How Do I Use the Shopping Cart?
When browsing the site you will find the products you want to purchase. When you find a product, click on the picture or the link for that product. This will take you to a page of detailed information and an option near the bottom of the page to “Add to Cart”. Simply place the quantity of the items you wish to purchase in the box and click “Add to Cart”. You may add and remove items by viewing your cart and updating amounts. You can continue shopping and adding items to your shopping cart, just like a bricks’n’mortar shop. When you are ready to checkout, you will be asked some obvious information for billing and shipping your purchases.
Do I have to register and open an account to shop here?
Yes – we require a customers to register as its during the registration process that they enter their billing and shipping details – we do need an address to send any books you buy to you! Plus it makes future transactions much quicker and registration only takes a couple of minutes.
To help you with your shopping experiences we’ve developed the personal trading account system to enable our registered members to enjoy a quick and easy shopping system. However, you do not have to register with us if you only want to browse around, or add things to your shopping cart. Only if you decide to buy, when you purchase an item for the first time, will you be prompted to open a trading account automatically.
