To purchase items using our Shopping Cart, simply follow the steps listed
below. If you are having difficulty adding items to your cart or your cart
appears empty after you have added items to it, please consult the troubleshooting
tips further down on this page.
If you want to modify your order before you complete the checkout process,
here's how:
If you aren't able to find the "Add to Shopping Cart" button on an
item's product detail page, first make sure that the item is not listed as
"out of stock indefinitely" If the item is listed as available, it's
possible that your browser is not downloading the image of the Shopping Cart
button. Click the "Help" link at the top of your browser window
(above the browser commands) to learn how to turn automatic image loading back
on. The button should then reappear
Placing an order with Debt-Proof Living is easy. There's no need to create
an account first. You will have done that once you've placed your first order
online. (We can also accept orders by phone - 800-550-3502 or 562-630-6474.)
First you will need to browse or search for the items you would like to order.
A search box is located at the top on every
page of our store. You can find an advanced search button on the bottom menu of
each page. When you find an item that interests you, click the title or name of
the item to see its product detail page. Here you will find more information
about that particular item.
Adding Items to Your Shopping Cart
If you want to order an item, click the "Add to Shopping Cart"
button on the item's catalog page or the product detail page. Once you've added
an item to your Shopping Cart, use your browsers back button or the
"Continue shopping" button to keep searching or browsing until your
cart contains all of the items you want to order. You can access the contents
of your Shopping Cart at any time by clicking the Shopping Cart
icon at the top of every page of the bookstore.
Proceed to Checkout
Take a moment to review all of the items you've placed in your Shopping
Cart. If you decide that you don't want to purchase a particular item, click
the "delete" button next to the item. When you're ready to place your
order for everything in the "Shopping Cart Items--To Buy Now" section
of your cart, click the "Checkout" button. You will be taken to the
first page of the order form.
Important- If this order is to be sent to a different
address or is a gift (or both if buying multiple items); make sure you check
the “Gift/Different Shipping Address?” box.
New Customer
If you have never shopped with us before or do not have a current on line
subscription, follow the link where it says, “If it's your first time in this
store click

Returning Customer

password.
If this order is not a gift or not to
a different shipping address
If you are purchasing something for yourself to go to the address you have
entered as your primary address, the process is straightforward.
When you click on the checkout button you will be taken to the shipping page
where you can choose a shipping option (see shipping). Click on continue and
you arrive at a recap page which shows all items ordered, shipping charges and
tax, if any. If everything is satisfactory, click on “continue”. The next page
is where you will enter your credit card information.
That’s all there is to it.
Select a Shipping Method
Consider how quickly you would like to receive your order and select a
shipping method. Keep in mind that our office is open during
business hours (9 -5) and orders are only processed during
business hours on weekdays. If your order is placed in the
evening or on the weekend allow time for the processing to take
place the first business day following the placement of the
order. At this time we only ship by US Post office. Debt-Proof
Living provides the following guidelines for shipping. Please
note that time in transit is established by the United States
Postal Service. Priority mail is usually delivered within 2 to 3
business days after the order has been processed.
Express mail is usually delivered overnight if order is placed
prior to 12:00 pm Pacific Time, Monday through Friday. Orders
placed on weekends or after 12:00 pm Pacific Time will usually
be delivered on the 2nd day after the order is processed.
Media mail is usually delivered in 5 to 7 business days after it
is processed.
The shipping charge for your order will be displayed on the order summary page
just before you submit your order.
If this order is a gift or to a different shipping
address
If you have chosen to send your item(s) to a different shipping address or
as a gift (or both), this is where you’ll enter that information. (Remember, in
order to send a gift or to a different address you must put a check in the
“Gift/Different Shipping Address?” box on the shopping cart page.
Click your back button if you forgot).
Click on the “Enter a New Address” button to make a new entry. This can be
an individual you want to send a gift to or a different shipping address for
yourself. Remember, any names in your address book can be used to send a gift
or just as a different shipping address.
If you are sending everything to one address as a gift, check the
“This is a gift” box and click on the “send to this address” button for the
individual you wish to send to. This will take you to the shipping page where
you can choose a shipping method. At this time we offer priority mail or
express mail. (We hope to add more options in the future.)
If you are sending to multiple gift recipients or addresses, click on
the “send to multiple addresses” in the upper right corner. The next page will
allow you great flexibility in choosing who gets what and where it all goes.
The first thing you notice is a pull down box where every thing you have
added to your cart is shown. Select the first item. In the next pull down box
you will select the quantity of the item to send (for example, if you are
purchasing 4 subscriptions to go to different individuals, you would select
quantity 1 at this point).
In the next box you select the individual it is to go to and click the “add
“button”. When you select an individual, this creates a shipping group. If you
have purchased anything else that will go to that individual, you would assign
that product to that shipping group. This helps minimize shipping charges.
If you want any of the shipping groups to be sent as a gift, just click the
“gift Group” button above the specific shipping group. When the gift group
button is selected, a date box appears that allows you to choose a date in the
future if you so desire., otherwise it will be sent immediately. If you wish to
add a gift message, you can do so on the next screen.
Anything not assigned to a shipping group is sent to your address.
When you click “continue” a verification box appears that summarizes your
choices. If you wish to correct anything, just click cancel and make the
appropriate changes. Click OK.
You’re now at the shipping page where you can choose what shipping option
you want for each individual shipping group as well as write any messages for
any gifts you have chosen. Click continue.
You are now at the final recap page which shows everything you have
purchased, where it’s going and to whom, shipping options chosen, handling fees, any tax if
applicable and then a grand total amount. Click on continue, enter your credit card,
wait for approval, and you are done.
