Helpful Shipping Hints When You Shop Online: Here are a few helpful hints to assist you with using ZipX and shopping online. By following these simple tips, you will ensure you get your orders faster!
1. Please ensure all your shipments include invoices.
2. Contact your bank and add your
New Hyde Park, NY ZipX address to your billing address on your credit card(s). This will ensure that you can purchase items online, since a common security check when making online purchases is a comparison of the address given when placing an order to your credit card billing address
3. Ensure that your supplier includes your ZipX account number on your shipments.
ZipX staff have compiled a comprehensive list of US vendors that our ZipX customers regularly use. See the list in Shopping Links.
