Today's technologically advanced world affords a great number of opportunities - for both the honest and the dishonest - with that said, we'd like to inform our numerous visitors of the most recent credit card security breach affecting 40 million cardholders. Given this occurence, we feel compelled to provide a better understanding of what safeguards you when doing business with us.

For a secure transmission, we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The SSL is what applies the encryption between two connecting devices or applications, such as your personal computer or laptop (even PDA's and eventually cellphones) and our servers. When you submit information to us (transmit data), it is encrypted (or 'scrambled' and unreadable) on your end, then decrypted (or 'unscrambled') on our end. This is where the "128-bit encryption" comes into play. Utilizing this process (the highest available and generally, the industry standard) essentially means, *"It would take hundreds of years of main frame computer processing time to attempt to break these encryption codes, which are set up using random ciphers for each and every purchase. Your information is fully secure and your purchase protected, in fact your credit card details are held more secure than with the majority of off-line credit card transactions today." An off-line transaction would include telephone transactions, point of purchase transactions, etc.

Our company never has (thus could never keep) a customers credit card number on file, because our credit card processing service is the one entrusted to safeguard that information. These services are provided by ECI-PAY. Additionally, we also employ a third party company to monitor ours and our server's vulnerabilities to electronic attacks. These services are provided by Security Metrics. Click here to view our most recent certification.

How do you know you have a secure connection? Look at your browser's address field. An unsecure connection (the type used when you're just surfing the internet, reading the news, checking sports scores, using a search engine, etcetera) will have this format, "http://www.AContrivedDomain.com", but if you're supposed to be "checking out" then the format should be, "https://www.AContrivedDomain.com" - it's the "S" that tells you the connection is "S"ecure. The browser, Internet Explorer, even displays an image of a closed or locked padlock in the lower right of your browser window (of course, this is dependent on which browser you use).

All in all, the credit card issuer and the credit card processor are the biggest targets of electronic attacks and thus remain the most vulnerable. Please feel free to explore the various links provided on this page (above and below) to better understand the many aspects of technology (and mathematics) at work on your behalf.

I have wanted to take a few minutes and write and tell you how thrilled and utterly delighted I am with the custom-ordered two-tone comforter. I was so hoping it would come before the holiday (Thanksgiving) so I could "dress-up" our bedroom with the new comforter...and it did!!!!
It's beautiful and the quality is outstanding!!! It's exactly what I wanted and couldn't find anywhere to fit our 15" deep mattress.
Thanks so much and I so appreciate your help!!!!

We are thrilled with the faux fur ensemble! It is just what we were looking for. The craftsmanship is impeccable and the comforter and accessories are very luxurious. The colors are rich and warm and we couldn't be happier with the feel of the faux fur. Everything we received was awesome. Thank you both for making our bedroom complete!

Your website has made this purchase very easy and settles my anxieties about ordering online. I especially thank you for your precise and honest information on shipping and handling charges. Again, thank you.

I do have to tell you that I have four twisted lumbar vertebrae in my back and had been experiencing a great deal of pain when I went to bed. My chiropractor suggested I try a natural wool bed topper, and I absolutely love it. I actually slept through the night the first time I used it! Your product is great, and it was delivered promptly and undamaged! I would highly recommend Kozy Komfort (by Karen) to anyone who would like a good night's rest. Thanks again for your great product!

I received the quilt Saturday and it is fabulous! I love it! It took me two years to find what I wanted and it was worth it! Thank you so much!
