Finding and Adding Products to your Shopping Cart
Whenever possible, try to avoid using the "Back" button on your browser. The results can sometimes be neither what you expected nor what you wanted. This is particularly important on the Checkout pages.
It's easy to browse our product catalogue and purchase items at Lamp-Post Pet Supplies! If you know what item you're looking for and would like to go straight to it, you can type keywords into our search box in the upper right hand corner of every page and then click on the button or press the enter key.
Not sure what you'd like?
Browsing the shop is equally easy.
There are menu bars at the top and bottom of each page and and these will lead you to the principle sections of the shop. Clicking on 'products' for example will open a new page which will list all the categories of pet products by animal. To see what product categories we have for dogs, as an example, you would then click on 'dogs'. The resulting page will include a list of all the product categories for dogs. Clicking on the 'coats' section will lead to a list of the dog coats we stock.
There is a more sophisticated menu on the left hand side of each page and placing your cursor over one of the items in that menu will (in many cases) open further sub-menus so you can find the page you want directly from there.
Once you reach the page listing the items in which you are interested you can click on the product photo or on 'more information' for a larger picture and more details of the product. Or select a quantity and/or option and click on the 'add to cart' button to add the item to your cart (you won't have purchased the item until you check out).
On the left hand side of each page is a 'minicart' which will list all the items currently in your basket. At each stage you'll have the option to continue shopping or proceed to checkout.
Checkout
Purchasing items you have placed in your shopping cart is a five-step process:
- Reviewing your Cart

When you have finished verifying the number of items you have ordered, click on the "Checkout" button at the bottom of the page.

payment method selection drop down box from which you may select
an option. Remember, if you wish to pay by cheque you should select
