My credit card was rejected!

Occasionally, you may find that your order has been cancelled due to the reason ‘Credit Card Rejected’. We would like to kindly reassure you that this decline may be due to many reasons and is no way a reflection of your credit rating.


A credit card can be declined because:


· During the transfer of funds, there was an Internet connection problem

· Your bank or credit card company was having technical issues

· The company that processes credit cards on our behalf was having technical issues

· The credit card number or the expiry date you provided us was incorrect

· Your credit card expired
