Only Debit Cards backed by a Credit Card company listed above (Visa, MasterCard, etc) can be accepted. Sorry our website will not accept Gift Cards issued by Visa & MasterCard We do not accept Switch, Electron, Maestro and some other international debit cards. Please note that the charge on your statement will appear " PresentsForPilots.com ".
Back to Top

“ You charged me twice! I see it right here on my credit card statement/online banking!!! ”
The apparent double charge is actually an authorization and then an actual charge. Your bank sets aside the money for us to take when you place your order (this usually stays on your account history for up to 30 days) and then when we actually take the money the charge shows up again. You can contact your bank to verify this, but it is common practice and we are often contacted by customers in the same situation as you asking why we charged them twice.
Back to Top

Why did you take my PayPal money when the item was backordered?
PayPal is an immediate payment method that is processed whether or not the item is in stock. We would be happy to refund your PayPal payment now and then request payment again when it is ready to ship if you'd like, just shoot us an email at Customercare@PresentsForPilots.com and we'll take care of it.

Why do you seem to love FedEx but dislike the mail/USPS?
Are we that transparent? Well, we love FedEx because along with inexpensive shipping you also get a tracking number that will show you where your shipment is, 24 hour customer support by calling 1-800-GO-FEDEX and free insurance on packages valued up to $100. Also, we find that they don't like to pull the Ace Ventura soccer moves with your boxes and customers just seem a lot happier overall with the service. Now there are those of you out there who will do anything to get the cheapest shipping method so you will choose the mail/USPS. Fine. Just know that your shipment is in the hands of the postal service who does not give you tracking information or insurance unless you request it specially and pay extra. By the time you pay extra you might as well have used FedEx. OK, off the soapbox. Choose what you wish, but let it be known that we prefer FedEx as a shipping method. We ship THOUSANDS of packages monthly and their track record just speaks for itself.

So you say FedEx is so great. I chose it as my shipping method and now my package is stuck in transit. What are you going to do about that, Smarty Geeks?
Unfortunately our hands are tied once a package has left our warehouse on the truck. You can call them at 1-800-GO-FEDEX and talk with a representative about the whereabouts of your shipment. Then, if they can't tell you anything give us a call and we will see what we can do. PLEASE NOTE ( and we are not just making this up) - FedEx will want to have spoken with YOU, the recipient, BEFORE hearing from US, the shipper. So please be kind enough to go ahead and make that toll-free call ( hit "0" repeatedly to get through to a human being) and ask them about the package. Once it has left our location it is considered YOUR package, which is why they want to talk to you first. OK? OK.
Back to Top

FedEx has officially lost my package, I called them and they don't know where it is. Now what?
Call us 888-SKY-GEEK ( 759-4335) and we will ship you another one. ( Items are subject to availability and special ordered items may take a little while to get into stock for you, sorry).
Back to Top

Why hasn't my USPS/mail package arrived yet? You guys are messing with my head, right? I got an email saying that it had shipped? I even double checked and it has indeed been shipped to the right address. I really need the part!
Unfortunately we have no control of the mail. There is no actual tracking available through USPS and the “ confirmation number” you have guarantees that we printed a label and mailed your shipment. You might want to call your local post office and see if they are holding the package for some reason, otherwise our suggestion is to the order again online with a different shipping method if you need the order soon. You can return the original order to us within 30 days of the date of purchase, just email us for an RMA number at CustomerCare@PresentsForPilots.com.

What are all the shipping “ ins and outs? ”
You asked, so here you go: NOTE: If the item that you are trying to ship is Hazmat you will have an additional fee added to your order when you check out. Sorry, but things that can go "boom" are hard to ship and we have to pass on our fees. NOTE: International Hazmat Fee=$80.00 in addition to the freight displayed. Domestic Hazmat Fee=$40.00 in addition to the freight price displayed. NOTE: Fire Extinguishers, MEK, Toluene & Paint Thinner are subject to a $20.00 Hazmat fee via FedEx Ground. NOTE: We will be happy to ship an order to any international destination. However, the customer will be responsible for the cost of shipping as well as all duties and taxes charged at the time of importation. Duties and taxes not paid when you receive your order will be billed back to you using the same method of payment with which your original order was paid. By federal law, we are required to follow all export laws with respect to declaration and customs documentation.
