Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We take the utmost care with the information that you provide us when placing an order on our website (or through any other means).  The server that hosts our online store encrypts the transmission of money payment and personal customer information using the Internet-standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol.  During the encryption process, information is scrambled into small bits of code that cannot be read as they travel to us over the Internet. Once we receive the encrypted information, we use a private, one-of- a-kind key to decode it.

All of the information you provide during the ordering process is restricted to our staff, and we make sure that all of our employees up-to- date on our security and privacy policies.  If you have further questions about the security of ordering online from the Powercomputers LTD, please feel free to e-mail us at powercomputers.net.

Once you have finished adding items to your shopping cart and are ready to complete your transaction, move your cursor to the lower-right corner of the screen and click on the “Checkout” button. You will then be transferred to our secure server and asked to either create a new account or place an order without an account.

If you expect to purchase additional materials from Power Computers or to download any of our free PDFs in the future, you may want to consider setting up an account. If you choose to do so, our site will maintain on file your billing and shipping information as well as your payment data so you do not have to fill out this information each time you visit our secure server. You will also have the ability to view your complete history of purchasing and donations made at Power Computers.

Once you have decided how to proceed, you will be prompted to enter the name and address of the intended recipient of your shipment (i.e. your delivery information), followed by your billing details. You will have the option of indicating that the shipping and billing details are the same, if applicable.

After providing this information, you will need to click on the “Click to calculate shipping” button to determine your delivery charge, if applicable.  Please note that if you are purchasing electronic versions of our publications (PDF, Kindle, etc), you will be asked to calculate shipping costs even though you will not be charged a shipping fee.  If you have a valid promotional code, you may enter it in the “Coupon Discount” field directly beneath the shipping information. Be sure to click on the “Apply to Order” button in order to have your savings calculated and applied to your order.

After completing the shipping and coupon discount information, you will need to enter in your payment details.  Once you have completed the form, click on the “view Order” button. You will be brought to a screen that provides an order summary. Once you are ready to complete your order, click on the “Place order” button to the lower right of your screen.  You will receive an on-screen order confirmation
