Q-10.What is your
privacy policy? At a "Powered by SWH Apparel" website,
your privacy is a primary concern to us. Our goal in
expanding and clarifying our policy on the collection
and use of customer data is to ensure the highest level
of confidentiality and security. Let us emphasize that
this policy is a corporate-wide policy. When you provide
your personal information to SWH Apparel (such as name,
credit card info, address, phone number, company name,
or the products you are shopping for or purchasing) we
will not give or sell your individual information to
any outside company for its use in marketing or solicitation.
We will maintain the confidentiality of your personal
information and it will be used only to support your
customer relationship with SWH Apparel. Additionally,
internal practices help protect your privacy by limiting
employee access to and use of customer data. When our
CEO asks for customer information, it is done with the
goal of improving the relationship between SWH Apparel
and the customer.
At a "Powered by SWH Apparel" website, we are
helping you maintain control over your personal data while
fostering the growth of a more interactive on-line environment.
Our intention is to only send e-mail to customers or to
individuals whom we believe have chosen to receive such
e-mails. At any time you have the right to 'opt out' of
receiving future communications. And our website offers
robust encryption technology and firewalls to help protect
the transmission of customer information over the Internet.

associations in moving this issue forward and the efforts
of the On-Line Privacy Alliance in pulling the business
and public interest communities together in a meaningful
dialogue. And we are very appreciative of the continuing
efforts being taken by the President and his Administration

options and protections available to them.
Q-11.What are your
shipping rates? All shipping rates are based on the
weight of your items and the location of your shipping
address. Exact prices are not known until you reach the
shipping section of your check out process.
Q-12.I just ordered
something, but now it's on sale. Do you honor price adjustments? ?Yes,
we do issue price adjustments, however your order must
have been placed no more than 7 days before the price
change was made. Please have your invoice # ready and
contact our Customer Service Department to see if you
are eligible for a price adjustment. Your inquiry must
be made within the 7 day window; inquiries made after
will be denied. Price adjustments will not be issued
if your order has already received a discount (including
price adjustments, promotional codes, etc...)
*Price adjustments will not be made if you have already
recieved a discount using a promotional code.
Q-13.My credit
card was declined, but the charge is showing on my credit
card. What happened? YOU HAVE NOT BEEN CHARGED. The "charges" that
are appearing on your card account are called pending
holds. We understand that this is a frustrating situation
for you as well as the entire eCommerce industry. Pending
holds come about because of the way banks verify billing
address information and hold onto funds for any online
transaction that has been submitted for approval. Whenever
you place an order online, the funds are first verified
by your bank prior to the address verification.
Once you submit your credit card information for approval,
your bank/credit company checks to verify the amount
of money available. If you have enough funds, then an
authorization code is given and the money is placed on
hold. Once your funds are verified, then all of the billing
information entered is verified with an AVS - Address
Verification System. If your information is not exactly
how your bank/credit company has it on file, then your
order will not process.
An error message will appear online stating:
AVS Mis Match: The billing address provided does not match
the billing address on file with your credit company. This
allows you to go back and edit the information that you
had previously entered as your billing address. Please
note that any information entered after your billing information,
may have to be re-entered. Such as promotional codes, store
credit, gift card IDs, etc...
Please contact our Customer Service department immediately
so that they can resolve this for you.
Q-14.I want to
purchase an item that I see online, but you don't have
my size. Will it be coming back in stock?
