ICISF and Sheridan do not store any credit card information. Your billing address is saved to your account. If you need to use a different one, input the new address during your next checkout process.

The site will store that information for the next time you make a purchase.

A charge will immediately appear on your bank statement under the name "Sheridan".

The most common reason for declined credit card payments is the so called “AVS mismatch”. Please make sure that your provided billing address matches the information registered with your credit card account.

If you are sure that you provided the correct billing address and your payment is still declined by our system, please contact your bank or credit card company for assistance.

Did you try using two authorization codes in one order? Authorization codes have to be used separately, so you will have to place two separate orders for two authorization codes.

If you already checked out and have been charged, please contact us directly at materialorders@icisf.org with both authorization codes and course registration number (and order number if possible): We can retroactively apply the code and process a refund.

Our ICISF Course Materials Bookstore is set up for bulk orders, that's why we only offer shipping via FedEx. If you wish to purchase an individual copy of your course manual, please contact materialorders@icisf.org and let us know which course manual you would like to purchase, along with the course registration number of the course you attended. We will then be able to send you a direct link with regular mailing options.

Best practice is to order the needed course materials as soon as you have the final number of participants for your upcoming course, but to be on the safe side we recommend to order at least 2 weeks before your scheduled course dates. Don't forget to take processing and shipping time into account: You need to allow three to five business days for processing before shipping occurs.

For unavoidable last-minute orders we have included expedited shipping as one of your options at checkout, but please note that expedited shipping has no influence on the processing time of your order: Our course materials are printed to order and will always need a three to five business days processing time before shipping occurs.

If your course is scheduled in two weeks or less, we strongly recommend ordering eBooks instead of softcovers as we cannot guarantee that a softcover order will arrive in time for your course.

Please do not attempt to order course materials without the course registration number. Our team needs to be able to connect every online order to the correct course record, otherwise we reserve the right to cancel your order.

The electronic versions of our other manuals are only offered in one format (PDF), which is why we called the purchase option "PDF".
