SendSafe E-Business System Help
The 3 Easy Steps for Ordering... Step 1: To add items to your shopping basket click on any of the "add to basket" or other ordering buttons.
Step 2: Enter your shipping address.
Step 3: Fill in your billing information (billing address, e-mail address, and credit card).
Hint: You should never use a browser's "Back or Forward" navigation buttons when working on any shopping basket. These browser buttons load a page from your computer's memory and not a fresh page. You should always use the SendSafe Return to Prior Page or Continue Checkout buttons which will always load a fresh page.
When an order has been successfully processed you will see information similar to the illustration below. The hyperlink "click here for a printable e-receipt" provides an e-receipt which contains every piece of information about your order. It is recommended that you print or save a screen copy of this e-receipt.
Optional: How to ship your items to several different recipients. The ability to ship to multiple addresses is not available on all sites. If this ability is available, on the Shipping Address Page you will see a checkbox that reads "ship each item separately to different recipients" (example of what to look for). Shipping to multiple different addresses is called multi-address mode. If you select multi-address mode, everything in the basket will be separated into individual line items with a quantity (1) for you to edit and ship to separate addresses. Shipping costs are calculated with each item being shipped in a separate box. It cost more to ship items to multiple addresses than a single address. If you unselect multi-address mode, all the different shipping addresses will be removed and replaced with the address of the first item in the shopping cart. Shipping will be calculated with many items packed into a single box with a single address which lowers shipping cost. How to use ship to multiple recipients:
At any time during the check out process, you can modify or delete an item in your basket by clicking on its Edit To move to the next step in the check out process press the Continue Check Out button. To go back to a previous step in the check out process press the Return to Prior Page button. The SendSafe order form is divided into two main sections. The sections are shipping information and billing information. Each item in your shopping basket can have a different address. You can ship individual items to different people. This is very useful for sending gifts. SendSafe remembers every name and address you've entered. Once your basket is filled with all that you wish to purchase, go to the billing information form by pressing the Continue Check Out button. Type your name, address, and credit card information into the form. When all is complete and accurate press the Continue Check Out button to complete your purchase. If all the required information has not been entered you will get an error message explaining what needs to be completed. The shopping basket is where the items you wish to purchase are listed. You can place an unlimited number of items in the shopping basket. Items that are in the basket can be changed or deleted any time prior to placing the order. To modify an item in the shopping basket:
To remove an item from the shopping basket:
With QuickBuy you can checkout with just one-click of your mouse and no forms to fill out! If you are a returning customer and the store you are visiting supports QuickBuy, you will see an "Instant Checkout" box like the one shown below. With QuickBuy you can complete your purchase of a single item instantly, or you can accumulate items in your shopping basket then buy them all at once with one-click of your mouse. Either way it's easy.... To use Instant Checkout select from the drop down list the previous order and credit card you wish to use then press the Instant Checkout button. Coupons can be used with Instant Checkout. Changing credit card information used by QuickBuy: for information click here Information used from previous orders: The name and zip code displayed below the Instant Checkout button is the name and zip code from the shipping address where the selected prior order was shipped. Your "Instant Purchase" order will be shipped to this same address. Shipping address changes made in the MyAccount page will not change this address. Selecting other entries from the drop down list can result in both different shipping addresses and different credit cards being used. As different entries from the list are selected, you may see the name and zip code change to indicate where that order had been shipped (if the address is different). **Only on the Billing Information page can you use "Instant Purchase" to ship an order to an address other than the corresponding address in the drop down list. QuickBuy takes the information you entered during your last purchase and uses that information to complete your order. Your order can be sent to the same address and will be billed with the same billing information (credit card and billing address). After completing a QuickBuy, you will be e-mailed a receipt. For security reasons we only use billing info and email confirmation addresses that were successfully used in previous orders. If your order included items which will be downloaded, instructions and passwords needed to perform the download will be included in the e-mail receipt.
Entering New Credit Card Information New credit card information used by QuickBuy is entered automatically and updated with every purchase you make and can also be updated on the MyAccount page. If you wish to use new credit card information, you can change it on the MyAccount page or when making a purchase. If you wish to change the credit card while making a new purchase, do not use quick buy and instead proceed through the checkout process and enter new credit card information on the Billing Information page. This new information you entered will be used for all future quick buys. To enter a new credit card on the MyAccount page:
Credit card security codes are numbers found on the back of your Visa/Mastercard or on the front of your American Express card. Please copy this number into the security code entry field on the SendSafe billing page.
Security codes are not stored in any database and can only be found on the original card. The security code is called a CVV2 code on Visa, a CVC2 code on Mastercard, and a CID code on American Express. The total cost for your order is displayed on the Billing information page. If items are being shipped to several different addresses, some may have sales tax applied while other item may not have sales tax applied. Sales tax is charged if the order is being shipped to states where the company has a business presence. Shipping costs may be calculated based on distance from the company's shipping dock to the address of an individual item. If you have entered several different addresses for your items, the shipping charges for each item may vary. An order cannot be placed unless you enter a valid e-mail address. This e-mail address will be used to send order confirmation to you. This e-mail address may also be used to verify your identity. How to tell if a webpage is secure A secure webpage is a webpage which is encrypted. A secure page makes it safe to enter credit card information without concern that someone other than the intended recipient will see your information. Entire Sites are not secured by encryption, only specific critical webpages on a secure site are secured by encryption. The credit card entry page and password entry pages are typically the only encrypted pages on a secure site. You can tell if a webpage is secure by looking for https:// in the URL and looking for the little gold lock at the bottom of the webpage. See example below: In the browser URL line look for https: Coupon numbers are entered into a field just above the credit card number on the billing information page (see below) or into the Instant Purchase coupon entry field if you are using Instant Checkout. It is strongly recommended that you "Cut & Paste" the coupon number from the coupon into the form. Trying to type in a coupon number one character at a time is prone to error. For example it is easy to mistake the letter 'O' for the number zero '0' or the lower case letter-L 'l' with the number one '1'. The estimated discount will be displayed once you press the Apply Coupon button. Your total order amount may be zero if the coupon covers the entire cost of the order. The coupon discount will be applied once the order is fully processed and the coupon is validated by the server after the order has been submitted. Check your e-receipt which will be sent to you. This e-receipt will show the actual charges adjusted for coupons. Some coupons are good for the entire cost of the order. If the total cost displayed on the billing page is zero, you do not need to enter a credit card number. You can still provide a credit card number if you have any uncertainly whether the coupon will cover the total cost of the order or shipping charges. This will prevent any delays in processing your order. Your credit card will only be charged for any remaining costs after the coupon has been applied. You can enter more than one coupon number separated by commas. If you do enter multiple coupon numbers, the coupons do not have to be for the same dollar amount but all the coupons must be redeemable for the same group of products and all coupons must be for the same kind of discount i.e. all must be the same percent off or the same buy one get one free offer. You can enter no more than 4 coupons at a time for a maximum of a 100 characters including commas. When all information is complete and accurate PRESS the blue Continue Check Out button. This will complete your purchase. If all the required information has not been entered you will get an error message explaining what needs to be completed. You will receive a confirmation of your order by e-mail. This confirmation will include an order number and a copy of your order (minus credit card number information). Please check the confirmation copy for accuracy and immediately report any mistakes by return e-mail. Logging-in or Creating a New Customer Account For New customer: SendSafe will not recognize you and display two options: "I am a returning customer" or "I am a new customer" (see entry form example below ). At this time you should fill out the "I am a new customer" form to create a new customer account. Creating a new account is fast and very easy. SendSafe will do everything automatically. You should pick a username and password that is easy to remember then press the Create Account button. If SendSafe displays a message that reads: "The User Name or Password you chose is not available" this means someone else has already selected either the same user name or password; please try both a different username and a different password.

Hints and tips:
*If the system does not automatically recognize you in the future, you will need your username and password to login as a returning customer. For Returning Customer: If you have placed orders before, you should log-in with your username and password.

Clicking on any of the hyperlinks in the order status window will load a printable copy of the e-receipt for the order along with shipping status. This e-receipt contains all the information in the system about the order. Using the Reorder page, you can quickly reorder items that you have previously purchased. A button which loads the Reorder page is located at the top of your MyAccount page. The recorder page list all items which can be reordered. On the right side of the page is a shopping basket window which shows what you have in the basket. You add items to the basket by clicking on the "Add" button located to the left of each item. You can find out more about each item in the list by clicking on the hyperlink for the name of the item. When you have entered all the items you want to reorder, you can proceed directly to checkout by pressing the "Continue Checkout" button. You can also add other items to the basket using normal store shopping activities. You can obtain the status of your current orders on the Order Status page. A button which loads the Order Status page is located at the top of your MyAccount page. Check the "shipping" column to find out if your order has shipped. If you find a tracking number then you know your order has shipped and you can use this number to lookup tracking information on the carrier's website. You may also find a note in the shipping status column. A miniature shopping cart is displayed on some sites. This mini-cart allows you to see your oder as you put items into the cart.
The cart displays a few items on each page More pages are viewed by clicking the page numbers at the top of the mini-cart. If no number are visible then there is only one page. Pressing the checkout button lands you directly to the shipping page of the checkout process. The quantity for each line item is displayed and the total amount of the items in the cart is displayed at the bottom. Items can be deleted from the cart by pressing the An empty cart will display an error message if the checkout button is pressed. A bank or its intermediary which approves your credit card charge can experience network outages. These outages will result in the e-commerce system not being able to authorize your order at that time. The e-commerce system will recognize this outage and will retry authorization later. The e-commerce system will retry the authorization for three days before giving up. It is very rare that an order in retry fails. If all reties fail then the e-commerce system will e-mail an e-receipt to you indicating that the order has not been completed. Never submit a follow up order until you receive an e-receipt stating that the initial order has failed to process and that no more retries will be attempted. Submitting additional orders before you receive confirmation that an initial order failed, can result in duplicate orders should the initial order ultimately succeed in processing.
