TOP REASONS FOR ORDER DELAY

We try our best to ship orders as soon as possible. Most items are normally shipped in next business day for orders placed after 10:00pm PST, paid with credit card without complication, and with UPS shipping methods. However, some delays may occur. Here we list the top reasons for delays to help customers to understand the process and avoid delays.

The Total time between an order is placed and goods are received = Time it takes for us to process an order + Time it takes to pack and ship all items + Time it takes for all packages to be delivered by the shipping company.

A. Delays caused by shipping companies and shipping methods:

1. Delays by shipping companies: UPS does not guarantee Ground Shipping. For shipping addresses that are far away from California, normally it takes 5-6 business days for UPS to delivery. However, occasionally but rarely it may take 10 or more business days. Please also note that UPS does not guarantee air shipment to residential addresses.

2. Delays during holiday seasons between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Shipping companies do not guarantee any shipment a couple of weeks before Christmas. Make your gift purchases and arrangements early.

3. USPS shipments will be delayed 4-7 days before shipping from our warehouse since these are not our regular carriers. Special arrangement has to be made for extra manned labor to delivered to USPS stations on non-business hours, i.e. Saturday.

B. Delays due to complications in billing and shipping information provided by customers:

1. If consumers provide wrong address and/or zip code used in their order, shipping companies can't deliver and may send the packages back to us.

2. Wrong shipping method chosen: For instance, UPS does not deliver to PO boxes. UPS Ground does not deliver to Hawaii or Alaska. If a wrong shipping method is chosen, we have to contact you before shipping, which may result in delays in shipping.

3. Billing information inconsistent with what's on the credit card record, requiring verification. To protect the credit card holder, we have to call, email and/or use other ways to verify that the credit card holder authorized this purchase. The verification process starts soon after a order is received; however it may take from a few hours to a few business days to complete depending on the response we receive. It is critical that you have a working phone number and e-mail address for us to contact you should there be any problem with your order. Billing address/name different from shipping address/name, requiring verification. Again, we must verify the credit card information before shipping to protect credit card holders.

4. High-value and consumer items are ordered without a manned, working phone number for phone verification. Chances for credit card fraud are much higher for these items that are often designated some verification. You must have a working phone number with your order. Sometimes, signed, dated, and faxed purchase orders with a copy of pictured ID are required.

5. No one at the shipping-to address to accept the package. The shipping company may send the package back to us.

C. Delays due to nature of the payment methods and orders:

1. Purchase orders may be delayed for us to verify account information. We will only accept POs from Public school, government, or Fortune 500. Please include the shipping charge in PO.

2. System orders are normally shipped in 2-3 business days. Please allow adequate time for us to assemble, configure and test systems before shipping.

3. Prepay orders will be delayed until we receive the cashier's check or money order.

4. Orders placed during non-business hours such as evenings, weekends, and holidays will not be processed until the next business day.

D. Delays due Golden Bridge Technology, Inc facility operations and/or web server:

1. Shortage of ordered item(s). This is currently affecting less than 4% of all orders. We try to contact customers in case of shortage that delays orders for more than one business days. We try to ship the order in whole without any back order unless you instruct otherwise.

2. Drop shipped items such as printers, notebook batteries, and special memory modules typically require more time to process the order.

3. Orders are received late by our host server during business hours. It is rarely happened. However, it may occur if any of the servers run into a problem.
