Understanding
our Shopping Cart
Unlike many products
sold on the Internet, card prices and availability are very volatile and
it is impossible to maintain high inventories at stable, quoted prices.
This is why we always confirm your
order, prior to charging your credit card or asking you to mail a check/money
order.
What our
shopping cart provides:
 |
The same product search
forms that you are already familiar with.
|
 |
An easy-to-use method
of selecting products and placing them in a cart, rather than having
to write them down so you could later enter them into an order form
box, as we've done before.
|
 |
An easy way to review
your purchases and prices at any time, by the click of a
button.
|
 |
A nice looking summary
of your requested items in a receipt format with an assigned order
number so that you can print it immediately for reference, if you
wish.
|
 |
An immediate email
confirmation that your order has been entered into our system.
|
 |
A SECURE way to provide
us with your ENTIRE credit card number when you place your order.
You no longer have to use the same credit card as before, and no
longer have to call us first to place that credit card on file.
|
 |
A "Comments"
box to allow you to provide any personal messages regarding your
order, as you've been able to do with the previous system.
|
 |
The use of modern
Internet Technologies (JavaScript, Cookies, Stylesheets). You must
have Javascript enabled for a pleasant shopping experience. See
TECHNOLOGY NOTES below.

IMPORTANT SECURITY
NOTES: We have purchased a "digital certificate"
which encrypts your submitted order information so that no intruder
can see the information from the time it leaves your keyboard, reaches
our server, and is displayed again on your screen. Your confirmation
email is not encrypted and therefore the credit card information
does not appear in it.

After selecting
one of the four shopping links above, your browser will indicate
that the session is secure. You will see "HTTPS://"
in the address line at the top of your browser. A padlock
icon will appear on your browser's status bar to let you know that
the page is secure. If you don't see the padlock, please advise
us immediately via phone or email. It shouldn't happen. In such
a situation, do NOT enter your credit card information. You
can use the "Check/Money Order" order form instead. Tell
us what happened in the Comments box,
and we'll call you for the credit card number.
IMPORTANT TECHNOLOGY NOTES: "Javascript"
must be enabled in your browser to take advantage of several important
navigation links, field validation on several important forms, and
the implementation of "cookies". It is optional for your
browser to accept "Cookies" but this feature will
enable us to remember your ordering information, making it much more
productive when you fill out the forms in the future. "Stylesheets"
support is also optional but it makes the shopping cart pages much
more cosmetically appealing.
