Yes, we ship to P.O. Boxes. However, some items have ship restrictions and will require a physical ship to address. This includes items that are too large and/or too heavy to ship small parcel ship. These items have to be shipped with an alternative freight carrier such as UPS. In these cases P.O. Boxes are not an option because we cannot offer US Mail shipping, only UPS Ground Shipping.

Payment

We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
Advanced-Online charges a credit card after your order has shipped. However, you will see a pending transaction or authorization when you place your order. The transaction will reserve the funds until your order has shipped then your credit card will be charged.
A credit card could be declined for various reasons including but not limited to: invalid credit card number, incorrect credit card bill to address and zip code, incorrect expiration date or insufficient available balance. Please retry entering your information or contact your bank for specific reasons. We do not accept Prepaid credit cards.
When you place an order online your credit card company will create an authorization/pending transaction. If you have tried multiple times to place an order, an authorization/pending transaction will be created each time. Pending transactions are not charges. It simply means your bank has placed a temporary hold on your funds for the attempted transaction. The pending transaction will drop off when your order has shipped and your credit card is charged or when your bank releases the hold, generally 3-5 business days after your credit card is rejected or order is not completed.

Please note Advanced-Online cannot release a pending charge; only your financial institution can remove the hold. Please call your financial institution directly with questions related to pending charges.
Sales taxes are collected and remitted to the appropriate state agencies based upon the shipment/delivery address of your order.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the calculation of sales tax on your transaction, please reach out to our customer service team.
