How & Why to Queue Orders
Queued (Hold) Orders with Dakota Matrix Minerals
Placing an order on Queue is the same as placing the order on Hold, so payment and shipping are postponed until the held Queued Orders are released by you, the user, thus completing the order. The Queue option is only available to Registered Users and allows users to place multiple orders, placed at different times, on Queue, and then users have the option to combine them for shipment on a later date - saving you on shipping/handling charges. Keep in mind that by placing an order on Queue you ARE purchasing the specimen(s) in the order and will be responsible for all amounts plus shipping/handling. Also, we please ask that you release your Queued Orders for shipment and complete payment within 4 weeks (30 days) of the first Queued Order OR when the combined total of the Queued orders is greater than $500.
