Having a problem completing your order? Some solutions are listed below.
 
If you experience an error page while completing your order first try reloading or refreshing the page. If you still get an error, try clearing your browser's cache and rebooting your computer. Often just going offline and returning to the site can work too. If this does not solve the problem, it may be due to another issue. Our shopping cart is working fine. The problems encountered are most likely on the client's computer. The most common problems are caused by bad security patches. Unfortunately they don't seem to debug these updates before releasing them and they can cause all kinds of problems, including interfering with the proper functioning of shopping carts. Currently we are aware of one of these problems in particular, with Mac computers and the latest Internet Explorer patch/update. There is a problem with Macs and their SSL. If you have this set up you'll likely be unable to place an order with that browser and it's faulty update. Netscape may work fine though. Or you can order from a PC.
 
If the problem you are experiencing involves the cart being empty even after you've added items to you order, it may be due to having cookies disabled in your browser settings.
 
Unless you have customized your privacy settings, your Web browser will already have cookies enabled. Miva Merchant, our shopping cart software, maintains a client's session ID using a cookie that is stored on your computer. This cookie links you to your shopping cart. Each time a Web page is loaded, Miva Merchant reads this cookie and keeps your shopping cart current. This is our only use of cookies on our site. No personal or shopping item information are stored in this cookie.

If you have cookies disabled in your browser, Miva Merchant will try to read the session ID from an expected cookie file. Since Miva Merchant won't be able to read the cookie, it simply creates a new session ID, and assigns a new, empty basket. This will be a problem, as you will continually find an empty basket.
