ADDRESS AUTHORISATION AND AUTHENTICATION (AVS & CV2)
• All the transaction information you enter is sent to your own card issuer for authorisation and authentication (AVS and CV2). If the funds are authorised, your card issuer holds the amount in a deferred payment account until we despatch your order. Then they compare the name and address details you enter on our web site, with the name and address details in their records. If the details you entered do not match EXACTLY with their records, they advise us to comply with card regulations and guidelines and cancel the order.
The most common reason for non-authentication of address details are:
• You have moved and have not notified your card issuer
• You have entered you work address but your card is registered to your home address
• You have entered your address or post code incorrectly (Do not confuse the letter O with the number zero)
• Your card issuer may have recorded your details incorrectly when you opened your card account
• You have made several unsuccessful attempts to place an order
