FAQs
 

Can I edit my order? Unfortunately, you cannot add new items to your current order after it has been placed. A separate order will have to be placed through Iowa Computing. How can I cancel my order? To cancel an order, or an item from your order,  you must send us an email to  orders@iowacomputing.net. If you want to cancel your order, you must do so before the items are in process by our system or shipped (Tracking Number Issued) from our warehouse. What happens if I cancel my order? If you have decided to cancel your order, the amount paid to Iowa Computing will be completely reimbursed in the form of  an internal credit (item price + shipping) in the 3-5 business days following your cancellation. Why are certain items not available right away? Our catalog contains more than 4,000 items which obviously does not allow us to have everything in stock at once. If part of your order must come from one of our suppliers, a few days must be added to our average delivery time (some of our products are ordered from international suppliers which can take a little more time). We therefore ship these items to you a few days later. How can I know if my order has been shipped? An email alert is sent to you as soon as your package is shipped. You can also track your order status by clicking your conformation What is your return policy on Cell Phones And Cells Phone Accessories? This policy is applicable ONLY to the return of cell phones and cell phone accessories. This policy will not apply to any other merchandise in the product catalogue provided to you (the customer) by Iowa Computing, Inc. For the policy on all other merchandise, please refer to section 1 on the info page   Without exception, no item may be returned without prior authorization in the form of an RMA number provided by customer service at Iowa Computing, Inc.  Important Notice: In the case of a return without prior authorization from Iowa Computing, Inc: the item in question will either be shipped back to the customer at their expense, or at the customer’s request Iowa Computing may elect to accept the item back with a restocking fee of 50% of the total merchandise value.   DOA cell phones: For the return of any Dead On Arrival cell phone Iowa Computing, Inc. must be notified within 7 business days of the receipt of the merchandise. This type of return may come back only for exchange without exception.   All shipping and handling fees are non-refundable with an exception where Iowa Computing has made an error by shipping and incorrect item to the customer. In this case, customers must contact Iowa Computing to obtain a return label or request merchandise pick up. Once item is returned back to the warehouse a correct replacement unit will be shipped out or store credit issued for the full amount of the order if the correct unit is unavailable. Iowa Computing must be informed of the receipt of incorrect merchandise within a week of the delivery. In addition the incorrect item must remain in its complete original condition, be unused, and at the point of return contain all of the items originally included in the shipment pertaining to all accessories protective coverings and packing materials.   Unwanted items will be subject to a restocking fee of 25% and must be in their original condition and appear unused. All protective covering and accessories must also be included in the original packaging and be in original condition never having been removed.   Refused Delivery: Returns falling under this category will be treated like unwanted returns and will consequently incur a restocking fee of 25% . The customer will also be responsible for the return shipping cost incurred by the action of refusing the delivery. Consequently, a store credit will be issued less 25% restocking fee of the value of the merchandise and less shipping and handling fees both ways.   Please note: The cell phones represented on iowacomputing.net are international models and will hold no manufacturer warranty. Select models may be taken to a nearby manufacturer service center to be serviced at the recipient’s expense.   If the return has been received to our warehouse after 30 days from the original day of the receipt of the merchandise, it will be sent to the Customer at their expense.   All reimbursements are done in the form of a company credit which can be used towards new orders. Customers may request a refund back to the credit card in which case a 5% credit card processing fee will be deducted from the total amount of the refund.  Refunds may take 3 to 5 business days to post back to the credit card. Why does the availability say the item "usually ships in 2-3 business days"? The 2-3 days indicate the shipping delay, meaning the delay between the time you place your order and the time the items are shipped to you.. Therefore, it does not represent the total time it takes to get your order.
