I am trying to pay with a visa/mastercard gift card, but it was declined. Can you help?
Just like most other online stores, we have security settings in place to prevent online credit card fraud. These settings include a verification of the name and address on file with the financial institution that issued the card.
To prevent your gift card from being rejected while shopping online, you must contact the merchant or financial institution that issued your gift card and add your name and address to the card. Oftentimes this is called “registering” your gift card.
Once you “register” your gift card, you will be able to use it online just like any other credit card.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we do ship internationally.

Customs, duties, and other fees.
We try to do our best for our international friends. We ship with no markup
. However, you may encounter fees from the shipping agent you select because of "Entrance Fees" and "Brokerage Fees." We have no control over these fees and they will change from country to country.
If you are concerned about any additional fees, please check with your local customs office and your selected shipping courier. Fees incurred are the customer's responsibility. If you refuse your shipment or if your package was not claimed for any reason, your shipping fees cannot be refunded.
Note: We have gotten a bit of feedback from customers saying that USPS was not as expensive as UPS, if there was an additional expense at all. This is particularly true with our Canadian clients.
Also, beyond courier paperwork fees, when you buy goods from another country, your country may want you to pay a "duty" or "customs" fee. Please check with your country's customs office to determine if you will be charged these fees.
Doctored Locks is not responsible for any tariff, duty, customs or brokerage fee, or any other cost levied against packages while in transit.
I think my package may be lost. What should I do?
Lost packages are not common, but they do happen. If you believe that your package has become lost please follow these steps:
1. Check your order status on the website.
2. Your order may be delayed if we are waiting for further instructions.
3. The Order Status will give you the parcel information.
4. Check the parcel's shipment date. Please allow adequate transit time. It may have not had sufficient time to reach you.
If you are an international customer, your parcel may have been delayed at customs or an entry port.
Please contact your local agency to ensure that they are not holding your parcel.
If all of the above do not answer your question, give us a call or email us and we will help research your parcel/order.
If you have not received your order within four weeks please contact us immediately. Claims processes are time sensitive.
We need to ensure that if we need to file a claim for lost merchandise we do not breach your selected courier's claim placement deadline. If the courier's deadline has been breached you will not be eligible for a refund.
