If you want to pay by credit card then your Paypal account must be set up by having your credit card linked to your PayPal account in additon to linking PayPal with your regular bank account. I can only accept credit card payments through PayPal and not any other method because we are not a typical business which requires the need for alot of daily credit transactions. This is assumably because SimSamurai is out busy flying aircraft and is not always busy with selling simulator products. So again, we do accept credit payments but only when your credit card has been linked through your PayPal account. So,... if you want to pay by credit card please make sure it is linked to your PayPal account because you can then pay us directly by using the "Send Money" link and posting funds to the email address of : simsamurai@earthlink.net. Otherwise we will create and send you an invoice via PayPal. Just make sure you know your final total before using the "Send Money" option!
STEP # 2 - PAYMENT TRANSACTION
If you already know the items that you want to purchase simply view the item / product cost and shipping cost schedule at the bottom left of this page. Calculate the total costs based on the schecdule and then using the PART A - Purchasing Guideline above send an email to SimSamurai@earthlink.net to confirm the cost of your order. We will verify the cost within 24 hours and will then tell you that you are clear to make payment or if you would like to be invoiced instead then please make note of that in your email. Either method works!
A purchase email example to Sim Samurai would be as follows;
" Hi Sim, I would like to become a new member of the Sim Samurai flight club by purchasing the following items ;"......Then simply follow along with the original instructions under the Part A Purchasing Guideline and list EACH item on its own separate line along with the amount of each item found from the products list at the bottom left of this page.
Do not forget to include any shipping costs or fees if specified below. Depending on the cost of each item we will then send you a confirmation email with the total invoice for the items and will instruct you to look for the PAYMENT INVOICE from Paypal in your email. Once created this will be a fast process and you can pay instantly once the Paypal invoice arrives in your e-mailbox. Also know that we do our best to only charge actual shipping costs based on your location and will always combine shipment costs with multiple items to save you money.
PAYMENT METHOD # 2 -- CHECK / CASHIERS CHECK VIA "SNAIL" MAIL
STEP # 1 - INSTRUCTIONS
If you live on the moon or a deserted island with an airstrip that provides mail service then you can option to send a check or bank certified money order instead of using the e-commerce route as we understand that internet service is often dodgy or non-existant on the moon or remote islands. While this method is certainly slower ...it still works and is acceptable to us at SimSamurai.net. Just know that all checks or money orders will be verified for authenticity and must be cleared into our bank before any product will be mailed out.
STEP # 2 - PAYMENT TRANSACTION

Calculate the total costs based on the schecdule and then using the PART A - Purchasing Guideline above send an email to SimSamurai@earthlink.net to confirm the cost of your order. We will verify the cost and tell you that you are clear to make payment or if you would like to be invoiced instead then please make note of that in your email. Again you can pay once a total is confirmed or we can send a Paypal payment request.
A purchase email example to Sim Samurai would be as follows;

Please take your best guess for the shipping and we will correct it if need be!
Do not forget to include any shipping costs or fees if specified below. Depending on the cost of each item we will then send you a confirmation email with the total invoice for the items and will instruct you to include a specific amount on the check or bank certified money order. Lastly, we will provide you with a name and post office mailing address in San Diego California. Once the payment is received we will send you an email stating that payment was received and deposited in our bank. Once the payment has cleared (expect 5-7 business days from receipt if a check) we will then send you the item(s) once the funds have cleared. Again, we assume this is fair, reasonable, and honest for both parties. Lastly, know that we do our best to only charge actual shipping costs based on your location and will always combine shipment costs with multiple items to save you money.
PART B - Item(s) Shipment Details
Once payment is verified, Paypal will send us a completed payment notice, or after any check or money order has cleared into my account, we will then mail out the materials within 5 days. After product is mailed mailing please expect a 5-10 day delivery time if within the USA or 10-14 days if you live in Europe or up to 30 days if you live on the moon or a deserted island. We typically mail all weekly sales items on the following Monday after the weeks invoices are in.
We typically use UPS for all USA orders and I use United States Postal Air Mail for all foreign buyers. UPS provides a tracking number. USPS only provides a reciept. If you are in a foreign country (non USA) then do know that you may have to call your customs office to pick up items that have been shipped from outside your country and or you may have to pay a small fee to yours customs office. While we do list our products as "documents" on custom forms various countries may still require your signature for delivery or pick-up. Please do not ask us how customs work in your own country!
If you are a foreign customer outside of the US please expect 10-14 days for overseas delivery. If you are purchasing a sim station RTA kit please expect 45 days delivery time as the RTA version is made to order and thus will be hand crafted for approximately 30 days from date of purchase. However, we do make them 3 at a time so you can also inquire about in stock availability!
If you want a tracking number for your item(s) (such as from UPS) please let us know via email. Please include your name in the email and we will send you your tracking number! Do know that we will use the exact adress that you provide and know that we write very clearly on all packaging!
If you are purchasing an XS-1 flight sim station RTA kit please expect 30 days delivery time. ( each are cut on demand as they are not mass produced )
Once payment is verified we will immediately send you the free GLOBETREKKER GT-1000 via email. This will contain the GT-1000 and .PDF files which contain the supplemental documents ! If however you are purchasing a GT-1000 by itself then expect it to be emailed within 12-24 hours after your payment is made.
