Returned Checks

 A $50 fee will be charged for each NSF or Stop Payment item returned to our bank. 

Chargeback Policy

BGGE Gift Shop considers credit card charge backs to be fraud if you have made no reasonable effort to work with us to resolve any problems with your purchase.  If you are dissatisfied with your order or have not received it, you should contact us before attempting a chargeback.  

If you place a chargeback with your credit card company (on purpose or by mistake) for any order that you placed and we shipped to you, upon receiving the chargeback by our merchant provider , there will be a $75 fee charged to your account to recover applicable chargeback fees we have to pay and to cover our investigative expenses to prove that you did make the purchase.

Therefore:  You agree that if you, the buyer, choose to do business with BGGE Gift Shop, and you file a charge back with your credit card company, and you do not win the charge back argument, you agree to pay us $75.00 for our time responding to the matter.  You, the buyer authorize us to charge this amount to your credit card. 

In the event that you do win the charge back with your credit card company, and have not returned our goods, BGGE Gift Shop will make all recovery attempts to collect fraudulently disputed charges plus additional costs via a third-party collection agency and your account will be reported to all credit bureaus as a delinquent collection account. This may severely damage your credit rating for at least the next seven (7) years.

At this point, we will no longer accept a return of the merchandise as settlement for the debt and will only accept payment in full. In addition to this, BGGE Gift Shop will file a report with your local police or sheriff’s department, and file a mail fraud complaint with the United States Postal Inspection Service.

Secure Payment Processing

BGGE Gift Shop has taken proactive steps to ensure that your information remains confidential and secure both online and off line.  We do not sell, rent, or share your information.  Please read our Privacy Policy regarding personal information collected at this site.

ON Line - The security of your information, transactions, and money is the core of VeriSign and PayPal.  It is their top priority.  They automatically encrypt your confidential information in transit from your computer to theirs using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits (the highest level commercially available).

OFF Line -Information gathered from money orders & checks is safely guarded & protected.  Providing credit card information via e-mail is not secure, therefore, you will not be allowed to pay for orders through this option.  

Minimum Order

There are no minimum order requirements to buy at our deeply discounted prices.  Simply pay for the item, shipping, sales tax (if applicable), and  - nothing more.

Sales Tax

We only collect  sales tax for orders made and shipped within Alabama.  We do not collect sales taxes for orders shipped to other states; however, you may be liable for sales tax to your state on the merchandise you receive.  Please check with your state's taxing authority for "use tax" regulations.

Currently, Alabama sales tax rate is 10%.  We are required by law to collect taxes on shipping.

Order Processing

After you submit your order, you will receive an electronic confirmation that your order was placed.  We will begin processing your order immediately; however the method of payment determines when your order is released for shipment.  Generally, orders are released in:

  • 1-2 business days if paid by PayPal funds, BGGE Gift Certificates, money orders & certified checks. 
  • 1-3 business days if paid by debit/credit cards, dependent on the accuracy of the information given to us by the customer.
  • 4 -15 business days if paid by personal, business, cashier, or e-checks (if funds have been cleard by our bank)

If a situation arises that will delay your order in any way, we will contact you by phone or email.

There may be certain orders that we are unable to accept and must cancel.  BGGE Gift Shop reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to refuse or cancel any order for any reason.

Some situations that may result in your order being canceled include:

  • Limitations on quantities available for purchase
  • Inaccuracies or errors in product or pricing information
  • Problems identified by PayPal's credit and fraud avoidance department  (Review our chargeback policy!)

Shipping Restrictions

 BGGE Gift Shop ships anywhere in the continental United States (not to Alaska or Hawaii) via UPS Ground.  We cannot ship to P.O. boxes or military addresses.  Sorry, we do not offer any other options at this time.

Shipping & Handling

Shipping cost has risen over the years due to high fuel costs and a growing list of delivery surcharges by the carriers and our distributors.  BGGE is charged a handling fee for small orders.  However, BGGE Gift Shop now charges a flat shipping rate of $8.50 for orders $50 and under and $10.50 for orders $50.01 and $100.  Orders over $100 & up are free.  BGGE Gift Shop may incur a higher freight charge for bulkier items which we cannot absorb solely, and must be passed on to the customer.  You will be informed and given the option to cancel part or all of your order. 

These charges are quite competitive and represent only a part of the actual costs.  We'll pay the rest.

Estimated Delivery Time

Please allow 1 - 2 weeks for delivery.  Sometimes special circumstances arise and shipping may take a bit longer.  If a situation arises that will delay your order in any way, we will contact you by phone or email.

Estimated Delivery Time = Order Processing + Shipping Preparation + Transit Time.  In other words, the total time it takes to deliver your order is based on the time it takes for credit/debit payment authorization or funds to clear our bank, the time to prepare your order for shipping,  and the carrier's transit time based on zones.  Multi-item orders may be shipped from different warehouses located in different zones.   

Upon Order Delivery

Be sure to inspect your order as soon as you receive it.  Do not destroy or dispose of the packaging in which the goods are supplied until you know that you do not intend to return the goods to BGGE Gift Shop, the carrier, or manufacturer.

Damaged & Lost Shipments

Sometimes situations arise that are out of our control. Among the most common is damaged merchandise through shipping.  The shipper is responsible for your package once they take possession of it. 

BGGE Gift Shop will replace defective merchandise, but is not responsible for any lost, delayed, misdirected or damaged packages incurred during shipping, regardless of how or with whom they are shipped.  However, we will provide you with the information needed to file a claim with that carrier.  NOTE: Established procedures by UPS must be complied with or they may deny your claim.
