2. How much will shipping cost?

Current shipping rates can be determined online at http://www.dataq.com/sales/shippingcost.html.

3. How do I know that my personal and credit card information will be safe?

Placing your order online is the best way to ensure your personal information is protected. You can verify that our site is secure by clicking on our Thawte Security logo at the bottom of all the DATAQ Online Store pages. When you place your order online, it is processed directly through VeriSign, so no one will have access to your account information.

4. How will my order be shipped and how long will it take to ship?

Your order will be shipped UPS unless otherwise specified. You can select between UPS Ground, 2nd Day Air, and Overnight when you place your order. Orders placed outside the United States can also choose DHL Shipping.

When you order one of our starter kits online before 3 PM Eastern Time it is fast-tracked to ship that same day (unless indicated otherwise on our website). Same day delivery is for Continental US orders only and does not apply to orders that include DI-5B or DI-8B modules. All other products normally ship within one week. You will be notified if your product is out of stock or delayed.

5. Where can I get my tracking number?

When you order one of our starter kits, an Invoice with a tracking number will be emailed to the billing address email provided when your order ships out. For all other products, a tracking number will be emailed to you from UPS when your order ships. If you need your tracking number or a separate invoice, contact Customer Support.

6. What methods of payment are accepted?

We accept Visa, MasterCard, and American Express credit cards. PayPal is also accepted, and when you choose the PayPal option you will be sent directly to the PayPal website to make your payment during the checkout process.

7. How can I get a confirmation for my order?

When you place an order in the DATAQ Online Store you will instantly receive an email confirmation when the checkout process is complete. The DATAQ Order Number on the confirmation is the best way to reference your order if you need help.

8. Can I order online with a Purchase Order Number?

Yes. In order to order online using a Purchase Order Number for payment, you must first create a customer account and then be approved by DATAQ. The approval process is quick and easy, click here to learn more.

9. How can I add special instructions to my order without having to call DATAQ?

During the checkout process there is a place to enter any special instructions you have regarding your order. This is a good place to enter a Purchase Order Reference or any other notes that you would like us to be aware of when we ship your order.
