Think of your "shopping cart" as an online version of a real shopping cart that you would use whenever you go to the store to buy goods.
Just like with a real shopping cart, you can add and remove the items you wish to purchase. Our online version of it also allows you to easily change quantities of each item or move them into your "wish list" if you are not ready to buy them right now. To add an item to your shopping cart simply click on "add to cart" button next to the item description. The status of your shopping cart is displayed on the left of each page - a "mini shopping cart". It displays how many items in total you have selected and their total price. You are also able to see the last few products you have placed into your cart. The newly added item is displayed in an alternative bright colour to show that contents of your cart has changed. To review or edit contents of your cart please click on "view / edit cart" inside the "mini shopping cart" or click on the header displaying "shopping cart".
"My shopping cart" page allows you to update quantities of each item, move the item into "my wish list", remove the item or empty the cart completely. By clicking on the item image or description you will see full description of the item you about to purchase.
You may go to the checkout from the "my shopping cart" page or directly from the "mini shopping cart".
Before you go to the checkout please make sure you have all the items you want as well as the quantities of each item in your shopping cart. You will need to have an account with Avalaya.com to checkout and complete your order. Once you click on the "checkout" button you will be given an opportunity to create a new account or log into the existing one. After providing all your relevant details you will have to click on "pay now" button on the "order summary" page. Your browser will be redirected onto our payment clearance website where you will have to enter your credit card details. Once your card details have been accepted you will see an order confirmation page which means that we have accepted your order and will start processing it soon.
Shopping on our website is secure and your credit card details are protected by the industry standard 128bit encryption. Whenever you shop on the internet and about to enter your credit card details, check that your browser address bar starts with HTTPS:// rather than usual HTTP:// (note the "S") and a closed padlock icon similar to this

on your browser's status bar. This indicates that the page you see in your browser and the details you are about to submit are encrypted on their way to our secure transaction processing servers.
If you require more technical talk, please try this page about HTTPS at Wikipedia.
As soon as you submit your order you will receive an order confirmation email. This email will contain a list of the products you ordered, the total cost and the order number which you can quote if you have any queries regarding the status of your order. After that you will be receiving emails confirming the change of status of your order as it progresses through our internal systems until you receive your complete order in the post.

Your order will pass through several stages on our systems before it reaches you, for each one of those stages you will receive an "Order Status" confirmation email. It usually takes only few minutes for these emails to reach you, but during busy times it may take considerably longer. If after 24 hours you still have not received any of those emails, it is possible they may have been caught in your spam mail folder. Please check your "spam" folder to see if they are indeed there. It is also possible for some kind of network or email server failure to occur which could have prevented the emails from reaching you.
