Frequently asked questions (FAQ's)

Is ordering online safe?

When you complete your purchase your personal information, including credit card details, is protected by industry standard SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology. This encrypts all data transfers between your browser and our server. If you are concerned we will accept telephone orders and faxed orders. To achieve the most efficient online ordering, select 'invoice with order' in payment methods and proceed to the checkout. We will then email the order confirmation and you can either phone with your credit card details or send a cheque made payable to Porreda Ltd. Once the link is established all communication between our Server and your browser will remain confidential. We take your payment in our office and do not use an external payment system.
