What are the Under Order Minimum Fees?
A. Under Order Minimum Fees apply to each product line when your order does not meet the $100.00 value. However, you must have at least $100.00 in the cart to check out at any time.
Items are automatically grouped together by product line in the cart.
Carson ® requires a minimum order amount of $100.00 for each of our product lines. If your cart does not meet the minimum order requirement for each product line the following fees will apply:
- Order Amount of $0 - $49.99 will incur a $30.00 per product line fee
- Order Amount of $50.00 - $99.99 will incur a $5.00 per product line fee
- ALL ORDERS OVER $100.00 WILL NOT INCUR ANY FEES
Please note that the less than minimum order fees are in place to help offset the costs associated with packing and shipping orders that are less than $100.00. By ordering $100.00 or more it helps keep your shipping charges as cost effective as possible and helps keep our prices reasonable so that you can enjoy a great value everyday.

PRODUCTS
Q.
I want to order a specific quantity for an item, but it is forcing me to do it in x increments, why?
A. Certain items are sold in multiples, meaning that you have to order in multiple quantities. For example, if ceramic mugs come in an assortment of 4 pieces, you will be required to order in 4s-4, 8, 12, 16, etc. There are minimum quantities also associated with each of our products. In the previous example, if the minimum was 12 and the multiple was 4 you be required to order 12 pieces, and then order in multiples of 4-12, 16, 20, etc. These values are defined and displayed for each product on our site. The minimum order quantity is also populated in the quantity box for each product.

I found the price online is different than in the catalog, why?
A. We hold the right, at any time, to change or modify the products or prices on our Site, our catalogs, or in any other material that is distributed and related to Carson®.
