You may choose to bypass this feature, but you may be required to call our order verification hotline to your order.

Why is my order being held when the bank shows the charge was approved?
When you place an order we will attempt to obtain an authorization from your bank for the amount of your order, this authorization is not a charge rather it is an approval from your bank that funds are available. When an authorization is obtained the funds authorized are held and not available for other use but are not removed from your account until the authorization is turned into a charge. The authorization does not become a charge until your order passes all fraud protection procedures and until your order is shipped. In the unlikely event you cancel your order before it ships, the authorization hold will automatically drop (within you bank’s terms) and it will never become a charge.

What is the return policy for CPUs? How does the CPU return policy work?
Please note that all processors may be returned only for defective exchange. You must purchase a compatible heatsink and fan on the same order as the processor in order to preserve your warranty or exchange privilege. We are not able to accept returns for refunds on processorsunder any circumstances. All processors will be inspected and tested upon return and any damage caused by poor packaging, overclocking, or other tampering with the processor will be cause for the return to be refused, and exchange denied. Additional CPU Warranty TermsAll defective and DOA CPUs will be replaced upon return.Global Computer will not cross-ship replacement CPUs.Physically damaged CPUs cannot be returned to Global Computer, including physical damage due to improper installation. Announcing a CPU as defective and requesting a Refund does not automatically waive the restocking fee. Defective CPUs will be replaced, not refunded. Physical damage to any product will void the product's warranty. Improper installation of CPU fans and/or improper clocking may cause CPUs to chip. CPUs that are chipped, burnt or have bent pins are considered physically damaged and cannot be returned for refund or replacement. Physical damage includes but is not limited to improper handling and/or any other type of damage sustained by irregular usage.Global Computer encounters bent pins regularly when inspecting physically damaged CPUs. Forcing a processor into position will not solve an installation problem and may result in applicable warranty coverage being voided. Because Intel and AMD do not accept physically damaged processors, Global Computer will return any physically damaged CPU to you at your expense.

OEM products are best-suited for system builders who don't require documentation or bundled accessories. OEM software is delivered in a generic sleeve or container with little to no documentation or instructions. Because the serial number is exposed, OEM software cannot be refunded.

Why are the shipping dimensions indicated on your site different from what the manufacturer indicates?
The shipping dimensions from the manufacturer are for new product in original packaging. However certain products are refurbished products. The refurbisher does not use original packaging after processing rather uses packaging that accommodates a variety of product types through use of a larger box with different types of inserts. Since the box is bigger it triggers dimensional weights.
Determine Dimensional Weight: Formula L x W x H/225
For UPS Ground Shipments: If the cubic size of the package is 5,184 or larger, divide the cubic size by 225 to determine dimensional weight in pounds. If the cubic size is less than 5,184, use the actual weight of the package.
For UPS Air Shipments: Divide the cubic size by 225 to determine dimensional weight in pounds. Any fraction of a pound will be calculated at the next highest rate.
Determine Billable Weight: Compare each package's actual weight to its dimensional weight. The larger of the two weights is the billable weight and should be used to calculate the rate.
If you have a multiple-package shipment, add the cubic sizes for all of the packages together. The total is the cubic size of your shipment.

What is Dimensional weight? How is weight calculated?
What is Dimensional weight?
For standard size packages carriers use actual shipping weight to determine the billable weight. For oversize packages carriers use Dimensional weight to determine billable weight. Dimensional weight considers the amount of space a package occupies in relation to its actual weight, to determine billable weight. To determine if dimensional weight applies to your shipment you need to determine cubic size.
How To Measure the Cubic Size of Your Package Formula L x W x H:
Calculate the cubic size of your package by multiplying the height in inches, by the length in inches, by the width in inches. Round each measurement to the nearest whole inch. The resulting total is the cubic size of your package.
Determine Dimensional Weight: Formula L x W x H/225:
For UPS Ground Shipments: If the cubic size of the package is 5,184 or larger, divide the cubic size by 225 to determine dimensional weight in pounds. If the cubic size is less than 5,184, use the actual weight of the package.
For UPS Air Shipments: Divide the cubic size by 225 to determine dimensional weight in pounds. Any fraction of a pound will be calculated at the next highest rate.
Determine Billable Weight: Compare each package's actual weight to its dimensional weight. The larger of the two weights is the billable weight and should be used to calculate the rate.
