Question 1

What is AFStore and how is it related to the Arthritis Foundation?

Accepted Answer

AFStore is the official online store operated for the Arthritis Foundation. Purchases made through AFStore help support the Foundation’s programs in research, advocacy, and patient education, and the store is linked directly from the main arthritis.org website.

Question 2

Why do I see a charge labeled “AFStore*Af” on my card statement?

Accepted Answer

A charge labeled “AFStore*Af” usually indicates that you purchased an item through the Arthritis Foundation’s online store, such as a book like Walk With Ease, educational materials, or other Foundation merchandise. The “*Af” portion typically refers to the Arthritis Foundation and may appear as part of the billing descriptor from their payment processor.

Question 3

Does AFStore bill on a recurring basis or is it one‑time only?

Accepted Answer

AFStore purchases are typically one‑time transactions for specific products you add to your cart and check out with. The store itself does not usually create recurring subscription charges; if you see repeated charges, verify that you did not place multiple separate orders or combine a store purchase with a recurring Arthritis Foundation donation through the main site.

Question 4

How can I get a copy of my AFStore receipt or check my order status?

Accepted Answer

Go to afstore.org and log in using the email address you used at checkout, then navigate to the “My Account” or order‑history section to view past orders and print receipts. If you checked out as a guest or can’t find your account, search your email for terms like “AFStore” or “Arthritis Foundation Order,” or use the store’s Contact Us form with your name, email, order date, and approximate amount so support can locate your order.

Question 5

How do I request a refund or cancel an AFStore order?

Accepted Answer

Refund and cancellation options depend on the order’s shipping and fulfillment status as well as the product type. If you need to cancel or modify an order, contact AFStore support as soon as possible using the contact details on afstore.org or via the Arthritis Foundation’s contact page on arthritis.org, providing your order number and explaining the issue. They can advise whether the order can be stopped or if a return/refund is possible once the item arrives.

Question 6

What are common purchase amounts for AFStore charges?

Accepted Answer

Common AFStore charges often correspond to the price of individual books or toolkits (for example, around the cost of a Walk With Ease guide plus shipping and tax) or a small group of items purchased together. If the amount on your statement matches a recent order total you recall from the Arthritis Foundation’s store, that is a strong indication the charge is legitimate.

Question 7

How can I verify that an AFStore charge is legitimate and not fraud?

Accepted Answer

To verify legitimacy, match the transaction date and amount against your AFStore or Arthritis Foundation confirmation email and your order history on afstore.org. You can also access the store from arthritis.org and use the “Store” or “Contact Us” links to ask staff to look up the transaction by your name, email, and the last four digits of your card. If they cannot find an associated order, contact your card issuer to report potential unauthorized activity.

Question 8

How do I contact someone about a problem with my AFStore charge or order?

Accepted Answer

The fastest way is to start from arthritis.org and follow the links to the Store or Contact Us pages, where you can find phone and email details for the Arthritis Foundation’s national office and support team. Provide your order number (if available), transaction date, and amount so they can locate your order and help resolve billing or fulfillment issues.
