When will my online order be processed and shipped?

Automated order processing and shipping continues in our 7 shipping warehouses - 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.

Do multi-item orders ship separately?

In many cases, multi-item orders ship separately. This is because we have 7 different shipping warehouses - each with different items. If you purchase multiple items, shipping prices are based on single location shipping, but in many cases, items will be shipped separately from different warehouses. This is explained in our shipping notification.

Do you include an invoice in the shipping box?

No, as with most resellers, we include a packing slip. Please reference your order confirmation and on-line invoice or email to have a copy sent. Please include order number in email requests.

I think I made an item or address order mistake - Can I change my order information?

Credit Card Merchant rules prohibit us from changing orders, shipping methods or addresses post order to prevent fraud. We are required by legal contract to deliver each order - exactly as placed - to the exact address given at order placement.

I changed my mind, can I cancel my order?

Normally, order cancellation is not possible post checkout.
Once checkout is complete, all orders are pulled, packed and moved from individual order warehouses to a central processing facility. Because of our volume, bulk pallets of orders are picked up by UPS and FedEx every hour, but Tracking may not show up for up to 72 hours when the item is scanned at the Carrier Central processing facility. Once this process is in motion, it is impossible to stop.
This is the same as purchase at a Brick and Mortar store where order "cancellation" is not possible after you have completed checkout and left the store - even if you are still in the parking lot. As with this example, you must return the unopened item for refund if you change your mind - post checkout. This is the same process to follow, if you change you mind about an on-line order. For return requests (RMA) please use the following link http://www.antonline.com/request_rma.php. Or go to http://www.antonline.com and click on the RMA icon.
Again, Once checkout is complete, all orders are pulled, packed and moved from individual order warehouses to a central processing facility. Because of our volume, bulk pallets of orders are picked up by UPS and FedEx every hour, but Tracking may not show up for up to 72 hours when the item is scanned at the Carrier Central processing facility. Once this process is in motion, it is impossible to stop.
Additionally, Payment/Order fulfillment contracts (Visa, MC, AMEX, Discover, Paypal, Google) forbids merchants from making any post order changes to orders - legally we must fill every order exactly as sent and do not get paid if we make any post order address, shipping or product changes.

How do I request a return authorization (RMA)?

Please answer all of the questions on our RMA page and submit your answers for approval.
