How to Order
    Using the Shopping Cart

    When you find an item that you are interested in, just click on the "Add" button to put it in your shopping cart. This does not obligate you to buy the item, it is just like a cart in a regular store. You can remove any or all the products from your cart anytime by just selecting VIEW CART. If you leave the store with unpurchased items in your cart, they will simply return to the shelves and no order will be placed. Just think of the shopping cart as a convenient place to hold items that you may want to buy until you are ready to check out. Then you can make the final decisions.

    Checking out

    To purchase items and arrange for delivery, simply select CHECKOUT or VIEW CART. Either way, you can remove items or change the quantity of items in your shopping cart. You can return to find additional items even after you have chosen to CHECKOUT - just like a regular store. Once you have what you want in the cart, select your country and state. Since we are located in California we are required to add sales tax to all orders shipped to addresses in California.

    Next, if you have any special shipping requirements, type them into the box. United States shipment options are standard UPSP Media Mail or Priority Mail. The minimum shipping cost is $3.75 for up to three DVD's or one VHS tape or game. Fees are based on the weight of the items in your order, reqardless of size. Shipment can be made to PO Boxes and APO/FPO addresses. International shipments are sent Airmail.

    Select your Country and State from the pull-down menus.

    When you click on GO TO PAYMENTS, the invoice will be updated to show the shipping cost, tax (if any), and the order total. You then fill-in your name, address and other data. The fields in BOLD are required. If paying by credit card, use your credit card billing address for the Invoice. This data is verified with your credit card issuer for your protection. Please provide as much information as you can to help us serve you properly. If you want the order shipped to a different address than your billing address, enter that in the next section. Otherwise, leave the Delivery Address section blank. Click on CONTINUE.

    You will see the name and address details. If you need to change or correct anything, use your BACK button. Otherwise, select a payment option.

Payment Options
    You can pay by MasterCard or Visa, or you can mail us a Check or Money Order. Yes, we do accept personal checks, but your order will be delayed a few days while they clear. The mailing address is on the page and will be on the order confirmation that you receive by email once the order is complete. You can also pay with PayPal or Billpoint - we will send you a payment request. To pay by check or money order, select CHECK or MONEY ORDER and mail-in the payment. If you want to pay by credit card, but not online, select the PHONE option. In this case you will need to Phone, Fax, or Mail us your credit card number and expiration date. The shopping cart will send us the order and shipping information. Click CONTINUE.

    If you selected any payment option other than Credit Card, you will receive your order confirmation number at this point. If you are using a credit card, follow the instructions below:

    Fill-in your name as it appears on the credit card. Select the type of card and type in the card number. Select the expiration date and click SSL SECURE PAYMENT. You are on a secure server, note the https in the address line of your browser when you are on that page.

    You will receive a confirmation notice on the next page and a copy of the order will be emailed to you. If you have any questions, feel free to email or telephone.

Changing your Order
    If you need to change your order after the final confirmation, send us an email or phone. Orders are processed quickly, but if you see an error right away there will be time to change it before it is filled.
