IPC does not accept prepaid credit cards, gift card credit cards, etc. that do not allow us to verify the billing address of the account holder. If customer still uses such cards unbeknownst to IPC the amount authorized may be held by the issuing bank. IPC cannot release such authorized funds!

For new customers:

  • We desire to protect customers from fraudulent transactions; therefore, all orders placed within 45 business days of setting up an account need to be shipped to the address recorded with your credit card company as verified during the credit card authorization during order placement.
  • IPC verifies billing and shipping addresses and contact phone numbers with credit card companies on all new accounts. If the billing or shipping address or phone number on your inkgard.com account differs from your credit card records, your order could be declined. Therefore, please verify that your account information with IPC and your credit card company is correct.
  • Additionally, a first time order over the amount of $500.00 is subject to our verification procedures and may delay the processing of your order.

Hold authorizations incurred due to incorrect address information or card code cannot be released!

As an additional service, IPC's Customer Service Department may contact you within two business days via e-mail and/or phone to verify your order.

Refunds for cancelled orders will be credited back to the original credit card used to charge the order.
