Shipping
Microserve makes every effort to ship orders within the time frame specified on each product, unless the product is on back order. Order processing times are contingent upon payment authorization and do not include evenings, weekends, or holidays. Products are shipped via our courier of choice providing the most economical and safest means of transport. Shipping and handling fees are calculated on weight, dimension and destination.

Orders weighing between 2 - 200 pounds may ship ground. For orders over 200 pounds, Microserve will ship via common carrier truck. Refused or undeliverable shipments will be subject to a restocking fee of 20%, in addition to applicable shipping, transaction and insurance fees.

Microserve does not ship to P.O. boxes.

In some cases, where available you may be able to pick up your order. If you would like to do so, please contact Customer Support to verify.

Note - Shipping rates may vary on Special Orders. Please contact Customer Support to verify.


Tracking your order
You can track every step of your order from placement to delivery to your door!
Sign in with your log in and password and in your MY ACCOUNT page just select the ORDERS button. It will show you all your orders and everything you can do with them
Processing: These are orders that you recently placed and if the status still shows processing besides your order, you may edit the order, add, delete items or cancel the order.
Under Review: These are orders that you have placed that are currently under review by us for various reasons. We will notify you of the reason and resolve with you before the order is processed further.
Approved: These are orders that we have received from you and we have accepted to fulfill. You can be assured that your order now is being processed the same day or within the next 24 hours.
Confirmed: These are orders where your payment has been approved and your products are being collected and packaged to ship to you.

Personal Information Security
We go to great lengths to secure your personal information using the very latest security measures to protect you against the loss, misuse, unauthorized access and alteration of your personal information under our control. We use a combination of data servers to guard your data from access over the Internet and the servers themselves are guarded and secured in a high-level Internet Service Facility. Only authorized tech-supoort staff is allowed access and every access is logged and tracked. All back up processes also follow the same stringent security measures.
From the time you are ready to enter the first letter of your name, you are fully secured with the most powerful data encryption technology, such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), to protect your personal information during data transport. SSL encrypts ordering information such as your name, address and credit card number. Using your credit card in our web store can be safer than using it to order pizza or in a restaurant or at a gas station. Contact us if you have questions.
e-Mail Fraud
We will never request your personal or financial information by sending out unsolicited emails. If you receive any such email purporting to be from our company that asks you to provide confidential information such as your account login, credit card number, or passwords, do not respond and contact us immediately. You should never send confidential personal information by regular email as it is not a secure method of transmission.

What is a Virus
A computer virus is a small program written to alter the way a computer operates, without the permission or knowledge of the user. A virus must meet two criteria: It must execute itself. It will often place its own code in the path of execution of another program. It must replicate itself. For example, it may replace other executable files with a copy of the virus infected file. Viruses can infect desktop computers and network servers alike. Some viruses are programmed to damage the computer by damaging programs, deleting files, or reformatting the hard disk. Others are not designed to do any damage, but simply to replicate themselves and make their presence known by presenting text, video, and audio messages. Even these benign viruses can create problems for the computer user. They typically take up computer memory used by legitimate programs. As a result, they often cause erratic behavior and can result in system crashes. In addition, many viruses are bug-ridden, and these bugs may lead to system crashes and data loss.
When should I upgrade my computer?
Upgrading depends on alot of factors; how old your system is,what condition the system is in,and the type of hardware your computer has. With the rapid change in technology, depending on how much you use your system and what you use it for. If your system is more than five years old it can possibly be upgraded.
What is Spyware?
Spyware is software that obtains information from a user's computer without the user's knowledge or consent. Ever wonder how so many people that you domt know get your E-mail address? You got it. Thats Spyware. If you do not have Spyware removal you should get it.
Why should I back up my data?
Data and time are your most important assets. Once you lose access to data, you lose time. And time is money in business. Fact is that it takes about 30 hours to rebuild 20MB of data, and it can cost a small fortune.
Do you back up data daily? Have you specifically delegated someone to ensure a daily backup of data? Is he or she adequately qualified to do so? Are the backup tapes stored securely off-site, and will these tapes prove reliable if and when you need to restore the data?
Research shows the most businesses do not back up daily, 60% of backups are only partial, 50% of restores are unsuccessful.
The aftermath can be fatal. In general, by day 6 after a major data loss, companies suffer a 25% loss in daily revenue. By the 25th day, it is 40%. 43% of businesses that undergo a critical data loss disaster and that don’t have a data recovery plan, never re-open. You must safeguard your own or anyone else's data, by appropriate precautions against loss, corruption, or authorised disclosure.
The Only Solution – Daily Data Backup You never know what could strike your computer. It could be a virus, electrical surge, mechanical failure, man-made error, or even flood or fire. Therefore, at least in small and medium-sized businesses, backups should run daily. So, if there is data loss, it would only be the information recorded since the last backup that is lost. In such cases, most SMEs would not find it recovery difficult. However, when it comes to financial service organisations, even the loss of one day’s data could prove disabling. Such organisations with demanding data loads must make a greater effort to prevent data loss.

How to Protect Yourself Against Identity Theft
Identity thieves steal your personal information (name, social security numbers, driver's license, etc.) and use it for personal gain. It can happen when hackers break into your computer, but also when you provide personal information through any other communication.
What you can do
  1. In public: Don't give any personal data verbally (driver's license, SSN, e-mail address, etc.). Don't let your credit card be taken out of sight. Question WHY a business needs more personal data.
  2. PC: Limit access to your computer. Install good firewall hardware or software. Ensure secure authentication is turned on. Use good passwords for each user.
  3. Phone: Verify who is calling before providing personal data. Question WHY more personal data is needed. If you didn't expect the call, call them back at the public number. Don't provide data on household members (age, gender, birthdays, schedules, etc.).
  4. E-mail: Be cautious about clicking on links. Telephone a company directly to verify it sent an e-mail message. See Phishing scams and e-mail risks
  5. Web: Verify the website is a reliable business. Before providing personal data, ensure the site has a secure icon and/or " https" in the web address.
PHISHING SCAMS
Scams and phishing usually are e-mail-related, although they can be used with any technology. Telephone and ATM scams still occur, as do online auction scams with false "overpayments". They are all variations of financial-related scams.
"Phishing" is a scam that occurs when you get a forged e-mail message that appears to be from a reputable business or website, but is really sent by criminals. The goal is to get you to click on e-mail links and/or get you to type in personal information, such as passwords, credit card numbers, and Social Security numbers.
What you can do
  1. Know that financial institutions will never send e-mail to ask for personal information or to enroll you in a new security feature.
  2. Call the institution if you are unsure about the legitimacy of a communication that appears to be from them.
  3. Use new versions of web browsers that have some anti-phishing features that alert you before loading a suspicious website.
E-MAIL RISKS
E-mail security risks include attachments; scams; viruses and worms; spyware and adware; and hidden or devious links to bad websites.
What you can do
  1. Learn how to detect e-mail threats
  2. Use secure e-mail connections
  3. Be suspicious of any unsolicited e-mail. When in doubt, delete it. Be cautious about links in e-mail. Going to a bad website can cause malware to be downloaded to your computer.
  4. Scan e-mail attachments for viruses before opening -- and keep your antivirus software updated.
  5. Don't respond to spam. Use good spam-filtering tools.
  6. Realize that websites, online forums, contests, and "free" services (such as newsletters) are all used to collect e-mail addresses.
  7. Guard your privacy. Question why someone wants your personal information.
