I’ve added an item to my cart—where did it go?

If you are unable to see material that you have added to your cart, you can open the Copies Direct cart in a new window.

The easiest way to keep track of your shopping cart is to bookmark the Copies Direct address. This enables easy access to your cart at any time during the ordering process.

Please ensure that you click on the ‘add to cart’ button so that material is added into your cart.

If you have returned to the Copies Direct cart from the bookmark in your browser and there are no items in your cart you will have either, completed the order and received an order number, or you may not have added the order to your cart and will need to complete the order for the material you require again.
