Money Order vs. Credit Card Payments

Wednesday, 2010-01-20

For U.S. customers who are unable to use PayPal or credit card to purchase, we are happy to accept money orders (as long as they’re in USD and drawn on a U.S. bank or other financial institution).

For some buyers though, they simply prefer money order because of a misinformed notion that it is safer.

THE TRUTH IS, credit cards and PayPal offer buyers security from fraudulent sellers.  These payment methods are far superior because they are SAFER, FASTER, MORE CONVENIENT and LESS EXPENSIVE.

You can learn more about secure online shopping at PrivacyRights.org.

As you might know, eBay and other sites have stopped allowing sellers to accept money orders, or at least advertise that they accept them, because they are very risky for the buyer.

ANOTHER PRACTICAL ALTERNATIVE for safe online purchasing is getting a  Visa or MasterCard prepaid card or gift card.  You can buy these cards with cash at your local store, then use them just like ordinary credit cards for online or other transactions.


SouthGain Now Taking Telephone, Skype and Fax Orders!

Monday, 2009-02-02

In response to customer demand, SouthGain is pleased to announce that we are now accepting orders via telephone, Skype and even fax.  We can now process directly your credit card payments—Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express.

Of course, ordering from our on-line store (www.SouthGain.com) is still best for maximum accuracy and convenience.  But if you prefer to contact us directly and pay with your credit card, here are your options:

Telephone:  888-599-7373 (toll-free in the U.S.)
Telephone:  +1-502-410-2744 (from anywhere)
Fax:  +1-502-239-7766
Skype call: 
southgain
Skype chat (IM):  timtotten

Unfortunately, we aren’t big enough (yet!) to hire a bank of operators to take your calls, and our office hours are pretty inconsistent, to say the least.  But one of us is usually in the office at least 10-12 hours a day, even on weekends.  If we’re around, we’d be glad to take your order.  If you miss us, just leave a message to let us know a convenient time when we should call back.
