    OK, this may be a dumb question...but here goes.  What happens to all your credit card info when you have stuff shipped to another address?  I have never done this and I don't want my credit card info floating out there.  Is an invoice with personal info included in the box sent over there?  Or is it sent back to me?  Thanks for any info on the matter.  Have a nice day everybody.

    PA Dutch,

    While I haven't done the overseas addresses, even when I have ordered to be shipped to our home recently, all the companies we have ordered from have stopped putting the credit card info on the enclosed sheets, using a shipping list rather than an invoice, and have instructed us to copy the invoice from the computer, and send one by email in addition.  That eliminates the need for the credit card info to be included.

    Thanks, ThanksMom.  It makes sense to just skip them...but I really liked the little 'military purell' bottle that alltravelsizes.com had.  It's probably totally unnecessary and no different than regular Purell, but the marketing description almost had me put some in my cart Big Smile 

    "PURELL® Instant Hand Sanitizer - FST™ Military Bottle. Kills 99.9% of most common germs that may cause illness, without soap or water. Dermatologist tested. Built tough enough for military use - virtually unbreakable. Flexible, lightweight design fits pockets or pouches. Special side grips for easy one-handed dispensing. Embossed, foliage green design blends with uniforms. Low infrared signature for night (NVG) operations. Withstands temperature extremes. 3 - fl. Oz"

    Hi Dave,

    I checked out your store and sent your address on to my brother who immediately placed an order for my nephew.  Really great prices and he appreciated the free shipping and discount you offer.  I'll be taking advantage of it soon.

    Rosemary.....

    Thanks for the referal......

    Regarding the comment above to do with ccard info.....while I can only speak for our particular online store, it is becoming very common that not even the vendor sees/gets/stores your credit card info.  Our site, we never store, see anything.  The order history only shows first 4 and last 4 card number, rest is redacted.  The way this works for us, you enter the credit card info, it is SSL encrypted, transmitted to YOUR bank for approval, then all we get is the up/down result.

     

    Another comment I really have to share here.....we ship a HUGE amount of jerky to our troops overseas, the bothersome part for me is I see more soldiers/marines getting online, buying thier OWN product for shipment to THEMSELVES than we do stateside folks sending it to them.  We have recently changed the literature we send with ALL our orders indicating our position on supporting our troops, reminding them about our ongoing military discount, and encouraging them to remember the troops.  Additionally, we mention they may not know a soldier/marine but there are many sites, such as this one that they could *adopt* a deployed individual.....it is slow taking off, but my mission is to get these folks thinking more about our brave soles in harms way........ongoing process here, but we are on it!

    Found a good one, too. Have used them on a couple of occasions and have zero complaints. http://www.swamisportswear.com. Love the fact that they are 100% Made in USA. It's important to me. Will post a coupon from them later on. Can't seem to find it, but will continue to dig for it.

    Found the coupon for http://www.swamisportswear.com

    20% off anything by using code OCONUS at checkout. It's actually a better Swami Sportswear coupon than I had before. Just happened to find this one at another site like this. There is NOT a deadline to use it, so hang on to it and use it when you need to.

     Out!
