Payment Methods & Policies
Payment for orders may be made in several different ways. Payment method is selected during the checkout process. Discussed below are the different types of payments we accept, and specific policies regarding each type of payment.

Credit Card
This is the recommended method for paying for a NOUVEAUTOYS.COM order, and will achieve the best turnaround time for shipment. At this time we accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express & Discover.

We reserve the right to make additional inquiries or to hold shipment of an order if billing address or telephone number provided do not match what is on file with the credit card issuer, or for international cards.

Money Order
We can accept money orders when they are made out in US$ and drawn on a US bank. Many international postal money orders meet this criteria making the money order an inexpensive way to pay for an international order.

We will not ship the order until we have received the money order in the mail.

Making payment by money order can delay shipment of your order for an additional 3-7 days (3-6 weeks for non-U.S./Canada customers).

International customers can purchase international money orders in US$ at many locations including major banks in your home country, as well as large international banking organizations such as Western Union or Citibank.

Personal Check
We can accept personal checks when they are written in US$ and drawn on a US bank.

We will not ship the order until we have received the check in the mail. Further, we reserve the right to hold shipment of an order until that check clears from our bank.

Making payment by personal check can delay shipment of your order for an additional 6-12 business days.

Bad check writers will have their account charged a service fee of $25 per incident. We will submit bad checks multiple times to obtain payment. Note that this can incur service charges with your bank as high as $25 per incident if funds are not available when the check is presented for payment. Writing bad checks can really cost you (not to mention illegal) and is strongly discouraged. Individuals who routinely place orders then do not pay for them are subject to having their account suspended indefinitely.


Q: Do you collect taxes?

A: By the law of the State of California, we are required to collect retail sales tax for any order that ship to a California/USA address.


Q: What are your online security & safety measures?

A: For online security, all on-line transactions are handled with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. So as you enter your credit card number and personal information into the order form, it is transmitted across the Internet in an encrypted form to us.

NOUVEAUTOYS.COM charges the current US Postal or Fedex rates for domestic and international shipments with a small additional charge to cover packaging costs (boxes, envelopes, packing material, etc.) Shipping charges are based on the size/weight of your order, not on the amount of your order.

Domestic (U.S.) orders will be offered any of several different shipping methods depending on order weight/size.Insurance is an optional service at an additional charge. NOUVEAUTOYS.COM will not be held responsible for uninsured domestic shipments that are lost or damaged in transit.
