How
do I know if a product I see on your site is in
stock?

our site as current as possible, so you can shop with confidence that

you've
ordered becomes unavailable, we will notify you. If you are concerned
about
availability on a specific item, call us at 1-718-643-8005 (please have

Doesn't
the Internet Tax Freedom Act
say that I don't have to pay sales tax when shopping online?
The
Internet
Tax Freedom Act prevents states from imposing any new taxes on Internet
transactions. Since we conduct business in NY State, the laws require
us to
collect sales tax under its pre-existing sales tax laws.

Is
shopping online at ShopBedding.com
secure?
In
a word, yes.
We use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology to ensure our site's
security.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed
to be
100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal
information,
ShopBedding.com cannot ensure or warrant the security of any
information you
transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so
at your
own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to
ensure
its security on our systems. When your credit card information is
transmitted
to ShopBedding.com, we use industry standard, SSL (secure socket layer)
encryption to ensure the security of your information. We also have
appropriate
security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect
against the
loss, misuse or alteration of information that we have collected from
you at ShopBedding.com.
Regardless of the foregoing, due to the open nature of the internet, we
do not
guarantee the absence of theft, hacker activity, electronic or
non-electronic
tampering, or computer crime, and we disclaim responsibility and
liability for
stolen information, except to the extent of the following commitment we
make to
you.
However,
Visa
and MasterCard currently have a “Zero Liability Policy” in place, which
protects all credit and debit card holders from responsibility for any
charges
due to fraudulent use. See their websites for further details.
