Wait until later that night or the following day, and the number will show the accurate package tracking information.

UPS recycles all of their tracking numbers. Sometimes after a tracking number is assigned to a new package, the information available will still be from a previous order that already was delivered, sometimes months ago, under that same number. When this happens, please be assured that your tracking information will be available within a short amount of time and should then indicate the correct delivery date. Once the package has been scanned by UPS, you will also be able to click the view package progress link, and the updated tracking detail will be reflected.

Why has my credit card been charged twice or been charged for one dollar?

Upon placing an order with L.A. Police Gear, Inc., the customers' credit card may be authorized by the credit card company for the full dollar amount of the order. This is not a charge.

This amount will automatically be removed within two to five business days from the date the order was placed. L.A. Police Gear, Inc. will not act as an intermediary between the bank and the customer to have this authorization amount removed any earlier than what is required by the respective bank.

My order is supposed to qualify for a promotional item, but it is not showing up as I complete my order.

Some promotional items are added exclusively at the time of order processing and will not show up in your shopping cart or during the checkout process. These promo items will be added to your order during the processing portion of your order at the LA Police Gear warehouse.

Please note that the comments will be handled as a request, and they may or may not be executed before the order is processed. Due to the large volume of orders we incur, customers will not be notified if we are unable to accommodate those requests. Please be aware that your comments will not be seen by shipping carriers and directions about delivery will not be followed.
