FAQ

During the order process, if you choose to make your payment by credit card, you will enter a secured area of our web site. (A key, lock, or chain may appear in your browser’s status bar to show that you are in a secure area.) In this secure area, your information will be encrypted using Verisign and then processed electronically by GPFS Plumbing & Fire Supply. But if you would like to submit your credit card information over the phone, simply contact one of our representatives at 818-764-9800 and someone will assist you.

You can pay for your order by check, money order, or by credit card (Visa, Master Card, American Express ). If you’re a local customer to one of our distribution/showroom locations (Los Angeles area), you can pick up your items or have them shipped to you and pay for them at that time.

This is a secure web site. To add to the traditional security of credit card number encryption, we also require that you enter a CVV2, CVC2 or CID number when you use your credit card. CVV2 (Card Verification Value), CVC2 (Card Validation Code) and CID (Card Identification #) codes are a new authentication scheme established by credit card companies to help reduce fraudulent use of credit card numbers in internet transactions. It consists of requiring a card holder to enter the CVV2, CVC2 or CID codes at transaction time to verify that the card is on hand. You can find these codes as shown below. If your credit card does not have one of the codes, please contact your credit card company to get a new credit card that will allow us to process your online credit card order in the most secure way possible.Visa and MasterCard cards have a 3-digit CVV2 and CVC2 security code. The security code is the last 3 digits of the number on the back of the card (see diagram below). Discover card has a 3-digit Card Member ID security code. The security code is the last 3 digits of the number on the back of the card (see diagram below). American Express credit cards have a 4-digit CID security code, and it’s located on the front of the card in various areas.
