I looked at my credit card account online, and it looks like I was charged twice for the same order. Why is this?
- A: You cannot be charged twice for the same order on the website. What you are seeing is the “approved”, which usually disappears within 24 hours, and is not actually a charge.

I ordered four books but was only charged for three. What happened to the fourth book?

If I need to return a book, what can I do?
