

9. Order Cancellations

 

If you would like to cancel an online order, please contact us within one hour of placement. You can contact us through the “LiveChat” agent or email us at store@thesmap.org.

 

The Single Mother Advancement Project (THESMAP) will do our best to accommodate your request. Once an order is processing, we regret that it cannot be changed or cancelled.
