Internet Banking/Direct Deposit payments usually show in our account overnight with the exception of weekends. If a payment is made on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, your order will be processed on the following Monday. Funds need to show in our account before your order can be processed and shipped. To ensure your order is processed promptly please ensure you use your order number and surname as reference so that your payment is easy for us to find.

Credit Card Transactions
Secure Payment Policy
All Credit Card transactions are processed immediately with the Bank. The payment page is secured with 128 bit encryption. The card details you enter are safe because it is not stored or cached by Parallel Imported - but is entered into a secure database at our payment gateway. Payment for Internet banking/Direct deposit orders must be made within 5 working days. If payment is not made within this time the order will be cancelled and will need to be placed again. We also perform random security checks on orders. This is to protect ourselves and our customers.
Security Verifications For Online Orders
All orders are subject to our verification procedures. If we are unable to verify your details, we will notify you and will need further information to process the order. We may request documents to verify your identity, if you feel uncomfortable supplying the documents requested, we advise that you choose direct deposit, or Laybuy as your method of payment.
These procedures are performed to counter a rapidly increasing number of fraudulent orders. This is done to protect your security as well as our own. These procedures were recommended to use by the Bank to ensure that your card is not being used without your knowledge or permission.
