don't even have to bring a calculator
because
everything is calculated for you.

experience right to your fingertips.
No matter where you are in the

those precious needed items. Through
E-mail
correspondence, a customer service
representative
will reply speedily to your specific
questions and needs- receiving one on

coffee or tea and browse at your own
pace.

Is It Safe To Shop On The Internet?
This depends on the company you are
ordering with
and the server that hosts their web site. When you
shop over the Internet, it is
important to shop on a SECURE SERVER. The site you are shopping at should
tell you whether or not the site is secure.
There should also be an icon on the browser you are
using that lights up and signals to you that the
order form is in fact secure. Any
information, such
as credit card numbers, social security numbers,
driver's license, address, etc.
processed through a
non-secure server can in fact be viewed by an uninvited third party. We
urge all our customers to
be wise while shopping online. If
you are shopping
on a secure server you can trust your information is
protected.
What about E-mail?
It is NOT safe to send any delicate
information via E-mail unless you can encrypt.

Is It Safe To Shop Online With The Joy Shoppe?
YES! THE JOY
SHOPPE IS A SECURE SHOPPING SITE!
We take every precaution to ensure that you
will be safe while shopping online with The Joy Shoppe. The shopping cart
page that retrieves your specified

as the order form

Shoppe products you view online to
be on a secure
server because
they are only there for browsing the isles. However, all information sent
to the receiving site (such as your order and payment) is handled by a
secure server. Credit card numbers are either processed automatically
online through a secure gateway or manually by customer service.
If manually, The Joy Shoppe retrieves your information off the secure
database and then process credit
cards at our physical location through
an electronic terminal.

service preferences such as,
gender, age, religious affiliation,
