Also, if you return an item and chose Economy Shipping when you ordered, we will deduct the actual shipping charge if it is greater than what we charged you to ship.
Q. Why does Galati International only ship to addresses associated with my credit/debit card?
A. To protect our customers and ourselves from credit card fraud, we prefer to ship to the bill to address associated with your credit/debit card. If you must ship to a different address, then we require the ship to addresses to be on file with your credit card company as an alternate shipping address. Most credit/debit cards will keep this information on file.
Q. Can I mail in an order by check or money order?
A. Occasionally there may be a need to mail in a check, money order or cashiers check. We may request pre-payment if the customer is asking to ship to an address not associated with the card on file. In these cases, a customer may fill out an order form and mail in the order along with payment. An order form can be found here: Order Form
