    Payment Information

    How can I pay for my order?

    SkyGeek only accepts Credit Cards & PayPal® for payment. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. 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 “SkyGeek.com”.

    Back to Top


    I got charged twice! What now?

    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 service@SkyGeek.com and we'll take care of it.

    Back to Top


    Can I get a price break?

    Luckily for you we go by the "equal pricing for everybody" theory. What that means is that we sell to everyone via our website at the same price. If we can offer a quantity price break it will be indicated on the website. Availability/lead time of each product is also stated on the website.

    Back to Top


    Can I pay with a check?

    1. Select the items that you are interested in and pretend you are placing the order by adding them to your Shopping Cart. You will not be charged until many steps after this, don't worry. Go ahead, try it...
    2. After your items are in the “Checkout” screen adjust the quantities as necessary and hit the “Update” button.

We make every attempt to get all stock orders shipped each day. However, we don’t always make it. If we don’t get your order out the day it was placed, it will ship the next business day.

    Why do you seem to love FedEx and UPS but dislike the mail/USPS?

    Are we that transparent? Well, we love FedEx and UPS 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 or 1-800-PICK-UPS, 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 or UPS. OK, off the soapbox. Choose what you wish, but let it be known that we prefer FedEx and UPS as a shipping method. We ship THOUSANDS of packages monthly and their track record just speaks for itself.

    Back to Top


    My package is stuck in transit. What can I do?

    Unfortunately our hands are tied once a package has left our warehouse on the truck. You can call them at 1-800-GO-FEDEX or 1-800-PICK-UPS 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 or UPS 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 or UPS lost my package, they don't know where it is. Now what?

    Email us at service@SkyGeek.com 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?

    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 returns@SkyGeek.com.

    What are all the shipping “Ins and Outs?”

    You asked, so here you go:
