Because our subscription to the Shopping Cart service has expired, and to continue it would 
require paying for another full year's service, we have discontinued Shopping Cart ordering.    
You may order via eMail, US Mail, or phone message.

email Orders:

• List all the products, by order ID, and how many you want of each.
• Provide your Name and billing address - the address where you get the bill for your
  credit or debit card)
• Provide your shipping address-you can indicate that it is the same as billing, rather than entering the same address twice.
• Provide your phone number.
• Provide your credit/debit card information. Start by sending the last four digits,
  expiration date, and security code with your eMail order. If you are an established
  customer who has used that card with us before, you need not send the rest of the
  information. However, if you are a new customer, you'll need to send the first twelve
  digits in a separate email, sometime between a couple hours later and the next day.
  Sending credit card information in two eMails greatly reduces the chance that a hacker
  can intercept and use it.

Mail Orders:

If paying by credit/debit card, use the same procedure as above. If you need to provide 
all your credit card information, you may send it all in the same letter, or split it between two 
letters as indicated above - your choice depending on how confident you are in 
the security of the U.S. Postal Service.


If paying by check, you need only send the list of items and quantities, and your shipping
address, along with your check.
