Yes. Our minimum order is $15.00 of merchandise (excluding shipping costs). Shipping is additional and you will have the opportunity to select the shipping method prior to finalizing/completing your order. Please be advised that orders that do not have a minimum of $15.00 of merchandise will NOT be processed. We have a minimum order policy so that we can continue to offer spectacular prices on thousands of electronic parts.

We specialize in purchasing inventory lots directly from manufacturers and companies that build electronic equipment. We also have sources that offer us unique and custom parts that you will not find anywhere else. Often we are able to get excess parts inventory from manufacturers who are discontinuing a current product and are liquidating their inventories. We pass the savings on directly to our customers. We carry many of the same products that you will find at a distributor but at a fraction of the price!

Our inventory is constantly changing. Every day, new inventory arrives at our warehouse. Check the New Item section for our latest product offerings. We put new products online weekly and our online customers get the first chance to purchase product before we publish a flyer or a catalog. Sometimes we have a very limited quantity of a new item and it will sell out quickly. If you see something of interest, don't wait too long because it might sell out.

Due to the nature of our purchases, we often cannot get additional parts. Since many of our purchases are closeouts or special deals from manufacturers, once we run out of stock we sell an item out. We do not backorder items that are out of stock. If an item that you ordered is sold out, it will be removed from your invoice and you will not be charged.

No, we are unable to add items to orders once they have been placed. Our online store is integrated with our warehouse inventory and shipping systems for faster shipment times on all orders. Once an order is placed online, an invoice is generated at the same time that is used by our order fulfillment team to prepare your order for shipment. Once the invoice is generated, we cannot make changes. Since the invoice is generated at the time that your order is placed, it is important that you include all of the items that you want as we will not be able to add them at a later time.

Maybe, if your order hasn't already been processed. If you have placed an order online and would like to cancel your order, you must call us ASAP to cancel your order. Please DO NOT e-mail us to cancel your order. Once your order has shipped we are unable to cancel your order.

Please call us at 1-800-227-7312 and we will be happy to assist you. Please note that any problems must be addressed within 30 days of your order date.

Our online store is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week. You can browse our inventory and place orders any time day or night.

Our ordering department, shipping department and technical department are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm (Arizona Time- the state of Arizona doesn't observe daylight savings so we are one hour ahead of the west coast during the fall/winter and the same time spring/summer).

We ship out orders every day except Saturday and Sunday and holidays. Our Office and Warehouse are closed on weekends.

We do our best to respond to legitimate e-mail that we receive. The majority of the e-mail that we receive is spam and is filtered out. Every now and then a legitimate e-mail is filtered as spam. We apologize for this. If you have a broken part or missing item, please call us at 1-800-227-7312.

In addition, we are not a design firm or engineering firm so we are unable to answer design related questions.

Security protocols and technologies currently exist to protect our customer's online orders. Most of the reported credit card fraud over the internet has involved people emailing their credit card account numbers to merchants, or web sites accepting credit cards without using any security protocols. Please do not e-mail credit card information. Such potentially insecure methods of data transmission are not used here at Chaney Electronics, Inc. We employ the latest in internet security and electronic commerce security:

Database Security: The Electronic Goldmine gathers customers, products, and orders in databases. Those databases are secured with passwords. Even someone typing on the computer the database is stored on would have to know the database passwords to gain access to the information.

Encoded Credit Card Slips: Credit card transactions (or slips, as they are known in the banking industry) are encoded using the Secure Electronic Commerce (SET) standard pioneered by Visa and MasterCard. Even if someone were to intercept a transaction, they would not be able to gain access to the information. Credit card transactions are handled in real time between your credit card issuer and our bank.

SSL Server Certificate: The Electronic Goldmine uses an SSL server certificate. What’s a server certificate? A company wanting to do business on the world wide web must prove to a trusted third party, such as VeriSign Inc. that they really exist and have the right to use a particular domain name (Internet address). An SSL Certificate is then assigned to that business that authenticates their domain.

When a customer uses a modern web browser, the browser can automatically check the business's authenticity. If the browser can't verify that VeriSign vouches for the business, it will refuse to start an encrypted session, or at least pop up a window warning the customer that the browser can't determine authenticity. The encryption mechanism used for SSL certificates is so secure, the U.S. government prohibits its export outside the United States.

No, we sell directly to our customers at wholesale prices.

Occasionally we purchase components/inventory from companies if the quantity is high enough and the price low enough. We generally do not buy used or damaged inventory. There also has to be enough quantity to make it worth the effort of advertising and warehousing the product. Please e-mail OrderInfo@Goldmine-Elec.com with any offers. The Electronic Goldmine disclaims any implied warranties of merchantability and fitness, arising in connection with the sale of any product described in this catalog. In no event shall The Electronic Goldmine be liable for any claim for incidental or consequential damages arising out of or in connection thereof with the manufacture, sale, delivery or use of any product in this catalog.
