Secure Ordering

Safe, Secure On-Line Orders at Rob McIntosh China

Rob McIntosh China understands your concerns over Internet security. Because we share your concerns, we've worked closely with our internet system provider and their proprietary World Merchant System to develop a highly secure on-line ordering process-one that lets you shop and order with confidence. All order information is processed via 128 bit-encrypted transmissions, the highest level of security available on the internet and the same level of security that banks use to conduct on-line banking.

Ordering from Rob McIntosh is as safe as ordering can be.

The Secure Order Process

Using the World Merchant System software, in conjunction with features built into popular browser software and third-party credit card processors, our site provides advanced security for your on-line purchases.

The security features are automatic; you don't need to do anything special to invoke them.

After you've decided on the items you want to purchase, you'll be prompted to continue your order by clicking on "Select". The item you selected will be added to your shopping cart. As you proceed further, you will be required to fill out an order form with your name, address, etc. At this point, you enter a secure mode.

Your computer and our host server begin communicating in secure mode, sending data back and forth in an encrypted format. It's at this point that we ask you for your credit card information. 128-bit encryption software is exceptionally powerful and ensures the security of this data as it is transmitted to our host server. Once your order arrives in our store, we treat it with the utmost care, as we do with any other credit card transaction information.

Use of your e-mail address
We send one e-mail message to confirm each on-line order you make, and we occasionally use e-mail addresses for promotion of sales or other items of interest to our customers. If you do not wish to receive these promotions, you may un-subscribe at any time. We do not sell or share e-mail addresses with anyone.

Except to verify credit card information to complete your order, we do not use or release any credit card or financial information for any purpose.
