Q: Can I pay cash/What is the method of payment?
A: Paying with PayPal:
With PayPal, you can send payment quickly and securely online.
Through PayPal, you can pay with credit card, debit card, or a valid bank account.
Once your order is submitted, you will be redirected to PayPal's site where you could make the payment. Payment is traceable. You can trace the status of your payment using your PayPal account.Payment does not require you to use your credit card online (you can transfer directly from your bank account). Vandenbergprophotography.com does not store your credit card number (it is safely encrypted through PayPal's server), which limits the risk of unauthorized use.
When you place an order with Paypal you will be redirected to the PayPal payment page, where you can confirm your payment by logging in with your PayPal username and password.
Paying with credit cards:
You may still check out even without a PayPal account. To do so, please click on "Checkout" and you’ll be redirected to a secure page where you can enter your credit card information.
Unfortunately, cash-on-delivery payments are not accepted for security reasons. All payment information is confidential and secure.

checking, and it is on its 2nd quality check.
- Some items are out of stock temporarily.

Customs and taxation policies vary widely from country to country. You should check your local custom laws, and inform us about your requirement after ordering;
When customs clearance procedures are required, it will cause delay beyond our original delivery estimates time. Additional charges for taxes or customs clearance must be paid by the recipient.

Q: I just tracked my order but it doesn’t show. What happened?
