I am having problems at checkout. I keep being sent back to the shopping cart.

  • It's probably the old Mac computers running Safari. Users should upgrade their Operating System and Web Browser when having this issue. The old operating systems/browsers will try to use SSL ( secure socket layer ) for the HTTPS ( secure transfer ) protocol. Thanks to Poodle and Heartbleed viruses, nobody is allowed to use SSL anymore in favor of the new TLS ( Transport Layer Security ). So some old operating systems will not let the user checkout.
