Answers

Shipping

  1. Do you ship to PO Boxes ?
    Yes, we can ship to PO Boxes, but we prefer "UPS friendly" addresses since UPS picks up our packages each weekday. In contrast, we must transport PO Box orders to the post office. Therefore, we usually ship USPS orders twice a week (usually Tuesday & Friday) instead of each weekday. So please provide "UPS friendly" address for fastest service. Please note, we cannot ship to PO Boxes via "expedited" services like: Next Day Air, 2nd Day Air, etc. Once your order has been shipped, we will email you with the tracking / reference number.

  2. Do you ship to US military addresses (APO / FPO) ?
    Yes, we ship all APO / FPO orders via USPS for a flat fee of $10 additional. Please be sure to select: State = "APO / FPO" in step 1 of checkout. USPS does not have everyday pickup like UPS so APO / FPO orders are shipped twice a week (usually Tuesday / Friday.) Please note, we cannot ship to APO / FPO addresses via "expedited" services such as: Next Day Air, 2nd Day Air, etc. Once your order has been shipped, we will email you with the tracking / reference number.

  3. Can you ship orders via FedEx or via my FedEx account ?
    No, we do not use FedEx services whatsoever. We have used FedEx extensively in the past, but we were EXTREMELY dissatisfied with their service.

  4. Do you ship internationally ?
    Yes, we do ship to most countries but we DO NOT ship to:
    Nigeria or Ghana due to the      EXTREMELY high amount of online credit card fraud. Shipping a pair of cleats (3 lb package) to most locations (UK, Australia, Japan, etc.) via USPS Global Express Service will cost about $30 additional. Delivery usually takes about 3-5 business days barring any delays in customs, which we cannot control.
     

    Please note that all international credit cards (except US & Canada) must be processed through our secure online escrow service, which charges a minimum fee of $18. We must follow this protocol to protect our customers and ourselves from international credit card fraud since we are 100% financially responsible if we process a fraudulent order. Once payment is approved by escrow.com, we will ship your order and email you the tracking number so you can track your package at www.usps.com. If you would like to make a purchase, please place your order online and we will contact you with final shipping quote for your approval. We WILL NOT process your credit card directly. We require the submission of a credit card number so obvious fraudulent orders can be identified / ignored so we can concentrate on legitimate customers.

    IMPORTANT: All international sales are FINAL due to excessive transportation, customs, duties and taxes. PLEASE be sure you are ordering the correct product(s) / size(s)!

  5. Do you ship to Canada ?
    Yes, we do ship to Canada via USPS Global Express mail for a flat fee of $20 for most orders. Once your order has shipped, we will email you the tracking number so you can track your package at www.usps.com.

  6. Can you ship international orders via UPS, FedEx or DHL instead of US Postal Service ?
    No we cannot. We have tried all of these carriers for international shipments over the past 4 years, but have experienced a great number of problems regarding excessive customs, duties and value added taxes (VATs) with all carriers except USPS. In addition, we have shipped hundreds of packages via USPS service to over 50 countries and have yet to "lose" a package -- although all international orders are fully insured -- another advantage of USPS Global Express Mail. Therefore, all international orders and most Alaskan / Hawaiian orders are shipped via USPS service -- sorry, no exceptions.

Payment

  1. What is Address Verification Service (AVS) ?
    AVS is a tool employed by merchants like ourselves to help eliminate / minimize credit card fraud. When a customer submits their credit card billing address during checkout, this address is automatically compared with the information on file for this credit card with Amex, Discover, MC or Visa respectively. If this information does not match EXACTLY, we cannot process the order since we are 100% financially responsible if we process an order that turns out to be fraudulent. Most of our customers greatly appreciate our “zero tolerance” approach to credit card fraud.

  2. How do I locate my EXACT credit card billing address ?
    Your monthly credit card statement usually displays your EXACT billing address. If you are still unsure, please contact your credit card's issuing bank to confirm / change you billing address.

  3. What is CVV2 ?
    CVV2 is another anti-fraud tool used by merchants to confirm that the actual credit card is in the possession of the customer. The CVV2 code is the 3-digit number located on the back of most credit cards (usually last 3 digits.) If a customer submits the corresponding 3-digit code for the credit card being used, it is a strong indication that the customer possesses the actual card and is not just using stolen credit card numbers from a database.

  4. Do you accept money orders ?

Returns

  1. How do I exchange / return an order ?
    Please email us A COPY OF YOUR ORIGINAL EMAIL RECEIPT (returns@Soccerfans.com) with reason for exchange / refund. If you cannot locate email receipt, please send as much information as possible: email address used to make purchase, customer name / address, purchase date, etc. – we process hundreds of new orders each week so the more information you provide, the easier it is for us to assist you. Once we have your full exchange / refund request information, we will email you with complete instructions to expedite exchange / return process. Once we receive and verify condition of products (UNWORN / UNUSED), we will process exchange / refund and email you the tracking information / transaction details. Please be aware that the customer is responsible for all additional shipping costs resulting from exchanges / returns – unless exchange / return is necessary due to error by Soccerfans.com. If that occurs, please contact us following instructions above and we will respond with a protocol that will resolve problem, at no additional cost to the customer.

  1. Do you produce a printed catalog ?
    No, we do not produce a printed catalog. Although we have produced catalogs in the past, we have found that products, sizes and prices change so quickly that the catalogs were "out-dated" by the time they were complete! Therefore, all of our products are displayed and ready for purchase on our secure, ecommerce site, www.
    soccerfans.com, which is updated several times a day with new products and real-time inventory.
