Are you finding some things that don’t work on this Website? For example an ERROR ALERT tells you to select a pickup position when one has been selected - OR - refuses to add the Model you chose or the Cart won’t load.
This type of ERROR is caused by Browsers that have bugs and the way forward is to use a different browser. We like Mozilla because it’s the best. You can also try Safari and Chrome but even these can have bugs on occasions. All other Browsers including IE are known to cause problems. Make sure your browser is fully updated since frequent UPDATES from the maker are used to fix bugs.
Don’t believe us? here’s a report from one customer who thanked us for our advice.
Thanks so much. I was using Safari, but was able to place my order on the site with Firefox and had absolutely no problems. Thanks! Nate

UPDATE 28-Mar-16:
It has come to light that Mac computers began experiencing problems navigatng this site (and others too) in recent weeks. The source of the problems have not been identified but we suspect a connection with automatic updates.
If using a PC: from past experience we know problems arises because you might have a browser issue which is usually solved by using a different browser. The site works fine with IE 6 & 7, Firefox and Mozilla. Safari and Opera are doubtful at this stage but we are working on it and hope for better results soon.
IE and Safari often develop a bug which can also cause problems and can only be fixed by updating with most recent versions (not IE8 Beta) which repairs the bug -or- reinstalling the browser from scratch.
