Electronic Check Policy

Due to the time required for ACH "Electronic Check" settlement processing there is usually a delay of one full business day (but sometimes two or three) for all purchases made via Electronic check. Orders placed using the "Electronic Check" payment service will not be processed until the settlement occurs.
