Currencies & Payment Options
We offer several currencies and payment
options
that you can use to pay our products. Please take a while to select the best for you among
the ones that we accept.
Do not send any money if we have not confirmed the
availability of your order and the payment method.
Currencies
In this website all our prices are published in a virtual currency that
we call Renaissance Worl-wide Currency (= ƒ = RWC). This is not a legal tender but it is useful
to adapt our vast price list to the continuous variation of the world money
market.
At present you can pay in EUROS (= € = EUR) or in Pounds
Sterling ( = £ = GBP = Great Britain Pounds) but we do not
have fixed exchange rates, neither for these ones nor for other currencies.
You select a currency to pay and we apply the exchange rate at
the moment when we confirm the acceptance of the order. From time to
time we publish in several pages of this websites the rates so that you can
have a rough idea, but those rates are only applicable on the stated date.
We try to maintain updated the exchange rates published in this page, but it
is quite time consuming and not always possible. We will apply automatically
new unpublished rates if they are favourable to you. If they are
unfavourable to you in less than a 5%, we will honour the published rates.
But if they are unfavourable to you in more than a 5% we will contact you
before accepting the order, so you can change your decision. You can contact us
if you need an estimate or pro-forma invoice with fixed price.

Pros and cons of the payment methods
It is very difficult to recommend one method of payment
because it depends on many factors and which is best for one customer can be
worse for other one.
Whichever method you choose will have costs of currency
exchange and remittance of the money. This costs are highly dependable on your
bank, country, etc.
Bank transfer
Sending the money directly to our bank account is, in most cases, the cheapest and quickest system
(please check it because is
highly dependable on the prices that your bank will charge you for this service).
We apply a
1% discount on the total of the invoice in EUROS if everything is
correct and we do not have to intervene in the process.
To avoid any problem, please, give to your bank all our details,
particularly the BIC and IBAN (international format codes of our bank and
account). Explicitly tell your banker or mark sender to pay all the charges
of the transaction so we receive the complete amount. Send us a copy of the
confirmation or receipt of the transfer by fax or email.
Money order
With this system you send the money to our premises instead to
our bank.
Western Union and other companies do not sent to our premises but to
their agents' offices. When you send the money they give you a code of the transaction. Then, you
have to
communicate this code to us and with it we can go to the agent's office to receive the money.
Unfortunately, there is not any known agent nearby, and so this system
turns out to be quite embarrassing for us.
Credit Card
Paying with credit card is quick and easy. They apply a
good exchange rate if you pay in
different currency.
Debiting your Credit Card
We will not debit money from your card until just before your items
are dispatched. On the date of dispatch you will receive an e-mail message
confirming the date, contents and method of your delivery. If you have
ordered several items with different availabilities, unless you request them
to be held and sent together we will debit your card
as each of those items become available and are dispatched.
Is it sure to give the credit card
details?
Every time when you use the credit or debit cards in a
restaurant, petrol station or any shop, you are giving all
the details to the seller (type of card, number, expiration date, card
holder name, etc) and somebody could do a fraudulent use of it. This is the
reason why you should not publish either send the details by
email or through some web pages.
We have developed a completely secure 2-message system that
you can use to pay our products with the card without having to enter your
complete card number on the Internet. We need, of course, all the card
details, but you do not have to send them in one, but in two complementary
messages.
1 - When filling out the Order Form, enter just half of the credit
card number and expiry date . Put some X's where the information is missing. For
example:
Number: XX12-34XX-5X6X-7XX8
Exp date: XX / 06
Send your order by email, post or fax (see our
addresses)
2 - Use preferably a different way to send another message but this time with the
lacking card information (the previous X's): if the first one was sent by email,
the second one can be sent by fax. Include again a copy of the order,
which gives us a way to track your order . In our example:
Number: 12XX-XX34-X5X6-X78X
Exp date: 12 / XX
Card Security Code
The Card Security Code (CSC), is a security feature for credit card
transactions, giving protection against credit card fraud, used to secure
"card not present" transactions occurring over the Internet, by mail, or
over the phone.
The CSC is a 3 or 4 digit value printed on the card, but
not available on the magnetic stripe. Supplying this code in a transaction
is intended to verify that the customer has the card in their physical
possession and is not using a stolen credit card number.
For Visa, MasterCard and Discover Cards
Look at the signature box. You will find either the
entire 16-digit credit card number or just the last 4 digits, followed by the
3-digit CSC.
For American Express Cards
The CSC is always located above the account number on
the face of the card, sometimes on the left side and sometimes on the right.
Note: Some American Express cards have a 4-digit number below the account
number. This is not the CSC.
More security
For security reasons, the card editor can require you to send some more
information (photocopies or scanned images), typically:
1- A copy of both sides of the card
2- A signed copy of the order.
Cash on delivery (COD)
This system has for you the advantage that you do not pay until
you receive the product. But it also has two disadvantages: you have to pay
in cash and it can be quite expensive for some destinations both regarding
the currency exchange rate and the remittance of the money.
The extra costs of the COD system will be charged to you in addition to
the total of the order. In most cases the extra cost will be of about 1%-5% of the price but you
will save quite the same amount in the costs of transferring the money.
We cannot send COD to all destinations. Please, consult.
Cheque
This is probably the most expensive and sluggish method for foreign
customers.
That is why we only accept cheques in euros if drawn on a bank with an
Spanish address or in pounds if drawn on a bank with an English address.
Paying by cheque or postal order causes a delay because we don't begin to
process your order until your payment has been processed and the funds have
cleared.
Don't forget...
- to submit the completed order form on our website
- to print out the completed order form, and attach it to the
cheque.
- to sign your cheque
- to check that the amount in numbers is the same as the amount in writing.
- write your e-mail address clearly on the back of the cheque
- to post your cheque to our address in
Spain (if drawn in euros).
Internet
platforms
With this systems (PayPal, Verysign...), you pay with your credit card, but because of the
encryption of the messages, the advantage for you is that we do not get your
card details and it is very difficult that anybody could get them and do a
fraudulent use of it.
This is a very good system when you buy something to a unknown particular
or company, but you have to assume the charge of an additional intermediary,
usually between 3% to 5% more.
To avoid this extra charge, you can use with us our explained
2-message
system to pay with credit card. It is practically
impossible that anybody else could get your card information.
