The Orcadian Bookshop's Online Security

The Orcadian Online bookshop offers fully secure site shopping via our secure server!

You may purchase books from The Orcadian Bookshop directly online with Mastercard, Visa, American Express or Switch.

Your name, address, credit card number, and billing information are protected throughout the entire transaction.

When you connect to our secure store, you can verify that you are on a secure server by checking the bottom of your browser (i.e., Netscape or Internet Explorer) - you should see a small "padlock" graphic appear when you are asked for your payment details.

We know of no documented cases of credit card fraud using our shopping system over the Internet.

All credit card numbers are encrypted by our software when the order is placed using military-strength 128 bit encryption. Details are only decrypted after they reach our ordering computer. They are not held in accessible or clear text on any web site.

Using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption, the details you enter with an order can only be decoded by The Orcadian Bookshop.

Phone/Fax/Mail Orders

If you do not wish to make credit card purchases directly through our secure bookshop, please note that we do accept phone, fax, or mail orders.

These can be phoned, faxed or posted to us. Our contact details are here.
