Q: Why are my shipping and handling charges different from your shipping and handling chart? A: Shipping charges are applied to item retail prices before any special bonuses or discounts are applied. The shipping charge for free items is calculated by the retail price of the free item and will be charged to your credit card when the free item ships.
Q: Why is my certificate/coupon/credit not reflected in my e-mail confirmations? A: Our order and shipment confirmations reflect the order total excluding pay types. Because certificates, credits, and coupons are applied to the order as a type of payment, like a Visa or Mastercard, you would not see these discounts reflected on your confirmation. The "Amount Charged" refers both to the amount charged to your merchandise credit, gift certificate, or coupon and the amount charged to your credit card.
Q: How do I redeem my bonus code? A: To redeem a bonus code, enter the bonus code number into the box labeled "Enter Bonus Codes Here" in your shopping cart. Only one bonus code is allowed per order. Current bonus codes may be applied to new orders only.
Q: How do I redeem my Gift Certificate or Merchandise Credit? A: To redeem a gift certificate or merchandise credit, enter the gift certificate or merchandise credit number into the box labeled "Gift Certificate or Merchandise Credit" located on the Payment Info page. Only one gift certificate and/or merchandise credit is applicable per online order. If you are applying more than one certificate or credit, you may e-mail us at info@waysidecs.com or call our Customer Service department at 1-800-213-0379 to have the additional certificates or credits applied. When contacting us, please be prepared to provide your order number and gift certificate/merchandise credit number.
Q: Why are the newsletter special prices not reflected in my shopping cart? A: To receive the specials advertised in our newsletter, enter the bonus code into the box labeled "Enter Bonus Codes Here" in your shopping cart. The bonus code to be applied should be located in the heading or body of the newsletter mailing.
