Is on-line ordering with Credit Card safe?
Yes. All of our product ordering pages are protected with a SSL certificate. SSL certificates are used to authenticate a site and ensure that a secure connection exists between the user and the client. It also confirms the identity of both the user and client. Customers should feel comfortable providing their information online when they see a secure certificate.

How do I place an Order Online?
Our web site tracks what products you place into your "shopping cart" the same as you would in a real store. You can add items to your "shopping cart" by simply clicking the "Add One To Cart" or "Buy One Now" buttons beside our product listings, under Product List, which is near the top center of any page. The “Add One to Cart” is a good selection if you intend to do more shopping. Choose the “Buy One Now” selection when you are ordering only one item or it’s the last item you desire as it takes you directly to checkout.

If you do not want a product you have placed into your shopping cart, click on the shopping cart button at the top of the site and select the "Remove" button.

When you are ready to complete your purchase, select the "Checkout" button near the top right of the web site. This will connect you to our secure order processing area.

How can I see what is in my shopping cart?
