Below are some of the common questions about orders
How can I place an order?
For Retail Customers:
The most efficient and convenient method to place orders is through the Ya Store website. Alternatively, you may submit your order via email. To do this, visit our website and add the desired items to your online shopping cart . Once your cart is complete, do not proceed to checkout. Instead, take a screenshot of the "My Cart" page and send it, along with your shipping address, phone number, and email address to 'info@yastore.com'. Please note, orders placed via email will not be processed until payment is received through one of the accepted payment methods. Retail orders are not accepted over the phone.
For Schools and Wholesale Customers:
Schools and wholesale customers can utilize the same methods available to retail customers. For the sake of convenience and expedited processing, we recommend ordering online. Additionally, schools and wholesale customers have the option to place orders by phone.
How Can I find an item that I'm looking for?
You can easily find your desired item(s) by :
Search Bar: Begin by typing the name of the product you're looking for in the search bar at the top of the page. As you type, suggestions will appear to help you find what you're looking for faster.
Once you have your search results, you can use the filter options to narrow down your choices. Filters might include categories like price range, brand, color, or ratings.You can also sort the results by different criteria, such as relevance, price (low to high or high to low), or customer ratings.
Categories: If you prefer to browse by topic, you can use the categories option. Click on one of the menu items located on the top (PC) or on the dropdown menu (Phone), and you'll see a list of product categories. Select the category that matches your interest, and you'll be directed to a specific section of the site, where you can use filters and sorting options to refine your search further.
What are the available payment methods?
Customers have the option to select from various payment methods, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and Diners Club. We also accept digital wallet payments, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, Amazon Pay, and Meta Pay. Additionally, checks and money orders are accepted. All checkout pages are secured with SSL encryption to ensure the protection of your information. Full payment must be completed at the time the order is placed. Please note that orders paid by check or money order will not be fulfilled and shipped until the check/money order has cleared, which typically takes two weeks from receipt.

My order contains "Out of Stock" items, Will you ship them?
If your order contains items that are not sufficiently in stock, the following procedures may occur:
Some items may be back-ordered, meaning they will be shipped to you as soon as they become available. A notice indicating the estimated arrival date will appear below such items.
Items that cannot be back-ordered will need to be removed from your cart before you can proceed to checkout. In this case, please note the titles and desired quantities in the comments field before placing your order. While we will make every effort to restock these items and add them to your order, we cannot guarantee their availability.
For out-of-stock items that cannot be back-ordered, you can use the “Email Me When Available” feature, which will appear in place of the “Add to Cart” button on the item's page. We will notify you as soon as these items become available. Please note that receiving this email does not obligate you to purchase the item.
Do you have a walk-in business?
Please note that the address listed on our website is for our warehouse. For the safety of our customers, employees are strictly prohibited from allowing any customer access to this location. On the other hand, customers can pickup their orders from the warehouse only if they chose the pickup option from the order page. Retail orders can only be placed through our website. Additionally, schools and wholesale orders can be accepted by phone.
