Ordering Information and Legalese

IMPORTANT ORDERING INFORMATION

PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING!

 
 
 

Welcome to the official Budoshin Jujitsu store. Please read th store policies below before ordering and click on the categories to the left to select a product. Thanks for visiting! I appreciate your business. If you need more information about ordering or if you’d like me to put together a special or custom package for you, contact me by clicking here.

 

You can pay for your order in three ways:

 

1] ORDER WITH PAYPAL or OTHER ELECTRONIC DIRECT DEPOSIT: All of the products in the Budoshin Ju-Jitsu Store can be purchased directly  through PayPal®. I recommend that you open a PayPal account as it will give you buyer protections. Other means of direct electronic payment are also available. Contact me or read Kokoro for more information.
PayPal Credit Card Security: All parts of your transaction will take place on a secure PayPal site. No information is stored on the Budoshin Ju-Jitsu Website.

 2] DIRECT MAIL ORDER WITH PERSONAL CHECK OR MONEY ORDER: You may also order materials directly from me and pay with your own personal check or money order, I will ship immediately if you use a money order. Personal checks require 8-10 business days for clearance once deposited.

  • Money orders or bank cashier checks preferred in the U.S. and ARE REQUIRED ON ALL FOREIGN ORDERS IF YOU ARE NOT ORDERING THROUGH PAYPAL.

  • Personal checks may require clearance before items shipped. There is a $25 fee for returned checks! 

  • ABSOLUTELY NO PERSONAL CHECKS OR CASH ACCEPTED ON FOREIGN ORDERS! 

  • Once the order form is complete, simply print the order on your printer and mail it, along with a check or money order made out to “Budoshin Ju-Jitsu”, to the BJJY, P.O. Box 801854, Santa Clarita, CA 91380-1854.

3] CUSTOM ORDERS: If you want to purchase several different products please feel free to e-mail me & I’ll give you a total price within a day or two, which may include a significant shipping & handling discount over purchasing the items individually. If it’s acceptable to you I’ll send you an e-mail, describing your custom order, and including a PayPal “Buy Now” button, which will take you directly to PayPal for your custom order.

 

INTERNATIONAL & CANADIAN ORDERS 

  • If you choose Global Priority the postage fee includes “tracking” your parcel. It isn’t insurance but your parcel is safer than uninsured mail in most countries — depending upon where you live.  🙂 In some cases Priority Mail can be insured. If so, I will do it. In some cases I will ship by “Express Mail” rather than Global Priority in order to insure insurance coverage if available.

  • If you reside outside of the U.S. please pick the appropriate order line: “global priority”, “Canada” or “international” so that you will be charged the proper amount for shipping & handling on “buy now” purchases. In some cases I will ship by “Express Mail” rather than Global Priority in order to insure insurance coverage if available.

  • I will ship using  USPS Global Priority or Global Express whenever possible as long as the value of the items ordered doesn’t exceed $100 and the weight doesn’t exceed 2 lb [for Global Express]. It is more cost-effective than air parcel post & quicker too.

  • Why is Canadian & foreign postage so expensive? In order to get insurance coverage, most countries require that the parcel be “registered.” That’s an additional several dollars added onto the already high postage for shipping airmail.

  • If you are a Canadian or foreign customer and have a PayPal account, you can order from me & I will issue a refund if there is any excessive S&H overcharge that will be credited to your PayPal account after I ship your order — unless I can figure out the refund beforehand.

PAYPAL REFUND POLICY REVISION EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 11, 2019:

     PayPal will be changing it’s refund policy, effective October 11, 2019, as follows:

“In line with industry practice and according to our updated policy . . . the fees from the original transaction will not be returned. This policy will not apply to duplicate transactions, voids and most disputed transactions. You can review the PayPal User Agreement for more information on our return policies.”

     As a result, although I’d prefer not to, I will have to follow the same refund policy. I will refund your original purchase price minus the PayPal fee charged to me for your purchase.

     However, since the number of customers requesting refunds is almost non-existent, I don’t see this as an issue. Also, if I decide to give a partial refund on a purchase, you will receive the actual refund as offered or advertised.

 

REFUNDS, RETURNS, SALES TAXES AND OTHER ITEMS: 
–All prices are in US dollars & are subject to change. 
–California sales tax of 9.75% will be added to all orders shipped to California addresses.
–There is a 20% restocking charge on all returned unused/unopened goods plus you have to pay postage & insurance unless the product is defective.

–Non-defective goods altered or used in any manner may not be returned.

-All sales of mp4, pdf, or other digital/electronic products are FINAL. There is ABSOLUTELY no refund available  for any mp4, pdf, or other digital/electronic files purchased by you. Defective merchandise will be replaced.
