Online shopping information

Using our PayPal Shopping Cart

Pittsburgh Alternative Health has teamed up with PayPal to provide you with a secure shopping cart and checkout.  You do NOT need to be a PayPal member and you don't need to join PayPal to use our shopping cart and checkout. You will have the advantage of using the web's premier payment clearing house, knowing that your personal information is safe and secure. Your credit card information is kept secure by PayPal and is NOT transmitted to Pittsburgh Alternative Health.

Please note: When you add an item to the shopping cart, PayPal will open a new browser window. You can checkout at this point, or you can continue shopping by minimizing or closing this window without losing your order. The window will pop up to the top with each item you add, or when you click the Check Out button from the catalog page.

  • Orders to Foreign Addresses  IN general we ship to the lower 48 states. If you wish to ship an order out of the US, please contact office@pittsburghalternativehealth.com before placing your order.

  • Out of Stock Items   If we are out of stock of an item you asked for, and we expect the item to be back in stock within a short time we will contact you via email.  If we don't expect the item in a reasonable time, we will notify you via email and promptly refund the purchase and shipping price.

  • Sales Tax   Orders shipped out side of Pennsylvania are TAX EXEMPT.  Orders shipped to addresses in PA will have sales tax charged on the order total, including shipping and handling.

    If you ordered an incorrect item and wish to return it, please note the following:

    • All requests for returns must be made within 30 days of invoice date. Refrigerated items cannot be returned.

    • Materials must be returned with the original packaging and all items must be in new, unused condition. 

    • We are unable to accept returns on special orders

    • Please call or e-mail for a Return Authorization Number before returning items so we can handle your request more efficiently.

    • Shipping and handling fees are not refunded (unless the return was due to our error) and any additional shipping and handling required for replacement merchandise (again, unless it is our error) will be added.

    • Please include a note letting us know your Invoice Number and how you wish to have us handle the return.  If payment was originally made through our Secure Shopping Cart, refunds will be handled through PayPal with credit applied to the account used originally.

What credit cards can I use?
Our Secure Shopping Cart accepts MasterCard, Visa, Discover and American Express credit cards as well as direct debit to your checking account using E-Checks. The Check Out process will include verifying your credit card billing address, helping to prevent credit card fraud.


What if I'm NOT a PayPal Member? Will I have to sign up with them?
You do NOT need to be a PayPal member to use our Secure Shopping Cart.  Anyone with a credit card or checking account can shop on line at Pittsburgh Alternative Health.  After you have completed your check out on the secure server, PayPal will ask if you wish to become a member.  You have the advantage of never having to re-enter your personal information again if you do become a member, but this is strictly optional.


I am already a PayPal Member.  How will your cart work with my PayPal account?
If you are a PayPal member, when you go to check out, you will have the option of using your PayPal account to pay for your purchases.


What if you are out of an item I ordered?
If we are out of stock on an item you've ordered, we will:
(a)  Backorder the item if we expect it back in stock shortly AND the value is $20 or more.  There is no further shipping and handling fee.  You may cancel the backorder if you need to and we will promptly refund any amount due you.

(b)  If we don't expect the item for some time (generally two weeks or more) we will ship your order without that item. We will immediately refund your money for that item through PayPal. Please include the item on your next order.


What information does PayPal forward to Pittsburgh Alternative Health?
PayPal sends us only the information we need to fill your order.  Your name, address, e-mail address, phone number (if you filled in that blank), the materials you've ordered and the amount they charged to your credit card.  They do NOT send your credit card or any other personal info to us.

We enter your name and address into our database and may, on occasion, send you mailings (via postal service or e-mail) to let you know of new products or promotions.  You may opt out at any time.  We do NOT solicit by phone and the only time we would use your phone number would be to call if there was a question about your order.
No part of your personal information is ever shared with any other party.


Can I call you and place my order?
Yes, you certainly can.  Pittsburgh Alternative Healths accepts Master Card, Visa, Discover and debit credit cards over the phone. Our friendly and experienced sales staff will be happy to take your order and help you with any questions you might have. Just call 412-563-1600.
