    #1. I had to redo my order 3 times because my cart kept going back to Zero items in cart. #2. I finally got Some of the things I wanted to stay in the cart and no, at payment time, I am bombarded with "buy this, that, and another before I can get back to my busy life. Now I am praying that my stuff does not vanish again before I hit the finish button.

    I don't know why you have the drop-down boxes -- I can see them but can't get to them. I had to use search for everything. Why do you list things that are on sale if they are out of stock? Are they still going to be on sale when they are back in stock?
