Will you mail me the actual cards?
No. PINs and Instructions will be e-mailed to you. If you would like to get the actual
cards, you need to call us with this order. We charge extra for shipping and there is no
sense paying for this, until you are a calling card collector and would like to have our cards as a part of your collection.

How long does it take to receive ordered PINs?
For first time buyers it might take up to 48 hours. We verify each and
every customer to prevent fraud. If you are the first time customer and
want your PINs to be delivered faster, please avoid using free e-mail
addresses like Yahoo and Hotmail. Please provide your daytime contact
phone number, so we contact you faster.
Customers who made purchases on WWW.LDPOST.COM in the past will get their PINs immediately over e-mail.

Is my credit card number safe?
LDPOST.com uses the Secure Sockets Layer and Private Communication Technology security
standards that are supported by Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 or later and other popular
browsers. SSL encodes your personal information (such as your password, address and phone
number, or your credit card number) so that it is available only to you and the financial
services providers with which we process your credit cards transactions. This encryption
makes doing business over the Internet as secure as making a purchase by telephone.

At this time, you will not be able to purchase phone cards with your non-USA credit card
via our web store. You can use a credit card with US billing address when buying calling
cards on the web or you can pay by check or money order for the purchase -follow this link for order form and instructions.

Why
may I see extra charges on my credit card when checking unbilled card activity, immediately after placing an order?
After you place an order with LD Post, your credit-card company first
makes an authorization on your account - in effect, checking to make
sure you have enough available credit in your account to cover your
order. The credit-card company then checks that the address and account
number match those in its records. If there is a match, your purchase
is approved and the authorized amount is immediately billed.
If there is not a match, your credit-card company keeps the authorized amount in
"escrow" for a week, pending further attempts to verify the account and
requested transaction. If the purchase is not verified within a week, the amount in escrow
is returned to your account - and it will no longer appear if you check your credit-card account online.
If you check your credit-card account using your bank's Web-based tools, you will see
amounts being held in escrow AND actual charges being billed. The online listing does not
differentiate between pending and actual charges. This is also true for debit cards - and
unfortunately, money being held in escrow will not be available for other uses while the transaction is pending.
Please be assured that even though you may see them online, these "escrow"
activities DO NOT APPEAR in your final bill. If you see what looks like a duplicate charge
when checking your credit or debit card account online, we suggest you wait for your paper
bill before assuming that you've been double-billed. In almost all cases, you will find only one charge on your final bill.

Is there a volume discount in the web store?
There is 10% discount given automatically on all $100.00 purchases. So, if you place an
order for $100.00 regardless of the card types your are ordering, your credit card will be
charged only $90.00. First time buyers can't get this discount in the WEB STORE as
the maximum order amount for the first time buyers is $20.00. If you are the first time
buyer and want to place order larger then $20.00, call us at 617-489-5952 and we will take your order over the phone.

What is Loyal Customer reward program?
This program is intended to do exactly as it is implied in its title - to reward the loyalty of LDPOST customers.
For every purchase* you made on LDPOST, you earn points. For each dollar spend, you will
earn one point. You need to accumulate 100 point to be eligible for redemption. For each
100 points earned you are eligible to receive one $5 card of your choice with your next
purchase. The redemption offer will appear on your Select Cards screen after your have
accumulated 100 points or more. You do not have to redeem your points at 100-point level.
Points keep accumulating with your purchases, so you can redeem bigger card denominations later.
For example, you have accumulated 500 points. On your select card screen you will see a
menu with choices of cards for redemption - $5, $10, $20 and $50. For 500 points you
can receive in total $25 worth of cards. You need to make a purchase to redeem your rewards.
To view points accumulated, please log on to the web store. It will be displayed at the
bottom of select cards screen. You can also view accumulated points by clicking on History.
* Exceptions: Points can not be accumulated on any volume discount purchases.
This program starts on August 20th of 2002. Only purchases made after August 20th 2002 are
eligible for points accumulation.
