Policies & Procedures

Sadely, in today's world of web ordering, fraudulent activity has never been higher.  Sometimes an order that is 100% legitimate will be flagged as possibly fraudulent. Read our policy "REQUIRED INFORMATION WHEN PLACING AN ORDER" to lower the risk of your order being flagged.

What does Griffin's do to protect the card hold and itself in these circumstances?  Should your order be flagged as possibly fraudulent, here are the steps our team follows.

1. Someone from our customer service team will reach out to you via phone  and/or email.

2. Our team will request you to correct any information that seems incorrect or that is causing the conflict.

3. We will require you to provide the credit card #, expiration date, and cvv code of the card you used to complete your transaction.  Our team member will tell you the last 4 digits of the card we show you used, that is the card you will be required to provide. If they do not, then it is not a member of our team.  Additionally, if you would like to make sure it is our company calling, you can hang up and call us back at 614-579-0309.

4.  We will make a small transaction on that card # that you used.

5.  You will need to log into your bank and tell us what that amount we charged.

6. Should you not be able to provide the proper charge or the charge at all, your order will be canceled and you will be required to come into the store directly.

To place an order with our company we require all of the following information in order to properly process your order.  Failure to properly provide this information will likely slow down your delivery process and could flag your order as fraudulent.

PHONE NUMBER: MUST be a valid phone # to contact you.
