FAQ

Payment

Where can I find my invoices?

Once you have completed your order, Fore will always send confirmation of the order by email. You will receive another email immediately after your order has been dispatched. The email will also include the invoice, so you will have it right away.

We will do all we can to make things as easy as possible for you. Your personal account therefore provides an overview of all your orders and invoices. This means all your invoices are in one place and you can view them as often as you like. 

To retrieve the invoices in your account:
1. Go to ‘My Fore account’.
2. Click on ‘My orders’
3. You will now see an overview of all your orders.
4. Click on the order for the invoice you want to see.
5. The invoice will be displayed here. You will be able to review it, send it to yourself by email or print it. 

My payment has failed or has been refused. What should I do?

Your payment may in some cases fail or be rejected. Because of privacy regulations we have no insight into the exact cause. If your payment has failed or has been rejected, we will automatically void your order. 

If you would you still like to place your order, we recommend that you first check the following steps:
- Do you have sufficient funds in your account?
- Is the credit limit sufficient?
- If you are paying by credit card, is the 3D secure code of your card activated and correct?
- Has the credit card been blocked or has it expired?
If none of the above provide a solution, we advise you to contact your bank or credit card company as appropriate. They will be able to tell you the reason for the failed or refused payment. 

If you still have questions about a failed or refused order, please contact our customer service department.
