What payment methods do you accept?

We accept most major credit cards (e.g. VISA & MasterCard), PayPal, and checks when ordering online. We also accept business or educational purchase orders. These can be paid by check, with most major credit cards, or with a free bank transfer.

My credit card was declined. What’s going on?

There are several reasons a credit card can be declined. Some of the reasons include:
• You’ve simply entered the details of the card incorrectly. Re-check the card number, expiration date, and CVV code.
• The address you’ve entered isn’t the same address you’ve provided to the card issuer. Most importantly, the zip codes need to match.
• You’ve reached your daily spending limit allowed by the card issuer. You’re attempting a purchase that goes over your maximum transaction amount allowed by the card issuer.
• There’s been a fraud alert placed on your account by the card issuer.

After verifying you’ve entered your details correctly, your best bet is to contact your card issuer directly.

Will I receive confirmation of my order?

When you complete your order on michaelgrinder.com, you will receive confirmation by email that your order was successfully submitted.

What if I don’t receive a confirmation of my order?

If you placed an order on michaelgrinder.com but have not received an order confirmation email within a few hours, the email may have been blocked by email filtering software. Check your spam/junk folder. If you or your email provider use a filter or spam blocker, please add info@michaelgrinder.com to your Address Book or “white list.” This will ensure that you receive emails regarding your Michael Grinder & Associates order status.

How do I access my account or view my orders?

You will need to log in on this page to access your account and orders.

I don’t remember the username for my account. How do I find it?

You can recover your username for michaelgrinder.com by going here and doing a password reset and entering your email address. The email you receive will provide your username.

How do I access my purchased digital video?

You will receive a link via email to view your digital video, and you can also find the digital video in your Orders tab in your account.

Can I watch my video with captions?

Yes! English captions are available on each digital video product. Just click the “cc” icon on the bottom right-hand side of the video player. You can toggle the captions on and off with that button.

What if I delete my account, can I still have access to my digital video purchase? And if so, how?

If you delete your account with us you will lose access to your digital files. However, we might be able to reconnect you to previous purchases upon reestablishing your account.

I’m using an Apple (iOS) device and I can’t download my audio file. How do I do that?

Mobile Apple devices (iPad, iPhone, iPods, etc.) are only able to stream the audio files from a browser. Other Apple products (computers like MacBooks, iMacs, etc.) can download the file. If you’d like to download your audio file (e.g. for offline use), download the file to your desktop (or laptop) computer and then either play the file or add the file into your iTunes library.

I ordered an eBook and received confirmation of my order, but I haven’t received my book. Where is it?

We do have a process in place should you have issues receiving your eBook link. Please review the following:
• Check the orders tab in your account.
• Verify the email link wasn’t sent to your spam/junk folder.
• Request that the link be resent to you by emailing us.
• Provide an alternative email address to send the link to.

Do you accept returns after 30 days?

Yes! However, there are percentage restrictions. You can return 25% of the total number of copies purchased after the 30 days has passed from the original purchase date.

What about titles that are old or out of print, do you accept returns after 30 days?
