PURCHASING A SIM SAMURAI PRODUCT

SimSamurai.net is a one man "flight sim operations center" based out of San Diego California, USA.  I do not have a typical shopping cart checkout feature only because this website sells around 5-10 items per week.  Therefore, until SimSamurai becomes a rock star of the flight sim world I will give you, the valued customer, a personal sales experience with me, your humble sim master!

So, instead  of a cart checkout ... I ACCEPT PAYPAL!  www.paypal.com   (or certified money order / cashier check)

Product Discounts and Specials
-- Any product purchases on your first order totaling over $70.00 is discounted 10%.  Now that's a great deal!

-- Purchase Two (2) items or more and get the amazing 
GlobeTrekker GT-1000 absolutely free!

*** NOTE !  If you want to buy several items at once you are better off doing so now as this saves you on ship costs down the road!


Purchasing Guideline

Payment Option Details
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Payment Option  # 1 -- PayPal (read if you are unfamiliar with PayPal or need to sign up)

STEP # 1 - PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Paypal ( www.paypal.com ) is the easiest way for us to make a secure online transaction and if you have ever bought anything off of Ebay chances are you already have a PayPal account.  If you do not have a Paypal account please see the second payment method and or go to Paypal to sign up for an account.  It is fast, easy to do, and is totally secure. SimSamurai has used PayPal for over 10 years and most people you know have too!  During registration you will have to link PayPal to your actual bank account and or a credit card.  Paypal does not cost you any fee to register nor any cost to make an online purchase and Paypal only charges credit card fees to the seller (us) and not you.  Once your PayPal registration is complete you can send money to any people (who also accept Paypal) and can then likewise invoice any other people who use Paypal too.

Isn't e-commerce grand! ...Wave of the future, wave of the future...future! (hopefully you saw the movie!)


 MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT WILL RECEIVE E-CASH OR CREDIT CARD PAYMENT. 

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 addittion 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.  I am a small flight sim business...not Walmart. This is assumably because SimSamurai is out busy flying aircraft and is not always busy with selling flight 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 your card has been properly linked to your own private PayPal account because you can then quickly pay us directly by using the "Send Money" link and posting funds to the email address of : simsamurai@earthlink.net.  Otherwise, if desired, we can also create and send you an invoice via PayPal.  If using the "Send Money" option please just make sure you know your final checkout total (items and shipping) 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 COST / SHIP COST CHART at the bottom left of this page.  Calculate the total costs based on the schedule and then if need be refer back to PART A  - Purchasing Guideline above send an email to 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 PayPal 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 always combine shipment costs with multiple items to save you money.

Payment Option # 2 -- Personal Check or Certified Money Order via Postal 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.  I understand that internet service is often dodgy or non-existent on the moon or remote islands and that people in such far out places need flight simulators just as bad as the rest of the world so this is totally reasonable!  While this payment method is slower ...it still works and is always 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
If you already know the items that you want to purchase simply view the ITEM COST / SHIP COST CHART at the bottom left of this page.  Calculate the total costs based on the schedule and then using the PART A  - Purchasing Guideline above send an email to orders@simsamurai.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 Check  / Money Order 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.  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 real 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.


Item Shipment Details

Once an e-commerce payment is verified, Paypal sends us a completed payment notice, or after any check or money order has cleared into my account, we will then mail out your item(s) within 5 days.  After this 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 discussed earlier. We typically mail all weekly sales items on the following Monday after the weeks total invoices are in.  This is also because less trips to the post office means less air pollution!

We typically use UPS for all USA orders and use United States Postal Air Mail (USPS) for all foreign buyers.  UPS provides a tracking number. USPS only provides a receipt.  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 your 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 kits are made to order and thus will be hand crafted for approximately 30 days from date of purchase. However, we do typically make them 3 at a time so feel free to 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 address that you provide and know that we write very clearly on all packaging! SO ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU PROVIDE YOUR EXACT AND CURRENT MAILING ADDRESS. SOME PEOPLE FORGET TO UPDATE THIS IN PAYPAL AFTER HAVING MOVED!

If you are purchasing a 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 if qualified.  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.

NOTESimSamurai always combines shipping on multiple items to save you money!  Typical charges for flat rate shipping are $5, $10, $15, $20, or $25. We will choose a fee that is most appropriate to your order and your location in the world!

For example if you order the UGTAFS Manual and DIY prints and live in the US the combined ship fee will be $15. If you live in the UK the combined total for the UGTAFS and Blueprints is $25.00.  For customers in Germany, France, Italy, or Australia the combined shipping cost of UGTAFS manual and a DIY blueprints package is $35.00 -- Sorry...the cost of JET A fuel is real bummer! All products are however worth it!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PURCHASE !!!


DELIVERY TIMES:
We usually ship out all items at the beginning of the following week. Hence if you order an item on a Wednesday which requires shipment then it will be sent out the following Monday.  Please expect 7-10 days delivery time for mailed items such as the Ultimate Sim Guide or D-I-Y Sim Station Blueprints / D-I-Y manual pack.

Emailed items such as the GT-1000 or In-Flight Handbook will typically be sent within 24 hours of payment confirmation.  If you are receiving the GT-1000 for free in conjunction with purchase of another item the GT-1000 will be sent via email within a day or two after the payment clears for the primary item.

FREIGHT DELIVERY:

For the XS-1 RTA Flight Simulator Station expect a delivery date of 30 days after payment clears. We do make 3-5 stations in advance so depending on the "stock quantities on hand" you may receive the cockpit sooner than 30 days or up to 30 days. Otherwise fabrication and proper packaging typically takes two weeks and then you can expect a 7-14 day delivery time once sent out hence a total 30 day window from date of your order to date of receipt.

OVERSEAS / FOREIGN BUYERS:
We will ship world-wide provided you, the buyer, are agreeing to pay full shipment costs which can and will be pre-determined via email prior to your payment.

To calculate shipment costs outside of the contiguous lower 48 USA states please send inquiry via email to  orders@simsamurai.net   with what product or products you wish to buy and make sure to specify your exact shipping address including Country, City and Postal Code. We will typically have a complete shipping quote to you within 48 hours after which you can then decide if you would like for us to send you an invoice for the sale so as to proceed with payment(s).

Make sure you email your mailing address exactly how it should appear to your countries postal mail carrierThis includes all proper line separations!

R.T.A .SIM STATION DOWN PAYMENTS:

For all RTA Sim Cockpits we require a fully refundable down payment of 1/2 (50%) of the total amount (Item + shipping) and will prepare the item for shipping but will not ship the item until the second and or final payment has been made. If you require proof that the item is ready to be shipped this can be provided to you via several methods but rest assured that your satisfaction is our goal and SimSamurai honors all large ticket items such as an RTA kit.

All deposits will be held in escrow for 30 days. If you decide you do not want the RTA kit within 30 days from posting date of deposit (via PayPal or otherwise) we will refund your deposit (less 25% restock fee) and keep the RTA kit to sell to another customer.

Because these kits are most often cut on demand the deposit helps serve as an earnest contract between us. If you are interested in an RTA kit but would rather purchase one fully outright when available please send an email to discuss your serious purchase inquiry. I want to sell products so I will always be flexible towards individual customer needs.
