Absolutely. We encrypt all personal information such as your credit card number when you transmit data to our website and when we transmit data to you. We use SSL security. When your web browser is using SSL security, you will notice a solid key or closed padlock in your browser window.

If we are shipping your order to an address in Ohio (where we are located), we must collect state sales tax of 6.75% for the merchandise value. This will be calculated automatically on the order confirmation page. If you are registered with the state as a business and have an exemption certificate on file with us, the sales tax will be removed from your order when it is processed.

When orders are sent to another country, local customs officials will determine the amount of any customs or import duties you may owe. Customs policies vary widely from country to country, and we have no control over these charges. Please contact your local customs office for further information.

Currency conversion tables are updated every 2 hours. However, the amount charged will be the conversion rate at the time your credit card is billed.

Select your preferred currency in the drop-down menu in your account, on the order form, and on product pages. You will see all prices and charges converted to your currency. If you have a stewmac.com account, clicking any of the currencies will lock that currency for future sessions.
