Can we engrave items
Yes, however due to the large number of items we carry from many different manufacturers we are not able to engrave all items. Please see the specific item's page to see if we offer engraving on it. If we do, a box to enter the engraving will be just above the add to cart button and it will be noted that we provide engraving for the item in the description.

Why Won't My Order Go Through?
If you keep getting sent back to the payment page during checkout it is do to a problem with your billing address and/or credit card #.
Here is how to fix that:
1. Our system requires that your address & zip code you submit on the "billing" page during checkout match the address your credit card company has on file and that your credit card numbers are correct.
2. An error message is generated and printed at the top of the billing page when this happens to tell you what exactly caused the error.
3. Verify that the address listed near the top of the billing page matches the address on file with your credit card company exactly. If you have recently moved it may be your old address that the card is listed under or your new address. It is generally the address your credit card bill is sent to. If you have any doubt as to the proper address call your credit card company at the number listed on the back to verify they have your correct address on file.
4. Verify you are correctly typing in your credit card number, expiration date, and CVV code (there is a popup you can click on the billing page that visually shows what and where the CVV is if you do not know).
5. If everything is correct hit "Continue" to proceed to the Checkout Confirmation page and then hit "Continue" once more to complete your order. Your order should have now gone through and it should be complete, if you are redirected again to the payment page see step 6 below.
6. If it did not go through you will be redirected to the billing page again. Assuming you have enough credit available on your card, you can correct the errors listed at the near to top of the page and try again or you can Contact Us here for further assistance and we will be happy to help. However we do not suggest you try more than 3 times in one day.
The first reason is for some banks trying the same transaction over and over tiggers them to lockdown your card, then you have to call the number on the back of your card to unlock it.
The second reason is because each time you try to run a card it causes an "authorization" that holds the amount of the sale in your account until midnight. Our system releases this hold if the transaction did not go through automatically at midnight, and then your bank is signaled to release the funds. Your bank determines how long they will hold your funds, usually it is only a few hours but some banks hold this for a couple of days. This is very similar to the hold a gas station puts on your card when pumping gas, or a hotel when you book a room. It is how the banking system works and we do not have control over it. If you have any further questions feel free to Contact Us. Please Note: There is no way for us to release "authorizations" caused by mistypes or billing address errors quicker, it is an automated process and completely controlled by your bank after it is released at midnight.

Are There Any Home Wet Bar Coupon Codes I Can Have?
First, you should know we don't play games with our prices, like some other companies do (they mark up the products so they can give you a discount coupon code or promo code to make their products seem lower priced). We feel that's dishonest, so we always mark our products at low, competitive prices from day one so you never have to worry if you're getting the best price. That being said, we do have special sales from time to time, free shipping weekends about twice a year, promotional contests, and free giveaways throughout the year. The best way to find out about these special sales and coupons is to join our newsletter, join our facebook page, or to frequently check our coupon codes and promotions page.
