If you have not created an
account on our web site, there are two ways you can start this
process. The first is to select the 'Create an Account' option
on any page in the left side navigation area (figure 1).
Figure 1
The second is by
selecting the 'MyAccount' link from the quick navigation area
(figure 2) or from the Customer Care section (figure 3). From
the 'MyAccount' logon page you will see a button at the bottom of
the page to create and account.

The first step in
creating an account is to set you ID and Password (figure 4).
Your ID can be any length but can not contain any spaces. It
is preferable to make your ID the primary e-mail address of the
account. This is something unique and easy to remember.
If you enter in an ID that is already in use you will be prompted
for a new one. You password must be between 6 and 12 character
long and can contain letters and/or number but no spaces. Make
certain you write down your ID and password. Your password can
later be reset through various means but you ID can not be changed.
Figure 4
After you select
an ID and password, you will see the main membership information
page. If you ahve made a purchase from our site already then
this page will look familiar. Here you will enter in your
billing, shipping and payment information into your account.
All fields with a red astrecks (*) need to be filed in. If
your shipping information is the same as your billing, simply select
the box labeled 'My shipping
information is the same as my primary information'.
A couple of notes
about this page and filling in the information. First, if you
want to expedite your checkout process but do not want to keep a
credit card number or PO number on record with us, that is fine.
Simply select the the option 'I
will enter my payment information at the time of purchase'.
This way all of you billing and shipping information will be
retrieved during checkout but you will be prompted to enter in your
payment information. Second, if you want you can have our
system 'remember' you when you return. This simply helps
streamline the checkout process even further. This way when
you are checking out you do not need to login in order for us to
retrieve your information. We already know who you are when
you come to the site and thus will retrieve this information for
you. This is a feature that you can turn on and off at anytime
by editing the information in your account.
