Comparative Pricing

OpticsForYou.com makes its best effort to ensure that "List Price" represents the full retail price suggested by the supplier or manufacturer, the price estimated based on comparable items offered elsewhere, a former price the item was offered for by at OpticsForYou.com or the price estimated in accordance with standard industry practice.

"You Save" indicates the difference between the "List Price" and the "Sale Price". Since "List Price" may vary in your location, you may realize a savings that is greater or less than the "You Save" indicates.

If you have additional questions regarding our Pricing Policy, please feel free to contact us.

Please be aware that there may be a slight delay in the processing of your order while the order details are being verified.

OpticsForYou.com reserves the right to contact customers or to require manual payment verification to confirm that all received information is verifiable and legitimate prior to clearance.

Once verification is complete, the charged amount will either be credited back to your credit card or will be applied towards your order.
