How would I know if my order was successfully placed?

At checkout, you should see a confirmation. Also, you will receive an email with order details and confirmation.

Why have I not received my order confirmation email?

Usually there are two reasons: (1) the email address provided may be obsolete, incorrect or outdated; (2) You may have a spam blocker filtering email from us. Make sure to keep your user information current and try turning off any spam blockers that may be preventing our messages from getting to you.

My order was cancelled, why do I still see the charge on my credit card statement?

You will see a pending charge on your bank account as soon as you submit your order. If your order was cancelled, we send this information to your bank so that they will remove the pending charge from your account. Depending on how your individual bank handles authorizations, this may take 1 to several days to resolve. Please contact your bank directly for more information or assistance.

My ordered was cancelled, what does this mean?

Some items sell so fast that the inventory on our website did not have a chance to catch up with the order system. We update our inventory as quickly as possible to avoid such situations; however, sometimes some items are out of stock in our Fulfillment Center. When this happens we immediately try to locate a replacement and that may not always be successful. We understand this can be an inconvenience and we're sorry for it.

If you paid with a credit card, the pending authorization against this order should be released from your account within a few business days. If you paid with a debit card or PayPal, your statement may reflect a pending authorization. The authorization will not be completed and the funds will be restored within 2-14 business days. Please contact your banking institution for further information. If you paid with a gift card a replacement will be sent to you via email. If you applied a Reward to your order, it is available for you to use until the printed expiration date.

Who should I contact if I haven't received my order?

We begin processing orders immediately and do this every day Monday through Friday. We do not process orders or ship them on weekends or holidays. If you still think your order is missing, contact us through our Live Chat or by email at hey@bonton.com during normal business hours.

Why am I not able to track my order using the tracking information provided in the shipping confirmation email?

Once you receive a shipping confirmation email, it may take 1-2 business days for UPS, FedEx or USPS to update the tracking information from the time of shipping initiation.

How will you notify me if there is a problem with my order?

We will send you an email that you used when placing your order. So it is important that your email address is accurate and current.

What should I do if I do not recognize a charge from Bonton.com or one that I did not authorize?

If you see a Bonton.com charge on your credit card statement that you or a joint account holder or other authorized user on your account did not authorize, report those charges to your issuing bank as quickly as possible. Oftentimes, such charges result from a stolen credit card or a compromised card number, and reporting the issue to your bank is the fastest and safest route to resolve the issue. As a reminder and before reporting the charges make sure they weren’t made by a  joint account holder  or  other authorized user  on your account.

Securing Your Information

What kind of security does Bonton.com offer for my online purchases?

We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), the industry standard for Internet Commerce transaction security, to encrypt your credit card and personal information as it travels over the Internet to us. In addition, we employ an outside third-party company to ensure all credit card information is tokenized hence properly safeguarded. As a result you can shop with confidence.

Occasionally, your credit card issuer may determine that unauthorized charges are made on your credit card as a result of purchases made on our website, in such a case we will reimburse you up to $50 of any amount you are required to pay by the card issuer. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA), Federal law limits your responsibility for unauthorized charges to $50; and hence, we will cover you for this liability. In the event of an unauthorized use of your credit card, you should notify the card issuer in writing as soon as possible.

Will you sell or share my email address with other companies?

We do not sell your email address or personal information to other companies. We may share your email address or personal information with certain third parties who provide services to us such as to notify you of the order placed on our website, to fulfill your order, to send you shipping information, to start the returns process, or for marketing communication that you indicated you want to receive from us. Our policy is to protect your information and to only use it for authorized communications only. You may review our  Privacy Policy  here.
