SPECIAL ORDERS

If Customer requests a non-stock Product, such request must be made in writing via the Special Order Merchandise Agreement, accompanied by a fifty percent (50%) deposit, paid by Customer’s pre-approved credit card. Upon receipt of such funds, Petra will place the order with the Vendor.
