Phillips Plastics understands your concerns over Internet security. Because we share your concerns we've worked closely with our website designer and Bank to develop a highly secure on-line ordering process that lets you shop and order with confidence. All order information is transmitted and stored using 128 bit-encryption, the highest level of security available on the internet and the same level of security that banks use to conduct on-line banking.
The Secure Order Process
Using the GBS Ecommerce System software in conjunction with features built into popular browser software, our site provides advanced security for your on-line purchases. The security features are automatic; you don't need to do anything special to invoke them. After you've decided on the items you want to purchase you'll be prompted to continue your order by clicking on "Add". The item you selected will be added to your shopping cart. As you proceed further you will be required to fill out an order form with your name, address, etc. At this point, you enter a secure mode. Your computer and our host server begin communicating in secure mode sending data back and forth in an encrypted format. It's at this point that we ask you for your credit card information. 128-bit encryption software is exceptionally powerful and ensures the security of this data as it is transmitted to our host server. Once your order arrives in our store we treat it with the utmost care as we do with any other credit card transaction information.
