How do I remove an item from a shopping cart?

Click on the “Shopping Cart” link on the top of the homepage or on the “View Cart” link in the shopping cart summary to the right.  This will display all the titles you have added to your cart.  Next to each title, there is a link labeled “Remove”.  Click on “Remove” for each title you want to remove from your cart. 

I have added an item to my shopping cart, but my cart is empty?

We use cookies to keep track of the items you add to your Cart. If, after adding an item, you receive the message "Your shopping cart is currently empty," you probably have cookies turned off on your Internet browser.  Check your Internet browser's "Option" or "Preferences" link to be sure cookies are enabled. Cookies make the Cart work. 

Logging into or out of “My Account” can also cause items to disappear from your Cart. For example, if you create a list of items in your Cart, but you are not logged on to your SelfMadeEasy.com account, that list will be replaced by your account-specific Cart when you do log in.  If you have an account with SelfMadeEasy.com, make sure to login before adding items to your cart.

Another reason for technical trouble is "cookie-trimming," or file utility software. Cookies are necessary for buying items from the internet and making your Cart work efficiently. Programs such as WebFree, Guard Dog, Cookie Cutter, Cookie Monster, Junkbuster, Watchdog, as well as certain browsers, can suppress cookies.  If you have any of these software running, please adjust their settings accordingly.
