At Columbia Sports, Inc we don't just stand behind our merchandise. We also do our best to provide a safe and convenient online shopping experience. That means we safeguard the integrity of our customers' credit card information. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect the security of your credit card information as it is transmitted to us. SSL is the gold standard in Internet encryption technology, which is a fancy way of saying that it's a highly sophisticated method of scrambling data as it travels from your computer to our website's servers. To make sure you are accessing our secure server before you submit personal financial information, look at the lower left-hand corner of your browser. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending upon your browser), then SSL is active. To double-check for security, look at the URL or Location line of your browser. If you have accessed a secure server, the first characters of the address in that line should change from "http" to "https." If you're not quite comfortable shopping online, or would prefer to make your purchase via telephone, just give us a call at 1-888-9-TEAM-CS, 9 am - 4 pm M-F Pacific.
