Shopping
& Cart FAQs & Help
The shopping cart is a basic paypal shopping cart.
It collects the items you want and when you decide you are done shopping takes
you to the paypal payment page to buy them using your credit card. Paypal's
security information is found on their website here.
Domestic US Shipping & Handling charge is a maximum of $6.95 for any size order to any
US address.
I have arranged the cart to now charge a smaller fee for lighter orders :)
International shipping and handling charge is weight based and depends where the package is
going.

How to use the
shopping cart:
 | The Shopping cart is basic and simple and opens in a new window so Turn
Pop-up blockers OFF the only pop-up you will receive from this
site is your shopping cart. |
|
When you find something you
want to buy, click the button that says "Order / Add to Cart"
|
|
If you are still looking around, click the button that
says "Continue shopping" and it will return you to the last page you
were on. |
|
When you are done looking around, click any button of the buttons that say
"View Cart" [they are at the top of every page] and it will bring you to the
cart page showing all of the items you have selected.
|
| DO NOT email me your credit card
number. I cannot input the information into paypal for you. |
| If you want to use a Check, Money order,
please email me a list of the items you want
(you can copy and paste the text from the cart into an email). |
International Orders:
Shipping is calculated by the weight of the package and the
country it is going to. The cart I used has a maximum of five different price
per weight entries and it is narrowed down to the most appropriate amount for
each order based on its weight.
International packages with a total weight of more than 5
pounds will require and additional shipping cost. If your order ends up weighing
more than 5 pounds I will contact you after receiving it.
Frequently asked
questions (FAQs):
I live in the US. If I want to buy six items do I have to pay
$6.95 six times?
| No, $6.95 flat rate means if you buy 1 item the total
S&H charge will be $6.95. If you want to buy 14 items the total S&H
charge will also only be $6.95. |
I clicked on the Add to cart button and nothing happened.
What's up?
| Most likely you have Pop-up blockers on. You need them
"off" to use the cart. The only pop-up my site uses is the
shopping cart. The links in my links section also open in a new window.
That's it. I do not use any advertising pop-ups or any other pop-ups.
For Internet Explorer and AOL users, look at the bottom right of your
browsing window. If you can't see the shopping cart it probably says
something like "blocking pop-ups from bigislandtoys.com" down
there. You need to click it and choose the option "allow pop-ups from
bigislandtoys.com" to use the shopping cart. |
I just bought an item and when I go back to the page I saw it
on it still shows it available...why isn't it gone?
| I update the site manually. Usually multiple times daily.
When an item is purchased I go delete it straight away. |
When can I expect my package?
| I usually ship the day after I receive the order. US
delivery usually takes 2-7 days to arrive. Foreign delivery usually takes
5-10 days to arrive. More detailed information is found under "policies" |
