| Do I need an account to buy here? |
| |
No, you do not need an account. You can just place your order and then check out. If you choose to not open an account, all that happens is that none of your personal info will be saved for you when you come back in the future to shop. If you would like to be able to see your order history, then please create an account.

When I placed an order it did not appear to do anything. |
| |
When you are at the check out page, (the page where you put in your credit card info) it does appear to do nothing when you click continue... but just wait a moment, and then refresh the page, then click the continue button again. Your credit card will not be charged twice. If, by chance, your order is charged twice we will immediately void the duplicate. If you still have a problem, then please contact us by email, or phone, or use our contact us page and let us know of any problems you have had.

What is my cache and how does it effect shopping? |
| |
The cache function on your browser makes a temporary copy of all files your browser needs to view our site. Sometimes when you are visiting our site, your browser may be viewing an old page. If you are having trouble with the site it may be that you need to clear your cache and clear your temporary files. By clearing your cache you will not effect the way your computer operates. It only means your computer will get new files from the sites you visit. It may be good to do this every so often. By clearing your cache you avoid having your computer use old files or old information. If your cache is large it may also make your computer run slower instead of faster as this is the purpose of the cache. (Side note: refreshing a page should put a new copy of that page in your cache.)
Here is how to clear my cache:
Internet Explorer
Go to tools
Then Internet Options
Go to General (this should already be on the screen by default)
Click on Delete Cookies
Click on Delete Files, that will bring up another screen, check the box-delete all offline content
Netscape
Go to tools
Go to Options
Go to Privacy
Click on Cookies, then click on Clear
Click on Cache, then click on Clear.
