Having Trouble with the search or shopping features?

  • Why do items disappear from my shopping cart (when I look for an additional item to "add to cart," the previous item has disappeared)?
    -- If your item(s) seem to disappear from the shopping cart, please try "refreshing" the page.

    Another cause may be if your browser's privacy settings are on HIGH. This site (as do many online merchant sites) uses cookies to keep track of what is in your shopping cart. To solve this issue, in Internet Explorer, click on "Tools" and choose "Internet Options" from the drop-down menu; then choose the "Privacy" tab and click on the "Default" button; your privacy setting slider should be on Medium.
  • Why can I not access the STATE field in the address section of the check-out page?
       
    If you have a USA or Canada address, your state field should expand once you choose your country from the country drop-down list. If this does not happen, it may be a browser incompatibility (the programming is optimized for Internet Explorer).
       If you are using IE, it is probably because your browser's security settings are on HIGH, which disables java programming used in the secure check-out area. To solve this issue, in Internet Explorer, click on "Tools" and choose "Internet Options" from the drop-down menu; then choose the "Security" tab, then (with the "Internet" option highlighted) click on the "Default level" button; your security setting slider should be on Medium.
    In many cases you can simply go on to the next check-out page after having filled everything else in, and record the "State" when providing your credit card info.
  • I am on the check-out page and nothing happens when I click on the "NEXT" button.
        This may be due to a browser incompatibility (the programming is optimized for Internet Explorer). If you are using IE, it is probably because your browser's security settings are on HIGH, which disables java programming used in the secure check-out area. To solve this issue, in Internet Explorer, click on "Tools" and choose "Internet Options" from the drop-down menu; then choose the "Security" tab, then (with the "Internet" option highlighted) click on the "Default level" button; your security setting slider should be on Medium.
  • Why does nothing seems to happen when I click on a link on your site?
       
    Sometimes when you have more than one browser window open, a link might appear not be working when in fact the new page opens up in another already-open window (hard to notice, if the other window is minimized).

    If you still experience problems, please, describe your problem to our technical contact, including such information as to which operating system and browser you are using.
    In the meantime you can also use other ordering methods; see first item below
